    2nd balloon...

    I had the balloon and did wonderful, .....until they took it out....and started gaining I then opted for the sleeve before I gained all of my weight back. I have done absolutely wonderful with the sleeve. I truly believe the balloon prepared me to be successful with the sleeve. No problems getting fluids, protein drinks or food. But you do have to go by the golden rules......chew until you cant chew anymore...don't be in a rush when you eat or drink. Slow and steady. I am also doing the vitamin patches I am anxious to get my blood work done to see how they are working. Has anyone else done the vitamin patches?
  3. I was the girl who almost got up and walked out of the hospital before having it done.....I am so so happy I did not do that! I sooooo agree with you. I am only 3 weeks out but feel the exact same way, but am sooooo blessed this has been tooo easy for me, no nausea, no problem getting protein in, no feeling toooo full, bm's are normal. The only thing I struggle with is wanting to eat salsa and getting a little spice in my diet. I have ordered the vitamin patches and am looking forward to starting them...If any one has any advise pros and cons on the vita patches I would love to hear.
  4. What are people eating 21 days out? It seems I am pretty tolerant, however I am being very cautious of chewing extremely well. I am doing mostly soft foods. What I am wondering about is it ok to eat foods that are a little spicy, even if I blend them, or do I need to stick to more bland foods, and if so when can I start with a spicier food? (sorry for the sentence that seems to go on and on and on!)
  5. Did they say why he had a high heart rate
