That really suck for you guys. I havent had one tme I felt like throwing up...thanks goodness, I hate that. I would call the doc for sure, there has to be something they can suggest. Best of luck to you...hopefully it is just a phase for you.

Yes, what is bothering you? I was home one day after surgery and I was just tired, no gas, no real pain. I sipped my water, took my liquid vicodin ( might as well not feel any pain right?) and walked the house and slept alot.

Yay! Welcome to the losers bench! Best of luck on your recovery! I am glad you are doing well, keep us posted on your journey!

I am 7 weeks out and have had a small gain too, I was horrified but I remembered reading on here about it. I have been really stepping it up at the gym and I havent been getting enough fluids ( working on that) My weight is back down where it was so I feel better. Thanks to everyone here for posting their experiences, you are really helping all us newbies to this and we appreciate all your help.

I will be two months out next Friday...down 45 as of today, 30 since surgery. You should update your weight loss, it only says 33 down since surgery, dont want to cheat yourself with your awesome weight loss...I am jealous! Keep up the good work!

Yay! I am glad you are doing well. I was the same, I was only tired the first week, after that I was ready to go! For everyone waiting to get their sleeves, dont be afraid, it will be a challenge but a good one. Everyone is a bit different, maybe not have as easy a time as some of us but it does get better...soon! I think if you have a positive attitude it works wonders. This is a life changing surgery, there will be ups and downs, happy and sad times but the end result will be amazing! Best of luck to the sleevers coming up!

I havent had bread but I have had the bimbo toasted bread, at about 3 weeks out, and it is yummy. I put egg salad or chicken salad on it...very good.

Thanks so much, I love reading your posts, you have helped me tremendously!

I am sooo excited for you! Trust me, you wont be worrying about putting on makeup etc...you will be too tired. I only brought a large tee, undies and a large pair of pj pants and some socks. I had my phone charger, gas-x, a band to put my hair up and chapstick ( didnt need gas-x by the way) I may be a bit different cause I was only 30 minutes away from my house but trust me , you wont be needing much. Keep us posted on your recovery and prayers your way!

Yay! Best of luck to you, keep us posted!

Yay! We are all doing great so far...good to hear that! Keep up the good work everyone!

Your doc should have gone over your meds with you and have them either converted to liquid or have them dissolved in a spoon of water if possible. Sometimes they have you discontinue them for the two weeks and start up again after your first post op visit. I only had blood press meds and I was able to dissolve and swallow. Tasted nasty but it was only for two weeks.

I am so sorry you are having so many issues. Hang in there, it will get better. Dont hesistate to call your Dr or go to the E.R. if needed. Prayers your way!

Glad you are doing well! Hopefully you can go home soon! Keep us posted on your recovery.

No, I have had all kinds of vegies, prepared all different ways and no issues. I have tried tons of different foods and not one has been a problem. All you can do is try it again in a week or so and see if it is actually the onions. Good luck!

Congrats to you...great job!

Yay! So excited for you! Keep us posted on the recovery!

Yaaaay! Happy day! I am so happy for you...congrats!

You are doing great...keep up the good work ! It is hard to get the fluids in but it does get easier.

Are you working out? If so, you are building muscle and losing fat and muscle weighs more. I was thinking the same thing till I started taking measurements and realized I am losing inches. Give it a try.

I have had corn several times but no coconut yet. I would call the Dr and ask for sure, good luck!

I would say no. It says dry toast or crackers. I personally am almost 7 weeks out and have had very little carbs at all, maybe a bite or two of potatoes and maybe a piece of toast. I made tacos for the family the other day and made myself a tortilla-less taco, 2 spoons of refried beans, spoon of taco meat, and cheese, tomatoes and onion, it was soooo good, I didnt miss the tortilla at all and I used to make the yummy fried ones! I never have room for any carbs anyway after eating my protein and vegies.

I hit 210 today...woo hoo! I am so excited to be so close to onederland, I can wait!!! I am down 30 lbs since surgery (Feb 9th) and 45 since the first of the year. I am down two pants sizes and to xl shirts...no more plus sizes! I just wanted to thank everyone in this forum for all your posts, they have helped me tremendously!

Thanks everyone! Congrats to you all as well, I see we are all rockin our sleeves!

Sounds like you need to sit down and have a family meeting. There is no excuse for the step daughter to throw food at you and I cant believe the husband didnt handle that situation. I have two stepdaughters and they have never disrespected me, my husband would have blown his top. There is no reason you cant have a normal dinner out just because you cant eat as much and as fast. We go out all the time and I have no problems at all. It does help that my 10 year old step daughter eats super slow so we kinda stick together...lol! Best of luck, get that meeting scheduled and set some rules in place.
