I took a friend back to SAMs today to get her some.. She had gastric sleeve in March 2013.. She's lost 80 lbs.. If you get them let me know what u think. I really like the choc! Do u like Campbell's chicken noodle Soup? That's what I eat. I add a can of Water to the Soup and just eat the broth.. I also add pepper to mine to give it more flavor while its cookin.. I don't like the bullion.. Let me know what ya think?

If anyone is looking for a good Protein shake ' date=' I use Syntha 6 Protein Powder . The best is the chocolate cake batter . It's so good . The vanilla ice cream literally tastes like melted vanilla ice cream . 22 g of Protein for 4 oz of liquid . It's around 28 for a 2.91 lb tub . There are 28 4 oz servings in it .[/quote']

Where do you get it?

Hey I was sleeved July 8th' date=' my doc cleared me for purees day 3. Mashed potatoes are one of my favorites, but use caution while they taste good they are lore oin Protein (2g per 4oz) they are one of those things that doesn't taste different because its not altered the way other purees. But you have to focus on Protein. I am 2 weeks out today and hot my first stall.

SW - 274 (day of surgery, no pre op diet)

CW - 254 for 2 days now.

I think looking at the scale its awesome, you feel amazed every time it goes down, but when it doesn't don't freak. Stalls are normal. You just have to remind yourself that, and make sure your focused on making sure what your eating is right.[/quote']

I was also sleeved on July 10!! I check the scale everyday. Last two days have stayed the same however I didn't get my protein in and I think that is why. I'm looking for a good hair Vitamin to avoid losing my hair!!!

I don't think there is anything out there that can prevent Hair loss after this surgery because your hormones are so off balance. But the Vitamin Biotin can help speed up hair regrowth. But it will still take some time until your hormones get back to normal.

I take Biotin.. My hair dresser recommended it.. So, I started takin it right away.. Anything that will help because I already have fine hair. I take my Multivitamin, Vitamin d3 1000, Biotin, Calcium, & b12.. Remember not to take your Multivitamin and Calcium together if your multivitamin has Iron it.. U have to take Atleast 2-3 hrs apart..

Thanks I will look up that Vitamin can I get it at Walmart?

I found this for you..

What is Biotin?

Biotin is a Vitamin B component that provides your body with Vitamins and nutrients needed to allow your hair and even your nails to grow strong and fast. It boosts your metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and Proteins that are needed for thick hair and increased growth. Biotin is sometimes also known as vitamin H, and it helps protect your body against dryness and brittle hair follicles that prevent Hair growth. Not only does it do that, but biotin increases the elasticity of your hair follicles and the hair cortex, to help prevent some of the breakage and further damage that stops your hair from thickening and growing well. When taking in biotin regularly and in the right proportions, your hair will thicken and give off the appearance that you have more hair than you actually do. There are no harmful side effects of biotin, but you should always be sure to take the amount prescribed to you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
