I had three drinks last night and today all I can think of is eating. I love having drinks but I think it messes with my blood sugar and makes me want to binge. It did it before the sleeve and I see...

Congratulations DHB!!! That is so exciting! What does NSV stands for.

It IS quite an adjustment but it does get better and easier. You are doing great! I just kept reminding myself of the reason I did the surgery and focused on the goal not the food. This site has...

Best wishes pugtato! I think it's totally normal to be nervous. I sure was but it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life and I'm 63.

Best of luck to you! I have found this site to be so helpful. It's nice to know there are people to reach out to that have been where you are and have insight and valuable advice.

I thought it was a bit strange too. It doesn't make sense.

I went to 3rd grade in Shertz Texas and I still remember the enchiladas I had. I ordered them every time we went. The best ever!

That is so great! You look fabulous!!!

I'm a little more than 3 months out and have not had any trouble with any foods either. I mostly focus on getting 80g of protein and 64oz of water. Best of luck to you!

I just had my 3 month post op appointment and my doc said if I eat more than 80g of protein a day I would't lose weight. That doesn't seem to be the case for you. So many different approaches. ...

That's interesting DHB. That would lead me to believe that the stomach can and does stretch.

Thanks for the reply. Good to know you asked the doctor because it sure feels like that same full feeling I get from food it just doesn't last very long.

Is it possible to stretch your stomach with liquids? Sometime I'm guzzling my water to get to 64 oz. and I feel that too full pain that I think means I'm stretching my stomach. It passes fairly...

I don't know if this will help but due to swallowing problems, I have had to buy liquid vitamins except D. I decided to mix them in my 64oz of water each day. It spreads the consumption out...

I had a knee replacement 3 mos before my sleeve. After asking you the question about your protein intake, I went to my food log and checked mine. Not good. I'm 2 1/2 mos. post sleeve and I only...

Thanks Annie! Were you consuming 80g of protein a day during that time? I'm about 2 1/2 months in and don't have much hair to spare so I'm hoping to prevent it or at least try to minimize it.

Can you tell me how soon after surgery the hair loss started? Thanks, L.

My computer blocked that website with recipes Worldaccordingtoeggface.com. Tried it on my phone too and the same thing happened.

Tried that website and my computer blocked it as Unsafe. Tried it on my phone and it went to amazon the first time and a news site the second time.

I had trouble drinking also and was kept in the hospital for an additional day. I went home for a day and a half and ended up in the ER dehydrated and in need of IV hydration. You really have to...

Hi Jerzeygirl,

How much protein per day do the docs where you work recommend? Thanks, Loren

Thank you Ann! Having gone from 3,000-4,000 calories a day to 800-1,000, I thought it would just be melting off. I love your posts. Very inspiring! I am going to stop worrying about the scale. ...

Thank you Christie! I guess I just got discouraged to go that long with no results. I'm trying not to weigh too much. But I was worried I wasn't eating enough for the amount of my activity and...

Thanks Tinman! I will check out your page now. You are right! We are not on a diet. I guess I am just on a different food plan.

Thank you for your reply. I am good about making sure I get at least 60g of protein but most of the time 80g. I only eat protein(eggs,cottage cheese, low fat string cheese and chicken maybe once a...
