@@Kathy812 Kathy I too celebrated in June! But over the weekend I noticed something very faint. My initial thoughts were surgery was causing a hormonal reaction..... I did set up a gyn appointment but not until after the new year. In 2012 I had gone 11 months without a period and the dr. Explained that if a menopausal women goes a year without a period and then has one, she should be seen by a dr. Better to check things out. I would als ask the surgeon they know bariatric patients best.

@@Kathy812 lol! Toilet paper and my chicken soup Unjury and I'm set for any winter snow storm. I even mixed it in with mashed potatoes. The unjury not the TP, although at this point I could use the roughage. Anyone have any fiber suggestions? And Kathy if you are ever in the DC or Baltimore area we have to get together, with or without the chicken soup.

@@bellabill just wanted to add that although sweet, Gatorade was a life saver. Jello was good and then in Phase 2 and now in Phase 4 unjury chocolate splendor, unflavored and chicken soup flavor are staples.
-
@@bellabill it may help to water it down, I didn't do that because I was desperate to get potassium in. I would use caution and also not do what I did and spend a day drinking only the v8. v8 fusion was fine also decaf coffee unsweetened and unjury chicken soup protein drinks help fill the savory craving. Wishing you the best. It just keeps getting better and better!

I have been trying to get on here for days. The page either doesn't load or a post freezes and wipes out before posting. So my apologies for not responding and being supportive. I know someone had emergency hemmie surgery, hope they are on the mend and feeling better. Prune juice has been magical. Phase 4 has been tough but having lots of NSVs - tying shoes, more stamina for shopping and doing chores, donating bags of Clothes. And last night had a really cool experience, in the ER with mom (she's ok now) and after 7 hours I had to eat something, the vending machine had a protein pack of cheese, ham and almonds 2 ounces 13 grams of protein, cold fresh delist! hubby so impressed he's ordering it for his store. The old me would have gone for the pretzels and never considered anything else. Lovely, congrats on graduating!!! May this coming new year bring everyone good health and happiness and peace on earth. -

Hi everyone Happy Holidays of all! Still here I ahve a difficult time logging on to BP or writing a post that freezes, frustrating. I just wanted to add my experience with tomato juice because someone just suggested it as an alternative to the sweet options. I didn't read all my NUTs notes before I tried some V8 and ended up with a very irritated belly. Tomato juice can cause irritation, too acidic for some, so be careful. LainieG thinking of you and hope to share your sleeve success in the coming months. Losing slowly but this week had a bunch of NSVs tied my own shoes, shopped then entire mega grocery store, got rid of 4 bags of clothes, cooked 2 celebration dinners including my own birthday bash and all this while having some intense pain from 2 bone spurs and an Achilles tendon problem- not bragging about doing it just sharing how I can do life with this utterly amazing sleeve. Wishing everyone good health, peace and happiness.

@@shmeyers WOW! Your weight loss is terrific! Sooo excited for you! I'm trudging along, slowly but happily. Phase 4 has been difficult for me. I had a few days of grazing behavior, I was feeling hungry. I don't think I was getting enough protein in, so today I went back to doing some shakes instead of real food and I seemed to have a better handle on Sleevie Wonder. Any suggests for fast easy protein meals for breakfast or lunch? -
