August Sleevers?

[JP0P 9]

Yay...me too..same day also...clothes r fitting so much better...I haven't lost alot but its coming off slowly. I see it in my clothes..a total of 35 lbs so far.this includes pre op..im kinda eatting whatever I want...alot of Protein..trying out the waters...good luch

It's amazing, isn't it?! My clothing is fitting so much better. I didn't even realize that they were tight to begin with. Are you tracking your Protein intake? I was surprised at how little protein there is in food. Anyway, congrats, and keep going!

Hi!

I had mine on 08/29! Feeling great now! I actually feel full of energy... I have lost 25 pounds so far. I walk about 30-40 min a day... I'm getting in around 45-50 grams of Protein a day... It's difficult! Enjoying the new me

My multi is kinda nasty to take but I make myself and I haven't really found a yummy Protein shake yet still looking!

Hey! My surgery was done on 8/29 and I'm doing well. I have forced myself to drink Water and move. This has helped alot. Being in az its a little hard to get the walking in though.

I was on 64 oz Gatorade (not diet) and diluted fruit juice for 7 days. Then to purée for 3-4 weeks. I have my first check up at that point and I move to mechanical soft for 3-4 weeks. Check up. Then soft for 3-4 weeks. Check up. Then regular diet. I thought the lack of full liquids was odd' date=' too, but I promised to follow doctor's orders.

Thanks for the tip on meat based Soups with milk powder. What is milk powder -- like Protein powder, or just reg powdered milk? Do you have any meat based Soup recommendations? I tried a cheeseburger Soup last night. It was eh.[/quote']

It's basically powdered milk. But be careful as if you buy a coffee whitener it may not actually contain any milk. In the UK we have a brand called Marvel. Not sure if you have that there. By meat based Soups I was thinking more along the lines of chicken and leek, chicken and vegetable, cream of chicken. Beef n vegetable...that kind of thing. Cheeseburger soup sounds disgusting. Lol! I made Bolognese today with steak mince and then blended it. Was very nice! :-)

Does your stomach make sounds like an old boiler or a drainhole too? Mine does. It's actually quite comical.

[missvickie 32]

Is anybody using a straw to sip their liquids? I'm 2wks out and having such a hard time sipping all day.

I was told not to use a straw

I was told not to use a straw. But I don't see how I could possibly take in any more air than I do when sipping.

I've actually been using a straw since I've been home from the hospital and I'm 2 weeks out. I haven't had any problems with air or gas in my stomach. I personally feel better when I use a straw, it helps control my gulping.

I might give it a go.

Thanks! I think I'll try it. I feel like I swallow quite a bit of air when sipping out of a cup. And I end up with to much Water in my mouth so I have to swallow 1/2 and hold the other 1/2 in my mouth for a few seconds before I can swallow it. Lol. Maybe a straw will help...
