I love salad! I am only a month out, I know I can't now. Just wondering Has anyone been able to eat salad

Hi- my name is Robin, I had the sleeve done 2 wks ago with Dr Schramm in Ypsi. Feel pretty good, still having difficulty with protein in general. Gas X does help with the gas issues. Sip Sip Sip is the best advise good luck, i have my 2 wk appt on Apri 26 robin

I'm thinking of you, sorry your going through this. keep me posted, you know I'm up late if you want to talk take care, get better xoxoxo robin

congrats, I was wondering how the card would work so its been about 7 wks for you how much have you lost and when did you feel normal I just had surgery on April 12 thanks robin

surgery was tues April 12 have good and bad days. i'm sure like everyone else. I have not done well with the liquids and Protein drinks, still have some pain, but mostly discomfort from the gases i agree call the dr in the am, low grade fevers usually mean you are trying to fight something keep us posted, we'll be thinking of you good luck robin

you look awesome, hopefully that can be all of us soon congrats

i am 6 days out from surgery, dispise the Protein powders, but still trying feeling more OK each day but totally excited to include pureed never thought i'd say that in my life time anyone else ps we are not taking an easy way out this is already one of the most difficult challenges i've taken on signing off, maybe i can sleep soon robin aka ireland

congrats, very proud of you!!!!!!!

thanks for posting, just had surgery 4 days ago. not feeling great right now, but can see from you it gets better. how did you feel right after surgery? when did you feel normal or feel ok? thanks again robin

I can totally relate, I am also 4 days out. did expect to feel different now, still very uncomfortable I walk alot, sleep and take showers (for some reason I feel this helps) keep me posted, I just keep thinking it will get better!!!! robin aka ireland

not able to handle full liquid, Protein and feeling like crap still when did everyone feel normal of at least better???? did not think it would be like this, (had 2 c-sec, lap gallbladder and hysterectomy) thought i knew what i was in for. yeah not really!!!! thanx

I have a similar situation, but I do have hypertension and crohns disease. Wasn't sure if I would qualify, surgery scheduled for April 12. I did not qualify for lap band or RNY. I don;'t believe this is drastic, when you have tried everything before desciding on this, good luck robin

thanks for your imput, i appreciate it robin

I'm soooo glad you shared this! My surgery is April 12. Not having second thoughts, but don't want to hear any negatives and that statement "its the easy way out" bugs the crap out of me! thanks for posting a positive

how long was everyone off of work after surgery? how soon did you feel somewhat normal let me know thanks

ditto, this forum is extremely helpful robin

I actually run an obgyn office. This is a great option for woman who have not had children. My patients love this product. I have not had anyone have any bad side effects. Ask your physician regarding Implanon and sleeve I'm not sure if there is any contraindications. I will ask my Docs at the office and let you know. robin aka ireland

looking to get help with protein drinks and bars can anyone direct me to a good tasting drink and bar trying to get situated before surgery thanx for any help robin

I'm glad you feel normal!!!!! How long did you take off from work for the surg. how did you feel post op. i have surgery scheduled for April 12. I have planned to be off for about 2 weeks. Your post is encouraging any suggestion or advice? thanx
