There are many reasons why. First, this is a huge and life changing surgery. The system works only if you do. The insurance companies want to make sure that their "investment" in you and your well...
Lipton makes a decaf powdered iced tea. It's a tea and honey mix. The kind I love is called Half & Half berry lemonade/iced tea. The flavor is great, is only 5 calories a glass and it comes in...
Hello! I have been sleeved about 5 months now! I moved to Colorado(Castle Rock) about 1 year ago and have not met anyone yet :(. I have a lack of a support base. I have only told 1 friend from...
Hi there! Congrats on your weight loss! Feel and happy and proud! I just want to say, that I had about a 3 week stall, about my 3rd week post op. I read the forums and panicked..just as I imagine...
I understand...unfortunately it has happened to me. I am 31 years old and some of my other obese friends have begun to act strangely towards me. I am 5 months post-op and 50 lbs lighter. We have been...
The only treat I really allow myself is popcorn...I pop the 100 calorie smart pop bags. They are fantastic, but in feel like I could eat a much bigger bag, popcorn dissolves in my stomach...
Thanks for all the suggestions. Is everyone taking 500 mg 3 times daily?
Does anyone know where to buy calcium citrate chews? My physician and NUT both have told me that using regular calcium carbonate does not work for sleepers due to us having low acid in the stomach....
Yup it's normal. I was stalled for about 3 weeks only 5 days after my surgery. It is super frustrating and upsetting, but I think each one of us goes through it. The scal WILL move again. Lol.
The fist few days after my surgery I found thinner liquids hard. I found a slightly thicker shake, milk or drinkable yogurt to be better. Also gummi vitamins were also the easiest for me to handle....
Idk if you will be allowed ground beef, but I have been cooking lean ground beef, draining the fat after and adding taco seasoning and a can of refried beans. Top it with some low fat shredded...
The shakes bothered me too. I did however start putting a scoop of vanilla protien powder into my yogurt and mix it in really well. It tastes super yummy. If the yogurt is too think, you can add a...
Yay! Congrats!
800 for sure. I know that everyone is different, but I have a girlfriend who is 1 year post-op. she lost 116 lbs in 7 months. She was on a 800-1000 cal per day regime. When she went to maintain her...

Well..I was a bit opposite than you. I had no problems with weight growing up or dating, but I got married to young, had a accident, then a knee surgery, a broken patella then another surgery. Then...
Yup...I couldn't burp well until at least a week post-op. the gas was so painful...it was everywhere and causes me so much insomnia. I'm at 3 1/2 weeks post-op and I burp a lot now..haha

Congrats. On looking Fab!

Lol..I'm a huge fan of this Greek yogurt by Dannon. It's called light and fit. It comes in many flavors. It already has 12g of protein, 80 calories, and 7 grams of sugar. If you add a scoop of...
