She should try premier protein shakes. They only have 1gram of sugar. You can buy them from Walmart or Sams.

Thank you for your response

Thank you for responding to me! I will keep an eye on it and pray that the temporary rise goes away soon so I can stop this med.

I'm 5 months post op and had bloodwork done yesterday. This morning, I got an email from my primary doctor that my cholesterol is high. So she put me on 10 mg of Simvastatin. I'm feeling kinda down...

Thank you tina833. We can do this, lol! My problem is that I keep comparing myself to others on the forum and I have to get it in my "thick" head that everyone is unique and different. I'm going...

Thank you ndronet for responding. You make sense with what you said. Thank you soooo much!

I'm not complaining BUT I'm averaging losing about 1 pound a week. I feel that this is slow weightloss: I was hoping at this stage to lose about 2 lbs per week. I have lost 45 pounds since my start...

I had fatty liver disease when I had surgery. I had surgery on 3/17 of this year and have lost 42 pounds so far. I no longer have a fatty liver thank you Jesus! My bloodwork no longer shows any...

Thank you all soooo much for your replies! This advice helps more than you know!

Need advice from seasoned sleevers on this one: I am about 6 1/2 weeks post op and was moved to start solids. So I tried fish, a small small amount of baked tilapia and about 4 broccoli florets that...

Thanks to everyone for your responses! You all are the best and I thank Jesus for you!

Thank you for your response

I have been a slow loser (weight loss wise) it seems like all my life! I am still skeptical if the sleeve will be as successful for me and it is for so many on this forum. So I had my surgery on...

Zacharymom,
I feel the EXACT same way you do. I was sleeved around the same time as you (March 17). I had a stall around 3 1/2 weeks and got a little discouraged. After about 1 week, I finally...

I'm a praying person and I just said a prayer for you. I had to get a cardiac clearance before my surgery too. You'll be fine and trust God to work it out.

I'm 3 weeks post op and what I do is sometimes drink a Premier shake and other times i'll rotate and make my own using Jay Rabb's whey protein powder. It's not bad. I mix it with unsweetened Silk Soy...

You will do just fine. I just recently had sleeve surgery myself. I was terrified during the weeks leading up to my surgery date. Everything (praise God) went fine. Remember to walk, walk, walk...

I am praying for you! I just had my sleeve surgery on March 17th and i'm doing ok. Still sore from the incisions but thank God; nothing major at all! I was so nervous the days and day leading up...

We have the same surgery date! I'm nervous too and excited! Blessings to you.

I am right there with you. I am having surgery on Thursday! I've always been "one of those" that is always hard to lose weight so I have the same concern as you do that maybe after all of this ... I...

Thanks Sandra!

Thank you both for your responses. My doctor said that they typically won't write a patient to have more than 2 weeks off.

I just got my surgery date (3/17/15) and was wondering about the average time needed to be off work. I currently work from home as a Project Manager. In speaking with the surgery coordinator - she...

I'm so happy for you and that everything is working out. I just got a verbal approved yesterday. Waiting for the official letter then the doctor will schedule my surgery date. Your story was...

Thank you Beth!
