Welcome to the forum! Sounds like your daughter has done very well with the surgery and I bet you will too! Let us know how it is going. Telisa

Wow! Sounds like it was a good thing they caught that. Good luck and let us know when you get to have your sleeve surgery!

Never is a long time. I hate to be told I can't have something. Honestly, you can have any of these things after you have been sleeved for awhile. The carbonation is difficult for my new tummy but I still occasionally enjoy a mixed drink with soda. I can't drink it very quickly and it goes straight to my head but it is nice on rare occasions and my tummy will tolerate it. Sugar can make me feel a little yucky and I have learned I don't care for sweet stuff as much as I used to. Still, I do have some from time to time. I have a cup or two of coffee in the morning and it does just fine. I don't have high blood pressure and so I don't worry about too much salt, either. All of that said, I think it is important to stay diligent about losing the weight, especially in the first year. It gets more and more difficult to lose the weight as your size goes down and if you start figuring out how to "eat around" your sleeve. Be careful not to do much snacking and use common sense when it comes to sugary and high calorie foods and you will do ok.

Wow, poor thing! I feel for you and hope you get to go home to be with your kids soon. Get better and thank you for keeping us updated. I am less than a week out and it is good to hear your story because it makes me keep better tabs on my own body and what it is doing. I hope everything resolves quickly for you and you are home snuggling those babies very, very soon! ((hugs))

I got sleeved on Monday (1/24) and it all sounds just like what I am going through... must be normal. Congratulations and good luck!

Hang in there, I was sleeved on the 24th too and the first couple of days were really more than I bargained for. Today is day 4 and I am finally starting to feel like myself again. I couldn't keep anything down but ice chips at first either but today I can drink milk, broth and everything. Just keep trying and I promise, it will get better

I got sleeved on the 24th and I am starting to feel somewhat normal again, finally. That first couple of days was a little rough but I feel pretty good by now. Hang in there and you will start feeling better in a day or two. I still have the tummy rumbles and hear they will be around for awhile. Take care of yourself! Telisa
