Well if you aren't the busy bee. Sounds like you could use a rest. Enjoy your evening and congratulations on your emancipation! You'll be sore but I'll be worth it, been there, done that was as happy about the hysterectomy as I am about WLS they both served a greater purpose.

Hi Bethlyn. I chose the sleeve only because it allows me to take NSAIDs instead of narcotics for pain control. I have osteoarthritis in my left shoulder and trouble with narcotics in general I'm allergic to most. I like the sleeve I've finally gotten the eating process down I won't have the...

You should be able to eat fish now and chicken too. Don't think that spicy food will upset your tummy, it didn't mine and I haven't heard about that being a problem. Highly acidic foods will irritate the tender tummy. You might try Wendy's chili it is high in protein and fiber I have a small...

Gosh Cheyenne I hope you are feeling better now than when you last posted. You are so strong and have such a positive attitude I'm sure you'll be able to handle the hysterectomy too. You will feel so much better once that's over too. Just think no more periods, no more mood swings. Guess what...

Now you will have your own celebration for Cinco de Mayo! Enjoy your weekend because on Monday you will move to the other side of a wonderfully healthy and happy life. Best wishes to you, your surgeon and team, and a speedy recovery.

Hi StinkerBelle I am so proud of how well you are doing. I'm curious to know why you say Bethlyn70 is spamming. Why would someone want to spam what would be their motivation? I want to know this so I can be more observant in the future and understand why this happens.

Hi Rusel. Sorry you are having problems. Your protein intake is perfect, are you getting enough fluids? Any fluid that is caffeine free and not carbonated counts towards the 60 oz that you need. I bet you are doing well with your fluid intake too Now you are introducing foods. Choose one...

Hi Karenina, I'd love that. I bought quinoa and tried it once boiled in lo fat chicken broth, liked it, but haven't had it since my surgery 12/02/13. I really don't know what to do with it, I hadn't checked out the carbs.....yikes 31 Carbs for only 3 grams Fiber? You're right forget quinoa. I...

Thank you Cal, I just bookmarked the website you recommended. I'm trying to get the most fiber for the least amount I can. I just found out that artichokes pack 10 grams! of fiber into one large choke and is only 70 calories dipped into a good Balsamic vinegar they are delicious and...

Wow you all are great. First off you are all so helpful. Thanks Ralph I did get my greater than an less than symbols backwards. I have been able to get more than enough protein in each day for a long time but I do have and like Isopure Grape. I can't stand whey protein. Protein is my first...

I'm now monitoring my Carbs along with the Calories, Protein, and Fiber that I've journaled for the past 12weeks post op. I'm trying to get the recommended 25 grams Fiber, >1000 Calories, >60 grams Carbs, and <60 grams Protein everyday. This has proven to be a big challenge for me so I'm...

I love funny. What are you girls talking about?

Hi Erica You have already started. Think of it as attending a networking get together and you are strolling through the room picking up on different conversations. You can comment on a conversation, start your own conversation (as you have already), and give information, support, or...

Wow, that's awesome, Ralph. Well I guess it's all just a matter of whether one wants to take a few more pills every day or not. It's a harder choice than it used to be, but at least there are choices. Kt

Hi Sweetpea! Welcome to the forum. So far you have received excellent advice from gastric bypass people. Much of the same advice is useful for the gastric sleeve as well. The sleeve has actually been around for a long time but was used as a two part operation for severely morbidly obese people...

How do you rip a muscle? It sounds terrible.
