You can talk to people who have been through what you're going through, or people who are about to go through it, amazing, love it. Anyway, you're doing so great! Keep up the good work Savannah!
my nutritionist said that foamy thing your saying is called frothing lol
I was instantly freezing cold when I got home from surgery for like 4 days in a row. I was normally a very hot person
whoo hoo! Im so happy it's working for you!
Hey girl thanks for the shout out! Ilove keeping in touch with you and hearing your journey. Since out surgeries were so close I have some of the same challenges. Im so excited you've had such great loss. 50lbs! Woot woot! btw... Cheetos are the devils snack!!!
Where can you buy this tea?
NEW ORLEANS LADY VSG Fed Meyer/Krogers :)
Wow 50lb, that is amazing. I think it is great how your getting more active through out the day. I think that this is a great idea.
Kara Lantzy Thank you, I am certainly trying!
The struggle is real, my Dear! I might need to get some of this tea! Thanks fo the suggestion because I really had no idea :)
Mom & Me VSG Oh my goodness! I JUST watched and commented on your 10 week video and suggested this tea to you lol :D
LOL!!! Well..I guess that's a "sign". LOL

Your "yes" Cheetos face & your "no" Cheetos face made me LOL.....I am 8 weeks tomorrow. Had my surgery on June 23rd and I'm going through the SAME struggles... I feel your pain girlfriend
LessOfMe Rny Woo! You had surgery the day after me! How is everything going for you? Have you thought about vlogging your journey? I would love to tune in! :D lol cheetos do weird things to me... -_- hahahaha
wow you are looking amazing! Stick with the smooth move tea it will keep you moving :)
Marika on the Move Oh man, I drank some ther other night and then had a cup yesterday... Let's just say the back up is no longer! WOWZERS! that stuff worked great! lol
LOL... good to hear things are moving along ;)
Hello- Have you considered Torani Sugar Free syrups for your shakes? I know you're trying to get away from un-natural foods- they are sweetened with Splenda- but they make a Huge difference in taste. I've made some bad tasting protein powder purchases and they make them drinkable. Wow- almost 50- you're doing great! You're poop tracker comment cracked me up. I hope you're getting more regular- I know it's no bueno to not be.
Cartwheel Vsg Hello there! It's really not so much the taste that bothers me... My pouch just doesn't seem to like them in my tummy and I always end up getting nauseous. I do have a running script of zofran, but I'd rather not take it for the rest of my life just so I can drink a shake lol but as far as the aloha shakes go... I could try it in there! I'm still really nervous to even drink anymore because of the nausea though. Thanks so much for the idea :)
Way to go!! 50 is just on the horizon (get it?! hahaha)!! I've heard of people getting baby chips, like, chips for babies when they have that crunchy craving, they apparently basically melt in your mouth after a few crunches. I need to take tips from you, start parking further away from stores and all! You're doing so great!! Glad to see another video from ya!
sleevefortink lol you crack me up tink! Thank you :)
AWESOME job!! You have got to do side by side picture comparisons. They are the only way I see my progress. I'm 41 lbs down. Get pix!! Start now. LOL a poo tracker!! Do you take a magnesium citrate pill? You can up that and it will get things moving. LOL!!! You are cracking me up!! You could add artificial sweetener like sweet leaf stevia to your shake so that you can get away from the premier. Good job on the exercise! =)
Gina in Spades Hey, that's a good idea. I am not taking any sort of laxative or magnesium. I probably should be! Oh and I forgot about stevia! Glad I could get someone to laugh ^.^ Thank you thank you!
Congrats girl! I'm at the same point post-op and with the same weight loss! I see it sometimes and not others as well. So exciting and so hard to process at the same time. Woot!
45 lbs! Congratulations :-)
magnolia.26 vsg Thank you so much!
6 weeks...CRAZY!!!! You may be on a stall but your face and shoulders really look more narrow. Have you thought about setting a timer to remind you to eat? My surgery is in 2 days on Tuesday! It's coming fast and I'm so excited!! Oh and I am able to see your food diary on MFP even on the days you are under calorie goal so keep it up! ;)
Marika on the Move Oh gosh! Thank you for letting me know you can see that! I had wondered lol Thank you so much for pointing out some changes. It's always harder to see them in the mirror, so it's very nice when someone else can see :) I am so incredibly excited for you Marika! It came up so quick! You have been a total rockstar on your pre-op! WOO!!!
I know we are always our best worse critic. You are really looking great!
Great video. You and those sugar free popsicles, hahaha! I love it! Hey, hydration! My taste buds have changed too, I think. Spicy isn't so spicy to me anymore. I used to not be able to STAND it, ever!! But it's not so bad, I find :) Lol! Thanks for the update, girl!!
sleevefortink I know... Those popsicles make me feel so guilty, as you can clearly see in the video HAHAHA. But I spose it's better than my ice cream binges I used to have. Man, that stuff is the devil! lol Thanks for tuning in!
Horizon vV Yeah, I get it, but it's so much better than the alternative, like you said! And so much better than A LOT of other things!! It keeps you hydrated! Bright side :D !!! Aaaaand, it's much better than regular popsicles!! Also, it's included on the liquid diet!! And they didn't tell me any limit when I was on that, so it's not so bad, don't beat yourself up!
wow, you are really doing well. It's such a balance ugh but I think you are getting it in check!
Woohoo!! 39lbs...that's fantastic! You are doing great! The struggle is REAL, my friend! I guess it's just part of our "new normal". LOL
Congrats! On your success. Great video
NEW ORLEANS LADY VSG Thank you!
Whats you Myfitnesspal ID the email isn't working. Mine is Marikaonthemove or marikaonthemove@gmail.com.
Marika on the Move sgleason1219 is the ID name :)
found ya!~ or should I say you found me ;)
Congrats on your new little Joey!!!
Where did you have your surgery?? Your incisions look great!!
Sleevednanny Aw, Thank you! I went to Tijuana, Mexico through Mexico Bariatric Center. Dr. Cabrera was my surgeon and he was so amazing! I was star struck when I met him lol
Lol, that's cute!! Welcome Joey the sleeve!! Haha ;)
sleevefortink Hahaha! Yay! Have you named yours yet Tink?
Horizon vV Yeah, I named it Piper :D I usually name things after boys, but Piper is my favorite Charmed character, she's a beast!! Haha!
sleevefortink I always think of her when I hear the name Piper! Love it!
:D I have a not so small obsession with Charmed
Crossing your legs!!!! woo hoo! Now that has got to feel good!
woot woot..37lbs down! You go girl. ooo hows the patch working? I've considered patches but concerned about absorption.
Marika on the Move I won't know for sure until I go to my 3 month post-op check up with my Primary Care Doctor. But I can say that I do not feel lethargic in any way and I just over all feel great! Lots more energy! So, I think so far so good :)
Horizon vV This is encouraging! please keep up posted on how the patches are working for you.
I really liked the caramel flavored calcium citrate chews. Haven't tried the lemon, but I love lemon and may have to try them. The thing I'm finding now is that if something is sweetened w/artificial sugar, it leaves a bad after taste in my mouth. So I haven't taken them in a while. As far as cooking goes, eat it, then freeze it. I do that and then it's easy to grab things out of the freezer for work or those times I don't feel like cooking.
Mom & Me VSG Great idea on the freezing! And I really hope I can get these new calciums down. I'm really worried about it because I feel the same way with the artificial sweeteners. It's just SO sweet and it kind of turns my tummy! Fingers crossed and I so appreciate the support!
Food prep for sure. Have some grab and go things in you fridge like measured out chicken, ham or tuna, garbanzo beans, sugar snap peas. Whatever you surgeon says you can eat at this stage. Get in the habit now and it will make it easier down the road.
Marsha Wilson For sure! :) Thank you!
Great work breaking that stall! I can, seriously, not WAIT to have some avocado! I've been craving it like crazy!! haha! Maybe try meal prepping for a week? Then there won't technically be leftovers, they'll just be another day's meal. A couple different types of meat and veggies? I hope it works out for you!!
sleevefortink Good call on the food prep, I was actually just talking to my sister about that. Oh yes! I remember being right where you are, wanting avocado! I wonder why we crave it so bad? Hmm... Must be our bodies begging for some fat lol
Must be! I can not wait! I keep telling people my first "meal" for puree, refried beans and avocado with some cheese *drooling*!! Haha :)
sleevefortink I said the same thing! No joke! lol Unfortunately... Beans don't sit well in my pouch :( Sadness!
Horizon vV Oh nooooo! Man, I hope they sit well in mine :-0 Lol! We must be on the same wavelength :)

Great ideas, thanks for sharing. Are you allergic to gluten, by chance? That baby shower sounds like it was stocked with amazingness as far as food goes!! haha!
sleevefortink I do not have an allergy to gluten, but my oldest sister has celiac disease and her son (my nephew) was just diagnosed with a gluten allergy recently. So I promised both of them I would go gluten free for life after I had my surgery. That way there were not the only ones at family functions that were like, singled out and such. I'm doing it to support them plus gluten is bad anyway, so I figure I don't even need it! And yes! The baby shower had so much grub!!!
That's sweet of you, I dunno if I'd be strong enough to do that!
sleevefortink It's not as hard as I thought it would have been. After surgery we are supposed to avoid carbs and such... Most carbs have gluten. So I just stay away from it lol :)
I am so proud of you! You look like you are healing up well and you are looking good!
Thanks for sharing. The body shot is always hard but It will be so great to have it to look back on later.
Kara Lantzy I agree, Which is why I just sucked it up and did it anyway lol plus, who knows... Maybe people out there are doing research and want to see what the incisions look like as well ^.^
That is very true. Although I am not worried about the way the incisions will look after surgery, I know a person that is scared to have the surgery because of the scars. I think that is they realized how small they really are that she may go through with it.
You are doing great!!!!!! Have you tried any coffee yet? :)
Mom & Me VSG Have not yet tried coffee but had planned on doing so this morning after I got my breakfast in! I will for sure let you know how that works for me :) Thanks!
Mom & Me VSG I did try some atkins coffee protein shakes... and it most definitely helped! Thanks for the great tip!
I'm glad to hear it's better!
