Congrats!!!! I know how good that feels. I am celebrating today too - after a long time in the 170s I finally hit 169 this morning!! I am 7 lbs away from losing 100 total and have never felt better!!...

Try the clear isopure protein and sip it all day long. It is really good for you and 40 grams of protein no preservatives low sodium and light tasting. It has been my staple since my surgery And I am...

Thanks for this thread! I have been using BSN dessert protein powder Vanilla in fruit smoothies and choc. fudge in my protein brownies which I got the recipe off this site.

The Vitamin Shoppe carries it too and they offer points for every sale that you then get a in store credit at the end of the year - it is adding upi for me since I get all my vitamins there too....

I had problems with the thicker shakes so I am 13 weeks out and still drinking the clear Isopure - hardly any after tast at all - the Grape Frost is the best I think. There are lots of suggestions on...

HI where did you find BSN dessert protein?

HI All, I have been away for the posts awhile but love reading the posts! I am 12 weeks out and still eat very small portions but eat about 6 times a day at least during the work week. At home on...

watch those Special K ones - I think they are really loaded with sugar? My surgeon and dietician said no to those!

These recipes are great thanks!!! I was just saying in another thread the thing that has saved me is the Isopure Liquid clear protein in glass bottles - Grape Frost is my fav. flavor and I now crave...

I agree - keep the protein flowing before anything else. I find that the Isopure clear liquid is the easiest and as soon as I get that spacy or really tired feeling I starting sipping on that and it...

Thanks Diane - I was wondering how you got that coll ticker on your signature! I just made one! Bob sounds like you are doing great. I am in week 5 post op moving from pureed foods to soft foods so...

Hi - I agree with Diane , now that I am back to work full time and teaching ( I have to stand when I teach - I just can't sit and do it...) - I am carrying a cup of Isopure with me into the...

Congrats Tanya!! I am still finding it so much fun to get full on such small amounts of food. I am just over 3 weeks out and still have not been hungry at all. I love the fact that I now seem to be...

Best of luck!! The liquid protion of your new diet goes fast - really. I am on day 16 post and having fun introducing things (pureed of course still ) back in.

HI all, so it is day 10 for me and still going really well. Yesterday was my first big day of going in to my office and seeing people and driving a fair amount of the time and it all went really...

Hi - I agree with the group on this one - I think less than a week it would be really hard to back to that kind of physical labor - even standing that long on just liquids and then even trying to get...

HI all, I totally agree - a week after surgery and my five incisions are healing nicely and one is so small the nurse could not find it at first. I agree to listen to the expert and if he has done...

Hey Julie, wow that is very different from my experiences here is Southbay and West LA. They are all really big on the sleeve and it seems to me to be so less invasive than the bypass. Of course...

HI! I am feeling so great!! it is one week and I am so impressed with the education and help that Options offered. I read some of the issues on this site and realize that Kaiser is really preparing...

Hi Julie,
What Kaiser are you going to? I ask because I did my Options classes at Southbay and then was transferred to West LA for my surgery. All thru my classes and talking with the surgeons -...

Hi sorry - just now figuring out the thread thing. I was home is less than 24 hours and have been having an amazing recovery! Very little pain - no issues with drinking or feeling hungry or anything....

Hi Julie, I am doing great and tomorrow is one week. I am very impressed with the care and instructions I got from Kaiser. I haven't had any problems at all. Good luck and keep me posted on how...

Hi - I live in Long Beach and just had my op on Wed. 12-29. Great to see others from the area. I have been going thru the Options program at Kaiser. Has anyone else gotten theirs done at Kaiser?

Hi - I am Nancy and I just had my sleeve done on 12/29 and I am feeling great! I am so excited to be starting the new year this way! The posts on this site are helpful and I am glad to be a new...
