Topic: RE: Leaks.... further out than we thought??? Scary....
I'm skeptical... I know anatomy, I know a leak, I know GERD!

I know people self diagnosing!

I've heard of a staple line rupturing because of a car accident! That's why they gained their weight back! Yup! That's what was said! And yes they did!

Yes, I've live the life of a leaky sleeve survivor and yes I have over eaten my sleeve by times and no, it didn't cause a leak again.. I think something else has caused this! But, I ain't no doctor to diagnose!

Topic: RE: Missing bread, my version! ..and Ooopsie Rolls

And the Oooppsie Roll that everyone talks about across the boards! Recipe below!

 

Ooppsie bread!! ...No flour..

 

Oopsie Rolls (Gluten-Free Buns)

3 large eggs
pinch of cream of tartar (1/8 tsp)
3 ounces cream cheese (Do not soften)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Separate the eggs and add cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you’re using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store in a loosely open sack and allow to rest on the counter before use (otherwise they might be too moist). Can be frozen.

Topic: RE: I may be wrong, but.....

Free range, grass fed, ect... Isn't that organic? Or, do they use friendly pesticides on  the grass and grains? I'm all new to this and learning ! Don't wanna sound like a biotch

Topic: RE: I may be wrong, but.....

With all the protein we eat. And we are eating chemically fed animals... Aka growing hormones... Won't this make us grow/fatter? 

 

Just a thought in my head! Have gone some what organically with my foods.

Topic: RE: What size bougie was used on you?

In having a bigger sleeve, I got everything they said may not happen! The key was not to over eat/ mindless eating from day one... With a 42f sleeve and almost 5 years out. To be fair, I can do 4oz of dense protein with nothing else.  I like to add ruffage to my meal, so 2ozs of dense protein.

Topic: RE: Can I stretch my sleeve at day 6 out from surgery?

At six days out you wouldn't stretch it, you would rip open if you over stuffed it. The suture line! But, liquids go down pretty easy over a period of time!
