Leggings are my BFFs right now. And today (drumroll please) I went into Fashion to Figure (a plus size store) and none of their smallest shirt fit right. I was only able to buy a pair of jeans from there. So I went into Forever21 (hated this store for a while, could never find anything that fit me) and viola! I was able to buy 6 shirt size L. From 2x (sometimes 3x) to a Large!!!!! Woo freaking Hoo!

Gas Pains Then .......
shrinkingDEE replied to lorid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gas-X has been my BFF since day 5 of surgery. Gas pain is a killer and sometimes I just need to pass gas (fart) one time for everything to feel better. But without gas-x it takes FOREVER. I'm 7 weeks post op and I still have to occasionally take something for gas. Ugh. -
We're on the same boat. I went to chipotle, had less than half of a burrito bowl (no rice) with no problem.

I agree! :-)

Don't beat yourself up mami. You do belong here, and you're def a valued member of this forum. We all have issues in our lives, and sometimes it's good to vent and let it out. Hope you feel better mami. :-)

Lol yeah. They sell it in a box and in little packets. You add it to anything that you would normally add regular sugar in and it tastes just like the real thing. :-)

I usually do banana, strawberry and pineapple. With Water & ice and stevia. Or Mango & pineapple with water & ice and stevia. Yum.
-
I did had my first one 1.5 weeks out. If you normally have them add sugar then just tell them to add substitute sugar (stevia is pretty darn good)

I think that's the only thing I got on Ohio. Don't know much else. Well, other than that picnic basket looking building. Lol

Protein Shots! No Not The Painful Kind!
shrinkingDEE replied to barebones's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A nutritionist from my job got me Yes whey, a Protein shot made from whey isolate protein only and it's 25g of protein per tube and it's only 2.9 oz. I'm going to give it a try and I'll update you guys with the taste opinion. This is pretty new and it's available from a pretty reliable source. Bariatricadvantage.com. Cheers! -

Do You Still Feel Hungry/have Cravings?
shrinkingDEE replied to Fishy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, all we did was get the Aunt Jemima whole wheat blend. We added some unflavored Protein and then added the eggs and milk. And cooked it regular. It was as good as regular pancakes to me and it went down fine. I'm 4 weeks post op btw. hope it helps. But unfortunately what works for one person doesn't necessarily mean it'll work for the next. Hopefully it works for you too. -

Do You Still Feel Hungry/have Cravings?
shrinkingDEE replied to Fishy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you're like me and like (or love) your pancakes, today my mom made me wheat pancakes with extra added Protein with sugar free syrup. I got 10g of protein plus the protein from the egg and milk used. it was yummmmm! Lol & I feel you about the gulps. Sometimes if I forget and I gulp then my pouch gets mad and tightens up. Ugh! -
