I did this pouch test from the 7th to the 12 of September and posted on here on the 14th. The carb craving was horrible. I was completely addicted and was a constant grazer. I had completely forgot...

I started on Sunday and finished on Thursday. Still doing good and watching carbs. Sure wish I knew how many a day were okay. Does anyone know how many carbs we should have a day?

Not chewing wasn't bad. That is only for 2 days. They have a fabulous recipe for carrot soup for the first 2 days. It has lots of cheese protein in it and one pot lasted me 3 days. After two days you...

Just type in 5 day pouch test.

I just finished the 5 day pouch test. I lost 5 pounds but man was it hard. I had become accustomed to my glass of wine a night and to grazing. Loved that bowl of potato chips I nibbled on throughout...

This is what my Doc and Nut recommended. Calcium Citrate 1000 mg with vitamin D. Chewable Multi to start with so they will be easier on your new tummy. Calcium citrate comes in chewables and I get it...

I have never had a problem with any food. I have quit losing now and I eat whatever I want to. I still need to lose 20 pounds but I am not ready to implement a DIET yet. Some people are bothered by...

Congratulations on making a decision. I too was insulted when a Doctor referred to me as obese. It was a reality check. The sleeve is the best decision I have made in a long long time. Nice to see...

Very glad you shared it. Thanks

Grace, definitely keep us posted. I will be praying that all goes well with this EGD. You say that this is the last test so they should know what is going on after this. I can understand you being...

Jerzeygirl, fur babies are very special. Here is a poem that I found very comforting when I lost mine. Losing one is a horrible loss. I feel for you in my heart.

I love going out to a restaurant. Especially Olive Garden. When the waiters come I tell them I am going to save them some trips and please bring to go boxes with my meal. I love eating gnocchi...

We have a wealth of information here on the forum. I also lurked for a while before posting. Many times I have a question and if I look through the blogs, quick links, or forum tabs I find the...

WOW....... All I can say is WOW!

Fabulous. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!

Fabulous protein powder is Syntrax nectar. It has many different flavors. I mix my Latte Cappuccino Syntrax with unsweetened chocolate soy milk. It has been my "nightcap" since I found it 9 months...

Who are you referring to? Who is recovering?

Terri is right. She scammed DR. Q for a free sleeve then DECIDED to trash him. Read all the posts carefully from the beginning.

Sounds to me like you are bound and determined to sabotage yourself. If that is what you want then carry on. You are doing a fine job. After all, you can always blame yourself for paying 14,000 for...

Well done. Congrats!
