hockeyfan7 got a reaction from NoBsVs in I wish I knew.....
My nutritionist said that Flintstone chewables Complete are perfectly fine. I buy the Walgreen's version as the Vitamins and minerals in it match and they are much cheaper.
I wish I would have known that the gas pain in the hospital could be in my shoulder instead of my stomach. My left shoulder hurt so bad. I never had much stomach pain at all.

hockeyfan7 got a reaction from alindsey in How did you get past the liquid stage? Feeling hopeless
I can only stand the Syntrax nectar Protein shakes - chocolate truffle is my favorite but I also like the strawberry, caribbean cooler (tastes like a pina colada), Crystal Sky and Twisted cherry.< /p>
I make mine with skim milk and freeze them for about 35-40 minutes to get it milkshake consistency. I like it so much better that way.

I need a robe. 300 pound dudes look silly in yoga pants.

hockeyfan7 got a reaction from NoMoBand in Thinking about Band to Sleeve Revision. I'd love your advice.
I had the band in 2012 and lost 80 lbs. Then it just stopped and I started throwing up pretty much everything I ate. All the fill adjustments both in and out weren't helping at all. So 2 weeks ago I had the band removed and a sleeve done instead. So far, so good. No more throwing up and everything I've tried has stayed down with no problems. I'm very happy I did it.

hockeyfan7 got a reaction from swoman2 in Need advice / apprehensive
I had my revision on June 1 so I'm 2 weeks out. I am totally happy so far. With the band I was throwing up all the foods I was supposed to eat and was eating anything that would stay down so I was gaining. After 3 months of trying to get the band adjusted my surgeon and I made the decision to switch.
I've lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks. So far I have had zero instances of throwing up or nausea or anything and I have been able to tolerate a lot of foods. I haven't found anything that is bothering me yet.
My surgeon used the same incisions as the band so I don't have new incisions. He took the band out and did the sleeve in the same surgery. I was in the hospital for two days and then home. No complications at this point.

hockeyfan7 got a reaction from alicia54 in Is the three week stall really a thing?
I lost 20 lbs the first week and nothing the second. This is week 3 for me and I saw a small drop this morning. I figured it was such a big loss the first week my body had to catch up.
