    Carb question

    ShannonSinTx replied to ShannonSinTx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Thank you everyone for the great advice. This whole process has been all consuming for the last couple of months. I'm excited to go back to work at the end of the week just so I can think about something else.

    Help!

    ShannonSinTx replied to sallydswanson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I used a small medicine cup...1 oz and tried to drink 1 every 10-15 minutes. By day 4, it was so much easier. Hang in there!

    laproscopic or robotic help me choose please!

    ShannonSinTx replied to wlsmotov8ed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I had robotic surgery and everything went great. The surgeon controls everything so it's not just like they send a robot in. I also was outpatient. In and out in 8 hours.

    Refrigerator Help!

    ShannonSinTx replied to Nikki Monroe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I had optimum nutrition protein powder, syntrax nectar protein sample pack, and crystal light. Also, low sodium v-8.

    I used Capital Surgeons in Austin with Dr.Marquez. She was great, I loved her!

    Let's talk about blood clots

    ShannonSinTx replied to naturegirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    They usually occur in the lower legs accompanied by swelling, redness, and tenderness.

    Roll call all who had surgery JUNE 2015

    ShannonSinTx replied to JosieAppleHead's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was sleeved June 29th and down 28 pounds. Only 100 more to go...lol I'm still on soft foods, everything is sitting well except tuna. Ugh, that was awful and to top it off my 5 year old son asked me why I was eating cat food?!

    Hey dwood, just wondering how much you're able to eat now that you're on more solid foods?

    Gas pains

    ShannonSinTx replied to ToniMarie05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Oh goodness. I know the first 3 days or so I just felt really blah and was hoping I had done the right thing. I hated sipping . I used a 1 oz medicine cup and tried to get at least 4-6 ounces an hour. I'm now only 17 days out and on pureed but I feel just about normal. Hang in there!

    I've fallen and I can't get up

    ShannonSinTx replied to BarrySue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I agree with Shustar. I never had actual pain just discomfort.

    ShannonSinTx replied to TrillTX's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I plan on making turkey meatballs and some mini turkey meatloaf (using a muffin pan) and freezing them for quick meals. Also, deli meat is high in protein and omelets. I'm still searching for ideas, too.

    Gas pains

    ShannonSinTx replied to ToniMarie05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Gas-x strips are great and of course walk, walk, walk! I felt soooo much better by day 5.

    @vsgann We're talking about being able to eat too much now at a couple of weeks out. Not worried about starving or getting in veggies at this point. You might wanna read the whole thread.
  19. ShannonSinTx
    Lol....and I just thought I was through worrying after I made it through the surgery!
  20. ShannonSinTx
    I worry about this too. I'm also 2 weeks out and on purees. I can eat 4 ounces fairly easily. Will it change when switching to more solid foods?

    Taking my son to a water park and going down the slides!
  22. ShannonSinTx
    I had surgery at 7am, discharged at 3. Leak test done in OR. So glad I didn't have to spend the night.

    Hi, I'm new here and was recently sleeved on June 30th. I'm trying to plan ahead and am wondering if anyone has tried any sleeve cookbooks?
