Sleeved March 18, 2010

Whooo HOOOOoooo! :scared0:

So it was one week yesterday that I was sleeved and so far things are going along very smoothly.

Yesterday I started my all-liquid diet (vs clear liquids) and managed to get in a 30g protein shake. Yes, it took me all day but I got it down!

The thing I'm having the most difficulty with is swallowing my antibiotic. It tastes absolutely horrid! And because I can only take such small amounts of liquids in at a time (one small sip at a time), I'm struggling with this. I've learned to take a mouthful of something (not water), hold the liquid in my mouth, pop in the pill (broken into two), give my head a couple of quick shakes :sneaky2: (so my brain forgets where the pill is) and swallow. While it mostly works, sometimes it doesn't and one or both parts of the pill gets "stuck" in my throat. The taste! The taste! The taste! UGH! And then it's hard to take another quick swallow to wash it down. Before the sleeve I would have gulped 8 oz of water down and I can't! WAHHHH!!!

However, I figure if this is the worst I've had to face then I'm doing pretty darn good!
