    Names for my new sleeve

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Sheribear68's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I had a lap band for 9 years and I called her Lola, because what Lola wanted we got to eat, but what she didn't we spit up. But I hope the sleeve is better.

    I keep seeing you can have sugar

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Sandra Nuelken's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I don't tolerate that type of protein only vegetarian protein. I had a lap band hand lost over 100 pounds and maintained it until the band failed. I know what to eat, and don't do sugar very much. I'll save further questions for my doctor.

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Sandra Nuelken's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I found a vegetarian protein mix that I can tolerate but I mix it in strawberries and bananas to make my smoothies and that is sugar a fruit sugar. I love the new Protein Boost the only premade protein drink I really like. I used to drink the EAS protein but this is so much better. What happens when you eat sugar and not SF? Does it make you sick?

    June 2019 sleevers

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Pippa1703's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Try Myfitness Pal, it is free and can be done on the phone. Will count calories and protein. I also have a Fitbit that pairs with this program.

    I had the lap band for almost 10 years and it quit working the last 4 years with big problems. The tubing was rubbing the vagus nerve and eventually led to A-flutter. Now I'm pursuing the sleeve. I am struggling to not gain all of the weight. I'm using a Fitbit and My Fitness Pal. I have put on a lot of weight, and all I want is the freedom of movement back. Interested in hearing any feedback.

    Just going through the initial tests.

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Sandra Nuelken's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm continuing my lap band meals, protein, protein. protein. I can't use the powder ones they make me ill and crampy. I've discovered Boost high protein drink and love it so I'm using it. I can use plant protein powder or vegan protein. Just waiting for the tests to be done. Thanks for the advice.

    Great pictures and great work! I'm just doing the initial tests, I had a lap-band for 9 years and had to have it removed. You gave me hope and encouragement.

    Anti Inflammatory after Sleeve?

    Sandra Nuelken replied to Rene' S's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Voltaren comes in a cream. I used it when I had a lap band as it didn't pass through the stomach.
