congratualations on getting your date. The 2 weeks will fly by. I use unjury unlfavored as well. I drink a protein shake in the mornings mixed with milk and some blueberries. I also mix it with soup and oatmeal. It comes in numerous flavors and is a high quaility protein drink. The people...

congratulations. This is a great accomplishment. How did you lose 100 pounds in 2 months? I am 8 months post op and am still working toward this. What's your secret? Wishing you continued success.

Hi and Welcome, I am also a New Yorker. Where are you getting your surgery done? My surgeon works out of Lenox Hill as well Northern Westchester Hospital one day a week. Your insurance will proabably be the best indicator of how long you will have to wait and what they require. I first had...

Down 7 pounds this week. I should be happy, but this is day 9 of the flu. I am just starting to eat more than a few mouth fulls. I didn't eat a thing for 4 days. My fever was too high and all I could do is drink water, when I wasn't sleeping. I am very weak and will try some protein tonight...

I lost 7 pounds in December. This was my lowest monthly weight loss since my surgery. The last few weeks I go between 185-186. I am not eating any more then I did before. I still weigh everything that goes in my mouth. I am taking yoga once a week and plan on increasing to twice a week with...

My surgeon gave me referral to a gastro due to severe contipation since surgery. I went and he diagnoised me with IBS since the surgery. I always thought that IBS was the opposite of my problem. He spent a lot of time with me and basically told me constipation begets constipation. So my fear...

Hi I am a sleever as well. As with anything else we can tolerate different foods at different times. I am almost 7 months out and have not had any rice, pasta or bread. It was explained to me in the beginning that my new stomach needed to heal and that is why the restrictions on foods. I was...

That's great. Doing this with someone gives additional support. Hope to see you here often with your updates.

Today is your surgery. I will keep you in my thoughts. I use unjury unflavored for a number of reasons. I don't tolerate anything with artifical flavors which most of the pre mixed have. I keep some at work and home. A scoop is 21 grams of protein and I mix it with skim milk for breakfast...

The gifts are bought and wrapped. The cookies are baked (and I didn't even have one). Now is time to enjoy. My family will gather for Christmas Eve at my sister's house where we all exhange gifts and the kids put on a Christmas show. Italian tradition of 7 fishes will be served. I cook for...

Well I didn't want to talk about it, but who would know better then those you might have gone through it. Severe constipation since my surgery. At first I thought it was normal as I was eating so little and figured my intestines needed to wake up. I talked to doc who told me to take extra...

Karenina, So sorry to hear about your unexpected medical problem. I know you have been a source of support and encouragement to all. Well it is time to take care of yourself. I want to be as supportive to you as you have been to me. Anything you need just ask. Regarding WLS I agree with...

Welcome back. It sounds like you have had a successful WLS journey. So has anything happened lately that increased your eating? Are you still exercising the way you used to? Do you still track your food? You have not strayed very far and I think it's great that you are reaching out before...

I'm just asking. I have been pear shaped my whole life. Since the surgery, it appears this is changing. I am changing into an apple shape. Not totally, but it is obvious. Several people have commented including my daughter yesterday. She said "Mom what happened to your bottom"? I finally...

The only other thing that has not already been mentioned is the need for blood thinners after surgery. I knew someone who had her hip done and this was required for up to a year. Maybe it was just her doctor, but I remember her saying there was a risk of developing a blood clot. I don't want...

So glad you are okay with the car accident. Wow that must have been wild to go to the E.R. for one thing and finding out something wonderful. Congratulations on your growing family. I also had the sleeve and we do absorb everything we eat so no worries there. Hope your ob and surgeon will...

It has not stopped. This is not a diet so I wouldn't expect to lose every week. What everyone said about your protein and fluids. I have lost on average 1 1/2 pounds per week. Some weeks nothing at all. After 6 1/2 months I have come to realize this is what my body feels comfortable...

So I took my first yoga class in 10 years. I used to practice in my 20's and 40's. So my knees are not as good as they were back then. I had a great teacher who helped modify some positions. I am really looking forward to my next class. Felt some pain the next day in places that have not...
