I definitely miss that too!!!!! Sipping water isn't the same as taking a nice big gulp :-/

I love GenePro unflavored protein powder!! It has 30g of protein in one tablespoon!! I add it to my foods and even my cup of tea in the mornings!! Amazing and doesn't change the taste of anything! Also mixes very well!

Hey fellow VSGers!!! I got sleeved on April 12, 2017 and before surgery I had very good skin. I Didn't have to wear makeup or anything. Now, I am experiencing small bumps all over my face and everyday I wake up with more. It looks like a rash and I tried doing face washes and face masks but nothing works! I don't think it's anything I'm eating because I'm still on soft foods and have been for the past few weeks. I'm feeling very frustrated and upset at this point because I have never experienced this. Have any of you experienced this? What should I do? HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I'm desperate over here :-(

Thank you for replying!! I'll try Zyrtec as well to see if it helps.

Thank you for replying! Yeah I might make a dermatologist appointment because I'm getting frustrated. It could also be my water intake because before surgery I could drink a gallon and a half and now I could barely get 3 water bottles down :-/

I'll look into that as well. Thank you!!

Thanks for your reply!! I totally agree with you! Did u do anything to help it move along? Or you just waited it out? Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply!! I'm definitely thinking it's my hormones! A friend who did her sleeve surgery as well said that the body is confused and is trying to get back to normal and that is what caused the breakout! Did u do anything to help your skin during that time? And it's interesting to think that maybe it could be the metals in the vitamins. I've never heard of that before.... But wth my case, I don't think it's that because I've been taking the same multivitamin since before surgery :-/

Thanks for your reply! No nothing new and still using my same old moisturizer! I definitely believe it's the hormones cuz after surgery the body is all out of whack!! I just want my old skin back [emoji24]

Thank you all for your replies!! I'm going to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse or stays the same, I will be contacting my doctor!!

Thank you for your reply! I didn't think of that...I'm literally freaking out lol

My doctor and nutritionist advise the same!!! Protein first always and keep it low carb!!!

That's a good feeling!!!!

I love that show!! It keeps me motivated and on track!! Also, I love Dr. Now because he always keeps it real with his patients!!

Good morning everyone!!!! I have finally arrived at my surgery day!! I'm feeling all type of emotions right now but I know this is the best decision for me at this time! I'm excited to start my new life soon!! I live in NY and have to be at the hospital at 6:30am and my surgery is at 7:30am!!! Ahhhh pray for me y'all!!! I'm sending out lots of love and positive vibes to my other sleeve sisters/brothers getting sleeved today also!! Best of luck and I'll see y'all on the LOSER'S BENCH!!!

Oh so the day before me how awesome!!! Yeah I was a bit nauseous too while at the hospital but I used alcohol pads to sniff on when that would happen and they helped me tremendously!! Hope your recovery is going well too!!
