Please, please tell me that there is a decent tasting protein drink out there? I don't know how I'm going to make it. I can not handle Isopure or liquidcel so far. Nor unflavored protein powder. There is a smell to all these drinks and as soon as they get up by my nose, my stomach wants to retch. TMI - Even after just a taste, I belch it back up and can smell it...omg...I don't know how I'm going to handle protein shakes when I get to full liquids. I'm really concerned about not getting my protein requirements but I don't want to vomit everytime I try to drink one of these.

August post op sleevers: Check in
Karen Scott replied to motherof5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
the slime I think is wen you over eat and u feel like ur about to bust open and u throw up (vomit-tmi) it's more of a slippery or slimy liquid that comes off your stomach. Well for me that's wat I have experienced anyway. Any losers out there thinks it something else pl Enlightened me too. Later losers, enjoy losing. -
Well, I leave tomorrow for San Diego and yesterday I came home sick from work with intense nausea. I work in a pre school and two of the children had the stomach bug so... I went home and spent the day in bed, so close to vomiting. Nothing worse and I thought am I ready to do this drastic surgery and will I feel the same way post op. Today much better but have the (tmi) issues the other end. Surgery not until friday and feel I should be ready. All you "losers" please keep us in your prayers! Good luck all you December sleevers!

You're very welcome glad to hear that I have a sleeve buddy, I haven't started my protein yet, plan on starting them tomorrow. My bowl moments are watery so for the TMI. But you will get there

Hi Rebecca! So happy to hear you're doing well! I'm also doing well. I am still on full liquids until Saturday, so I can't wait to have some cottage cheese! Energy level is about 3/4 of the way back to normal. Here's a little tmi, lol, today I was happy to finally have a bm since surgery on Thursday! -
Before and after pictures please!
prettylittleheart replied to LaGueriTaChuLa13's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you, everyone! Y'all are too kind! My surgery was 2.28.13 - My skin has done well for the most part. TMI but my breast seem to have deflated but they needed work before surgery so fret not. Toning exercises are really important, no one could stress that to me enough! -
I thought they were trolls
oneeightybysummer replied to csawesome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Of course, on a TMI note I should also add that I just finished my cycle a couple days ago. In hindsight, that might have added to my Water retention. -
Out With the Old--In With the New!
kakatlady612 replied to FluffyChix's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Do I want to know Mr Fluffy's plans for the syrup on the nightstand or is it TMI? Remember Fluffy you're still a sick little birdie, no romping and stomping quite yet! let your wounds heal, I wouldn't want to explain to your surgeon how you busted a gusset, would you?

NSAIDS after Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
fit4life123 replied to Taralea71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon also said this when I asked what I could take for my once a month slap from Mother Nature. Sorry tmi. -
Boy, that much sugar these days gives me incredible stomach pain from gas. (TMI? hehe) Definitely not weight loss conducive food anyway... the guideline post-banding is no liquid calories except for your daily dairy. For optimum success, better decide now to just stay away from caloric liquids even if they won't make you die of gas pain. :phanvan

I am so glad I'm not alone!! Thank you so much. I am in my early 40's and I have been on some heavy medications for Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 10 yrs. I was told over 2 yrs ago that I was in Peri-Menopause...ugh, Just another thing to go along with my every changing body. More lube it is,lol!! He will never complain about that, I know TMI. CC Oh and I drink over a gallon of Water a day. So its definitely not a dehydration thing. CC

I love my Fitbit One! It's about an inch and a quarter long, half inch wide, and has a super sturdy clip that I hook onto my bra so it's unseen and secure. It measures how many steps I take each day, but also number of flights of stairs i climb, how far I go and even attempts to tell me how many calories it thinks I've burned on a given day. I love that it has an 'alert' feature on the Fitbit One (the cheaper one doesn't have this) that I can set as often or whatever time and frequency I want, and it'll vibrate just enough to let me feel it - which is my reminder twice a day to get up from my desk and take a walk around the building, so i don't stay too sedentary. All that is just on the device's little window! Then I can see a more full report on my handheld phone and on my computer (or ipad). On phone and ipad and computer I can enter the foods I eat (like using myfitnesspal - or you can even link it to your myfitnesspal account) and it calculates how much I can still eat and stay within my goals for burning calories for the day. So on a super active day it'll say i have more left to eat while still keeping a 1000 cal deficit. I don't pay any attention to that calculation really, since i typically try to eat the same calories each day. It's been really accurate when I've checked it against mapping or other calculators, but you have to set your stride length and tell it your stats for it to do that accurately. They're about $100 but I had a loyalty coupon from Best Buy that knocked off $15, so good deal. Honestly, If I lost it or wrecked it, I'd buy another one tomorrow! It's essential for me keeping track and keeping motivated. Also - (Sorry if TMI) I got one for my hubby, and my niece and I have 'friended' each other on it too, so we can all check to see who's ahead with steps or stairs - and it doesn't share anything you don't want, like weight or food or anything. Finally, I accidentally went swimming with it on once, and it dried out just fine. Others have said you can do that maybe one time, but the second time they got it soaked it died. I"m hoping NOT to do it again obviously! Good luck - go check them out.

Has anyone found the journey after surgery easy?
Stayc_b_me! replied to WannabeH's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thank you WannabeH and best of luck to you through your new journey! Hoping it will get better for both of us as for the head hunger. This group has helped me a lot and has given me good insight and support. I finally was able to talk with my surgeon's office today after the holiday weekend. I have to go back on the 2000mg Metformin for now. I started today and with medication and being on this liquid diet I have had extreme gas and not able to stay out of the restroom (which is one of the side effects I have dealt with prior to surgery and was in hope I could get away from"). (Sorry if TMI). One day at a time and I am sure this will be all worth it in the end. -
How much did you loose on your 2 week pre op diet?
2018Pammy replied to Luzbella's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started my preop diet on Monday, July 9th. My surgery is Monday, July 23rd. My diet consists of a protein shake for breakfast no more than 160 calories and the same for lunch. Then i have a lean cuisine for dinner. I'll tell you what...a frozen meal never tasted so good. I think i even licked the container! I am down 8 lbs so far. During my rough times I have had a side salad with very little dressing or some string cheese. The most difficult part for me is that i have been really constipated (sorry if that is TMI) My doctor told me to start on a stool softener and that has helped. Good luck on your preop diet. Stay busy if you get hungry and it helps to take your mind off of it. -
I'm preop and I wanted to go on the liquid diet that I will be on 2 weeks before my surgery. I stayed on it for a full week, WOW! It was so painful, I didn't go for 5 days!!! It was bad!! I have had 3 children and all three were easier than that! I had to use suppositories, sorry TMI!!! So my recommendation is to have all of those thing on hand, when I do it before my surgery I will take maralax everyday! I drink over 100 oz of water everyday day and that didn't even help!! I hope it's easier next time! I meet my Surgeon this Thursday!! Yay!!!

What was the worst part after surgery ?
kellyw74 replied to Dadams2102008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That was my BIGGEST fear was being sick. I HATE to throw up and feel sick like that! It didn't stop me from getting sleeved tho!! Luckly, I didn't get sick or nausea. I am 11 weeks out and still have not been!! YAY The worst thing for me was the gas!! OMG!! IT WAS BAD!! I felt horrible and could not even sit up straight. I didn't have pain from the surgery at all. It was all gas in my belly!! It lasted about 3 days and then I got really bad farting! LOL, TMI i know and then diahreah for about a week!! But, it made me feel so much better!! Kelly -
Almost lost my previous post... iPad with a mind of it's own again. As I was attempting to write, I'm not certain what I would call it, but TMI, anything I ate several hours before will come back up while asleep. The rules whic I have discovered are to not have anything to eat for at least 2-3 hours before I go to bed, and only enough Water to take my evenings medication.Then I wait for another 90 minutes before I go to sleep. Typing invisibly again...

female only PO period & exhaustion food reccomendations?
SlimDreams posted a topic in The Gals' Room
Hi this may be tmi, so let me apologize now but this is the ladies room right? My surgery was 6/26/13 and it triggered my period no biggie I was too loaded on anesthesia effects to notice any change....fast forward to a month later and my first "real" post op period and I'm noticing I'm much much more exhausted from it then any period I can recall preop...I've mostly stayed in bed all weekend (which is unusual for me) Do you ladies have any good food suggestions that I could incorporate in the future in the week leading up to and the week of to help increase my energy levels during my time of the month? Vitamin suggestions? What works for you? -
You know you lost weight when
BackSpin81 replied to Thomas CPA's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
TMI.... When you suddenly have a baggy bra!! I can't believe it. But it is true! The sides gap outward! Hallelujah! -
hehe 'bonier' i understand that. i had a tummy tuck after i had my daughter so they pulled up the whole pubic area on me so i have this freaky fat patch up to the scar of my tuck, then a freakishly flat stomach (with puffy hips sticking out i'm so weird shaped now). i really hope to lose that without having to have lipo. it's really weird and unnatural. if i wear yoga pants it's like i have a computer mouse shoved down my pants. (i know TMI lol). well you look fabulous and you seem to be in excellent shape. very inspirational! it must be so different to have only 10lbs left to worry about than what we start with, i'm so excited. i want to lose 100lbs. although not sure if that's too much or not, i suppose i'll stop when my body decides it's time? i don't even know. i just know i was most 'normal' looking at 115lbs, i'm short so it's reasonable. i cant wait! i'm now thinking that since i'm having the surgery and going to be eating more thoughtfully and exercising that maybe my body will look better than it did in my early twenties as i never worked out or tried to define my muscles. now i know much much more about taking care of my body. ps. speaking of calves, those are actually my own in the picture in my avatar lol.

Tmi- last night I was worried about no poop since the day before surgery (six days). I don't like introducing more chemicals into my body so I did a warm water enema. Not fleet but plain warm water through an enema bag. Works immediately. Doesn't dehydrate you at all. It hydrates and enlarges your colon a little to let things flow easier. I was farting up a storm before hand so I know my bowels were working just fine. But I feel oh so much better this morning with a more squishy belly. Everything is just haywire until it all figures out how to work with its smaller counterpart. We'll get there.

I've made it through my first week post sleeve and am going strong. Started full liquids today, but boy am I sick of sweet stuff. I had about a quarter of a special k Protein drink (bad idea), and then later about 2 oz of Soup which wasn't too bad. I'm still occasionally having these weird stomach cramp like feelings, and I can feel everything when it hits my pouch....such a weird feeling! I did have my first NSV today (I have yet to buy a scale...I should get on that..) I went to get dressed and I thought, eh, what the heck? Why not try on the pair of jeans that were a bit too tight for me before surgery. They buttoned all the way with ZERO effort! Holy hooters that happened quick! granted, I'm not down a whole size yet, but I'll take it! I have also noticed (this may be TMI and for that, I'm sorry) that my stools are happening more frequently than usual (like 2-3 times a day) and they are all liquid. I know I'm on a liquid diet, but is this normal? Kinda weird. Other than that, life is returning to normal. I've been walking walking and walking some more, and the soreness subsides a little more everyday. I opted not to go back to work today because I'm just not feeling 100% just yet, but i will be back on Monday. Other than that, not too much going on, just thought I'd catch up!

Wow a lot going on with everyone sorry to hear the sad news , but everyone try to stay positive & I forgot how to post pics so now I have to learn & remember how , but I am trying to catch up,like I said I will pop in every once in awhile . I still was dancing & doing Karoke , and having fun. However I haven't been on because I was really busy and started couponning because I was on Disability since March so had to cut down on a lot of stuff & spending a lot of time with family doing stuff for them. I was at work one night & my leg started hurting then it felt like it was on fire inside could barely walk coworker said go home stubborn me finished my shift went to get up to use the restroom ya I know TMI, but I fell & had to crawl & pulled myself up then got off the pot & stepped & fell again so I crawled back to my room & called into work then the Doctor , luckily got in that day. So like I said I was on Disability form March till the 1st of this month oh I forgot to mention that the Doctor did the cortisone shot in my knee in the bone also I have a little fluid in my knee but their not concerned with it. So I thought no problem I can dance,walk so I can go back to work. WELL after standing for 8 hrs even with my hour lunch break I was in excruciating pain & crying when I left work because it hurt so bad so back to the Doctor I went after a week working and back on Disability. Now I have to see a neurologist because their thinking it has something to do with my system my nerves. When I first went to my PCP for the pain to find out what was happening they told me I have athoritus all in my Left side & in my tendons, otherwise things are good except being off my feet & not moving like I was unfortunately I gained but I am having trouble getting it back off & I have tried what We usually say or suggest, so I'm not sure but I think my thyroid is acting up again so back on synthesis for a bit but I doubt I will have to stop ever taking it completely . So now you all know what had happened & what I'd happening with me so far, I will check in every once in awhile as right now a lot going on & I don't have the time I did because it's usually something with my Boy's or doing things for my Mother since I'm home now with them , they don't seem to miss me like they did when I'm working Lol because I know they miss me then because they will spend time with me & ask me to cook and tell me they miss my cooking lol. Like I said though now I have caught you all up.

Sometimes I wish he would have. When my surgery happened my surgeon had a surprise that I had intestinal malrotation which basically means my digestive system did not form properly. He had my connected incorrectly and then realized it and made the correction. I hope having this surgery done did not awaken something. Since last night I have had nothing but diarrhea tmi liquid and this morning there was lots of blood. Made an appointment and am going to try and get thru till then but I'm def freaking out

@@Chrystee Don't get discouraged! My weight stalled for about the same amount of time. I was also eating around 500 cal, and following the plan! I guess my body had to stabilize or get out of starvation mode. I don't know, but adding denser food ( as I was told to do) added more calories. I am now at about 800 calories and my weight started dropping again! I have lost 3lbs just since Monday yay! Have faith in the process & your nutritionist. Your weight will start going down again. Adding a little coffee back has helped as well! My surgeon gave me the approval & not to be TMI but it got things moving again thank God lol!
