My taste and smell are wayyyyyy off. I crave things now I never would have wanted before and some of my favorite things taste like crap!
I am one of the unlucky ones who is experiencing some pretty profound hair loss. Can anyone share how long this lasted for them and how bad it got? Yikes!
I know I sound kinda whiny, but at 4 months out I've lost 55 pounds. I feel like that isn't good enough, though I know it's probably not bad at all. Now that I can eat a bit more, I worry all the...
Hi All..
I was just wondering (approximately) how much food everyone is/was eating at this point. Curious is all..
I hit my first stall at 2-3 weeks, and just broke my 6-7 week stall today. I'm thinking it must be normal, but I was pretty discouraged, too. Hang in there..you're doing great!
They make it at Dairy Queen and will add the protein boost if you ask them to.
This may be regional, but if you have a DQ/Orange Julius in your area you have to try the Orange Julius with the protein boost added to it. It's so unbelievably good! No protein taste...
I had a cough and they postponed mine by 2 weeks. I'm glad they did...I still had a tiny bit of residual coughing even after the delay and it wasn't much fun.
I'm having the same issues. Too much water gags me and I can't do artificial sweeteners at all. I'm just experimenting with whatever I come across that looks good but so far it's Gatorade, water...
It's definitely a learning process. I have a hard time determining full from stuck from gassy. I've thrown up a couple times from either eating too fast or the food was too dense, dry, etc. I am...
I tried this tonight..DELICIOUS!
1- 10 oz box frozen spinach, thawed and drained
16 oz cottage cheese
6 oz shredded cheddar
4 or 5 sliced medium to large mushrooms
3 eggs
2 tbs butter (I'm...
I am almost 2 weeks out. I am doing liquid with some puree. I feel like I'm eating too much at a time and I'm gonna end up stretching out my pouch. It's like an obsession. I remember them saying...
I was sleeved the same day as you and I must admit I have sorta moved on. I ate some pintos & cheese yesterday and it went down great in small bites. I tried a really smashed up scrambled egg...
Opinions, anyone?
Strained cream soups, pureed vegetable soup..
Wow....my poor family. I am just pure poison today. No one can do or say much of anything right. I hate feeling this way. Did anyone else go through this?
I have never been able to handle artificially sweetened drinks or foods. I get nauseous and can't choke them down. I was hoping that would change after surgery, but I am a few days out and still...
I just got home from the hospital last night after being sleeved on Thursday. I have/had all those fears, too. Right now I feel great with just a little soreness and I'm excited to begin my new way...
My surgery is 1/30, also. I have lost 10 pounds and think the worst cheat I have done is a little extra meat during a few of my dinners. My pre-op diet is 3 shakes a day with a sensible dinner. I,...
Just curious...
How long did you stay off before returning to work after your sleeve? I am a receptionist in a medical office, so I'm thinking as long as I don't try to lift charts, etc, I should...
I know I'm lucky I can eat. Sorry, Jen, but it will be worth it. And teddtlove, funny you mention that. I bought a new brand of shake today and the situation went from bad to worse. I was so...
:eek:
I ended up having to reschedule my surgery from the 16th to the 30th because, just my luck, I had bronchitis. So I'm on week 3 of the pre-surgical diet and my stomach has had enough. I...
I'm getting ready to start my diet. I'm wondering why some have to do liquid and some don't? Surgeon's preference, I guess. ???
How did everyone come to the number for their goal weight? I...
Thank You for the great welcome!
It's been a while, but I finally got my date! January 16th, 2014! WooHoo!
Hi There..
My name is Cindy. I'm in the process of getting all my ducks in a row for surgery. I'm thinking maybe September. I'm anxious to read and learn all I can from here!
Thanks!:D
