Hello everyone. I had my surgery (sleeve) on Wednesday 11/14 and I’m a total wuss when it comes to pain and discomfort and am regretting it so bad right now. It hurts to drink anything. I’m nauseous. I don’t mind the stomach soreness much (just feel like I did a bunch of ab crunches). I’m supposed to be drinking my protein shakes but I’m scared to even try lol sucking on the popsicles give me cramps and I know this will “pass” but I keep thinking, what if it doesn’t. I feel stupid for typing this :(

Note to self: Remember, "You're sitting in the suck right now!"

In the beginning I would get a big cup of ice and slowly sip it as it melted. This way I didn't cramp or take sips bigger than my swollen stomach could handle. It gets much better after the first week and then each week afterward.

Yeah, there are some things that we will learn the hard way, unfortunately.

I had surgery 10/22. I used to drink the Vitamin water zero, but now find them too sweet. Unsweetened applesauce is my sweetness limit so far. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm the 12th! So excited!!!

Oldie but goodie, read carefully Google terms you don't understand http://www.pnas.org/content/94/26/14930.short

I have been lucky. I was sleeved on the 8th. I am lucky and so far like or can tolerate everything i am drinking. However as wierd as it sounds the only protein shake that taste wierd to me.. is the chocolate one LOL.. Of all of the flavors i am drinking the chocolate is the worst, cookies and cream is second worst. I am hoping i did not lose my love for chocolate LOL.

My hubs tells me how great I'm looking, his family does too since they saw me the first time since surgery around Halloween. But, I feel flabby. But it's all about perspective.

My Boy friend and I are doing a couples sleeve together on December 12th In Tiajauna Mexico we are also self pay. I honestly think I am dreading the pre op diet more than anything....but the thought of being slimmer and healthier this time next year I know will make it all worth it. Best wishes to you all.
