wish I had advice for you but hope you feel better soon!

Yeah!!!! Congratulations.

Do you think it was just one bite to many? Or maybe you sleeve doesnt like the fish right now. I have been scared to death to vomit even though I know that it wont be as bad as in the past...just not enough in there. But so far (3 weeks out) no vomitting. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for starting this thread because I am technically in the stage but I have been afraid to eat. My Nut just kept saying eat moist protien. She said tuna, salmon, chicken all moistend with gravy or soup or light mayo. I have had a few bites of scrabled egg beaters, egg whites scrambled, tuna with light mayo, applesauce, and a little turkey on christmas day but I am a bit scared of much more... Cant wait to put a half a bannana in my protein shake. Any one know when I can do that?

I got a sore throat two days before my surgery, I prayed and prayed I wouldnt get sick and even though it hurt a little the day of surgery I was absolutely fine. I think it was also allergy related but I know how you felt I was so afraid that they would call off the surgery after all that I had done to prepare for it. So glad you are well and pray you have a speedy recovery.

You really do look great. I think for many of us doctors have been some what of an enemy in the past. Must be nice to have a doctor on your side. You should be proud.

I hear you on the no sleep thing. I had a sweet old lady as a room mate at the hospital and she wanted to talk to me ALL night long. I hope you are able to get a little rest tonight and you'll be home to rest tomorrow. Congratulations, now just take good care of yourself and you can sit back and watch the scale drop.

Prayed for you today. Hopefully you will be home soon and on your way to a new you!

sorry I posted to the wrong place

Also told to stay away from coconut.

Happy Birthday! You are such a blessing to so many on this web site. I pray your next year will be full of blessings.

Wow, that was a long surgery. Hope you are feeling fine. Keep us posted and I am saying a little prayer that everything turns out ok.

Congrats on your date. Good Luck to you.

You have done so well! You look so happy in the after! Can't wait for the next update.

My paper work says coffee is ok right after surgery as long as it is caff free. I havent tried any yet but maybe soon.

Mini Me- You are less than a year out and you have lost SO much weight! You should be so proud of yourself! I am just getting started but I am sure that you will just suddenly have a big loss. Don't let those old demons torment you. You have had so many victories! Maybe this is just a chance to concentrate on how far you have come. Maybe you should dig out some old photos! Anyway, I know this will turn around quickly. Merry Christmas.

Great Job!!! Can you even remeber a time where you lost weight like that? After all this time of trying everything under the sun to lose weight! And this time it is gone for good!

Wonerful!!!! You have done SO WELL. Yeah, I agree with Julia share some tips!!

I am 8 days out too and I have had times when I thought what have I done (mostly while preparing food for my kids). I have not sailed through the recovery either and I am so tired but can't sleep. I feel like I am not getting better and I am going to be weak forever. My husband says he can tell I am getting better each day. I just feel like it is taking forever! I am sorry you are having such a bad day. I keep telling my self the FAT HURTS (not just physically) but SKINNY FEELS SO GOOD. Hope tomorrow is a great day for you! Let us know how your work day goes.

How much Protein did you really get "in" during the first few weeks? I am just getting in around 50 and it is HARD. One week and one day out. I feel like I am failing and am going to loose all my hair or muscle. I have lost 12 pounds since surgery. I am not feeling dehydrated and although I will spend HOURS trying to drink a Protein shake I can drink Water and crystal light a lot faster. I dont mind the flavor protein I have (finally found one I like) it is just that my stomach feels to full or I get sick to my stomach and feel like if I take one more sip I may throw up. Advice Please.

Sorry I know how hard it is to wait and it felt like forever for me too. It took almost a year for me to find the right surgeon and complete all his requirments and then I was so mad I had to weight several months after all that for a date. It will happen dont give up!

Sounds like you have some major obstacles in the way but in the end you made it thorough and you will be so much better for it all! Congrats on your weight loss. Thank you for sharing your story with everyone. God Bless you.

ugh! I know that is not what you wanted but you will get your surgery when the time is right, Hang in there.

Yeap praying for you and will think of you tomorrow. Also praying for your surgeon.
