???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????
BrandNewCB replied to time for june's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1 to 2 lbs a day? That's great... I'm jealous! -
I was also sleeved on March 2. I walk at least 30 mins everyday (more on the weekends). I try to get 80 grams of protein a day (some days I get a little more or a little less) and I typically get in approx 1000 to 1200 calories. I have lost a total of 70 pounds since January (30 pre op and 40 post op). I still have a lot to go but I feel great! Hope all you March Sleevers are feeling great too!

Your straw story: 5 days post op, just discovered straw dies work for me
BrandNewCB replied to Brigiter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have heard two thing regarding the use of straws. One, using straws can cause you to swallow air which can cause severe gas pain. Two, they will cause you to swallow to fast and when you should just sip. That being said, I am two months post op and can drink with a straw with no issues. I think using a straw is actually helping me to get my Water and fluids down easier. -
My nutritionist specified using calcium citrate. Her reasoning had something to do with absorbtion.

I am also taking the bariatric advantage ... have tried lemon and caramel so far and just ordered the orange and raspberry... where is the best place to get them? I have been ordering from amazon and bariatric choice websites but was wondering if they are less expensive elsewhere.

@@marissa75 ... I had my surgery on 3/2 and I am also always cold now... not sure if it's normal... but a cup of hot tea, coffee, or cocoa helps... just make sure its decaf... not only does the mug keep my hands warm while i'm drinking but the hot liquids warm my insides. Also, moving around helps (walking, exercising, etc.).
