Do you track your calories? If you do, see if your nutritionist or doctor can go over your meals, and see if there is too much carbs or something that is making it harder for you to lose the weight....

I have been having severe reflux for several weeks, basically from two weeks out and it is still ongoing. The NP who works on our program here thought I might have an ulcer caused by H Pylori, and...

wishing you all the best on your journey! welcome to the group!

Seems high to me too, Im 9 weeks out, getting 800 cals and trouble getting in the protein, 60 is a great day. I would definatly measure and weigh and use something like myfitnesspal to make sure you...

Last weekend I gave out communion at church, not uncommon for me, Im active in the church. Anyway on the way out, one of the women stopped me. Can't even tell you her name cause I don't know it. Face...

Hey guys, I just came from our local support group and I always feel empowered after me and my sleeve sista's get a chance to talk and work through problems. On Tuesday I meet with my surgeon to...

I had a similar problem. You BP is too low, and more than likely your blood sugar is down there too. Go see your doctor!

getting some tomorrow to make these, guessing they are high in protein?

I'll have to go find those shakes. Next week I go back to work, and if i can sip on that from my desk all day I think i'll be doing better. I find that im in too much of a rush to eat and get on with...

OMG! I cannot believe that you had this done at a certified centre!!!! I'm Canadian and I know there are differences, but holy heck on a cracker, that is insane. Sounds more like you had been...

It is Christmas and it is hard, I know that even though I do not want to eat, and have to force myself to do so, I still have a few slip ups. Like any other lifestyle change, you accept the mess ups...

Happy New Year, and New YOU! I also was sleeved in December, and on Monday I will be 4 weeks post op! It does get better, the cravings go away and before you know it, you are looking at food like it...

Any chance that you are having some reflux. Water is better absorbed at room temperature.

I love your additude!!!! Not sure why some of the docs do a full clear diet. Our docs had us do the full liquids and that was hard enough. two weeks of clear is torture. I know I would be totally...

I am having a really hard time with the protein shakes, and I can get them down at at all. I have started to have small amounts of regular foods, and while I have started to stall, (cannot break the...

Alison I think you might be right, maybe Im eating them too fast, getting my restriction and then suffering. Today I have a pot luck and a big pot of protein rich soup made, so I think tomorrow I...
