Hey Ya'll,

Have to share this wonderful tasting new protein bar. Sold at Sams, Walmart.
17 grams of protein and only 5 grams of sugar-. Made by PURE PROTEIN-- Double Chocolate Vanilla Crunch (190 calories)and Peanut Butter. Oh my, so delicious and not one hint of that nasty protein taste. This is my breakfast "on the run". I have never been a fan of ready made protein drinks-tried them all but this one takes the cake(pun intended).

Hey Ya'll,

It's been 5 months since my surgery and lovin my sleeve! If you follow the rules, you are smooth sailing for the rest of your life! Solid Protein first(sleeve will do it job after a few bites), then if room, veggies. I stay away from soft foods because that defeats the purpose of having the sleeve.

I used to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening but for some reason alcohol makes me nauseated and some foods that I used to enjoy I have lost the taste for.

Hey Ya'll,

I went for my 4 week check up and since surgery, I have lost 21 lbs--so happy!
My blood work showed that levels were fine except for Vitamin D--very low so I am now taking Vitamin D everyday. I have been having weakness in my legs and ankles and this has kept me from exercising. I'm hoping this was due to the Vitamin D deficiency and I can start walking everyday.
Thanks to all who post, I have learned a wealth of information from this site.
xoxo
