    Re: Gained a couple pounds

    Re: Is it Ok to eat soup??

    I too use Unjury (mostly vanilla) but I do have unflavored and chicken flavored which works well with chicken based soups to boost the protein.

    Re: My balance has changed.

    No I eat like every two hours, either a snack or a meal. I have to set my alarm to tell me its time to eat otherwise I have no desire to eat. Every 4 hours would be way too long.

    I have been so very fortunate that I don't take any meds. No blood pressure, no cholesterol. Luckily youth and being somewhat active as a large person has helped me avoid medication. I hope this can...

    Re: My balance has changed.

    Yeah sure, my three months is on the 18th so we are real close. The biggest difference is that I probably have so much more to lose so if you went off percentages we are maybe much the same. So...

    Re: My balance has changed.

    It isn't dehydration. I do get the fluids, the protein, the vitamins etc. I am very strict on all these hence the progress I have had thus far. So no it is not dehydration.

    Re: The 3 Complaints I can't stand!

    Try to remember what it was like when you were newly sleeved and some serious questions or doubts. Do you remember your first stall and how frustrated you felt because of it? Maybe you don't. Maybe...

    When do you consider a stall over?

    So I had been in a lengthy stall- almost three weeks. Yes it was frustrating and all but I knew eventually it would pass. I kept hearing about losing inches not pounds/ not sure I totally buy that...

    Re: anyone had to be resleeved?

    I think the next revision would be gastric bypass. It seems unlikely to re-sleeve. I don't think any doctor would recommend re-sleeve.

    I get a slight twinge of pain in my upper stomach for just a second or two that usually means I'm done. Sadly for me there is not much warning of approaching full, just that the full mark has been...
