    Oops!! I forgot about that lol.

    I totally agree. I'm not a "vet" yet but reading the posts from the vets is what keeps me motivated.

    Agree- that's the food to focus on that the stage you are in, make yourself some eggs or chili with ground turkey & beans.

    Make sure you are getting at least 1000 calories a day with a little but if carbs - like a slice of light whole wheat toast and lots of protein. Also make sure you are getting your water in and you will probably see the scale moving. My weight loss has been slow but consistent. I treat myself to 3/4 cup of pasta once a week or I make a small pizza on low carb pita as the crust. It really does help

    How much weight have you lost post-op?

    How was she today?

    It doesn't sound normal to me. I didn't have any problems with my incisions

    I prefer to read the postings from those like yourself who have had the sleeve for awhile and has success as well as failures instead of those that just had the surgery.

    Pain meds should be taken with food. I learned that the hard way one year after having a tooth pulled. Even if she can drink a protein shake first and then take the pain meds, it should help. The meds also can cause nausea so if she can reduce how often she's taking them ....

    I had mine in 2008 with the revision this past February. The Dr. Didn't see until he was inside me that my band had slightly slipped and he said I had minimal scar tissue. My recovery from the revision went very smooth.

    I stick to My Fitness Pal as well and if I'm so hungry that I want to snack, I either drink water to try to fill me up or I'll eat a handful of almonds. The nuts do seem to hit the spot

    6 months post op, how lost?

    LSF replied to nprcowboy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    That's great!! I was wondering how you have been doing since you had all those issues. There is another woman who's daughter has been going through a rough time similar to yours.

    Protein bars

    LSF replied to NewNewMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I like the Atkins bars but I lose interest in the flavors. I would wait until after the surgery. I have to stand in the aisle and look at the different boxes and see what appeals to me now.

    Scrambled Eggs!

    LSF replied to Ready set go!'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'll make a cheese omelet with the Egg Beaters and put crumbled turkey bacon in it. Delicious!! And tomato.

    I'm curious to see what my surgeon says. We are in Massachusetts and his views are so different than some other surgeons. He does not require a pre-op liquid diet and his post op diet progresses a little quicker than others. He did my band in 2008 and I only wanted to go to him for my revision. I followed him to his new practice last year.

    Insuance won't cover tests :(

    LSF replied to Jazziminna's topic in Insurance & Financing

    I have Cigna and they covered all mine. It's probably your employer, Cigna covers different things based on the company's plan.

    I'm curious also to hear if she's getting any better

    We went to a brunch/ buffet. I really wanted dessert so I had an omelet and only are 1/2. When I went to the dessert table- nothing was appealing to me. I ended up taking a cookie and a small shot glass of chocolate mousse

    4 weeks post and I still PB

    You just might have to follow the liquid phase longer than the rest of us
  20. LSF
    Yes but I get the emails on my cell phone. I think I might have accidentally hit the unsubscribe at the bottom of the screen instead of the trash bin. I even went back on my computer and tried to redo it but it's still not working. Oh well
  21. LSF
    I was getting topics etc. sent to my e-mail. All of a sudden it stopped. Anyone know how to get it back???

    I feel like a pig.....

    LSF replied to judyoz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I eat an entire Dannon Light & Fit Greek every day at work. The first time I tried it after a week post op I could only eat 1/2 but I'm 3 months post op and can eat the entire thing now. I still take it slow though
  23. LSF
    Hmm. That's so strange. I'm going for a follow up next week with my surgeon, if I remember, I'll try to mention your story- I would like to get his feedback.

    I get it if I eat too fast - even if I think I was going slower. Try slowing it down even more

    ????bummer. Can they go back in to look at her sleeve? So much for the kidney stone being the culprit
