Its over. Please don't try to rehash what is done. Thank You.

Thanks for the great options!

I'm dying here! Okay to take zyrtec?

I also used Its few years ago. I loved it and am considering going back to it.

They look delicious!

Yes, an alternative would have been great. That's why I use this board. Thanks!

I don't know. Its like this....sip, wait, ouch! Mine hurts just above my belly button. I told my MD about It at my 2 week check up. He recommended 1-2 more weeks of liquid. I wish it would go away. It makes me nervous about getting a leak. Hope you feel better soon.

Tiger Lily I was sleeved one day after you. You put into words exactly how I feel. I pray That one day soon we will feel better about all of this. My PCP gave me comfort with some of his advice. He said, "Megan you did the best thing for yourself that you could of. Though you don't have any other comorbidities at this time, they would come. And THAT would have shortened your life. You would have died at 50 or 60." This man has been my Dr since birth. He is overly cautious. I know he wouldn't have said that if he really didn't believe it. I also cryed to my bariatric surgeon. He Aldo assured me that this surgery has been around since the 60's. It is just recently that surgeons decided to see what would happen if they didn't convert it to RY. Low and behold it worked and they no longer had to put their patients through a second surgery. He assured me that I will live a long life. I hope this gives you comfort. I know how the anxiety and anger hurt. Message me anytime if you just want to talk. Xoxoxo

Yes, I am only 16 days out and I have no doubt that That plays a huge part in how I'm feeling right now

I am 16 days out. It still hurts if I take too big a gulp of anything. How will I ever be able to get food to go through there comfortably? Do any of you hurt If you accidentally take a big gulp of fluid?

And please make sure to check out the thread about depression after WLS. It can happen....

ELLIE you are very welcome. I wish that someone would have said that to me before surgery. All I got were the butterflys and rainbows about it! I think if someone would have mentioned to me that there may be some guilt or buyers remorse after choosing to remove a part of my body, I would have thought a little differently about it. It terrifies me knowing that for the rest of my life I am going to have to worry about side effects of taking out most of my stomach. But like I said, there is a flip side. How likely was I to develop Diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease if I had not had this surgery.....VERY LIKELY!!!! Which in turn would of led to a shortened life. I pray daily for the thousands of us sleevers that God keep us safe and free from harm after making this choice to alter our bodies.

Same her DoOver. I thought that a 1/2 of the lowfat cone would be a good option for me because I was having such a hard time getting my calories in. I am also still having pain when I drink so I thought it might be a bit soothing. I do regret the carmel, probably shouldn't have done that. However, I had two small bites of the carmel and could tell it wasn't for me. I did however eat 1/2 of the ice cream. It's not like I went out and ordered an XXL tripple topping boat of ice cream sundae . It was 1/2 of a lowfat vanilla cone. I have no regrets about eating it. And as I stated before, it's not one sundae that got me fat. Thanks for your understanding outlook on my post. You are why I love this site

As I type I am choking down my BariatricChoice vitamins. I don't think I can do another day of this. I am looking for a chewy gummy bearish sort of vitamin that is still high in quality. What do you use? And what have you found to be the most tolerable?

In all honesty, at this point, no. But let me explain. I am a total hypochondriac. I am not wracked with anxiety about the long run. I am angry at myself for taking such a drastic measure as taking out part of my body. But with that being said, I have no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have shed the 100+ pounds on my own. It saddens me that I did not have enough will power to do it on my own. But on the other hand I know that this surgery probably saved my life. Heart disease, diabetes, immobility did not appeal to me. I am a RN and see the effects of obesity daily. They scare me to death. Now ask me in 6 months and my anwer will likely have changed. I have heard nothing but praise about this procedure from patients and doctors. Good luck on your journey, and feel free to message me if you evern need to chant. xoxoxoxoxoxxlo

Congratulations and good luck!!!!!

To those of you that are offended by my question....if you don't like it, its simple.....just don't answer. I do not Have the time or desire to nit pick with you about a question. I'm done with that. We are all grown ups, and this is beyond ridiculous. For those that gave me an honest opinion without the superior attitude, I thank you. This is the second time in days That I have seen squabbles on this board. Oddly the other one included the same people. I'm here looking for advice. This is the first time I've had had this done. I am looking for sound advice (not put Downs) of others that have gone before me. I value those of You that Have been kind. I will continue to come to this board because they're are some really great and helpful individuals here. I refuse to get sucked in to childish computer bullying.

Me too!!!!!!!

I did get a post op guideline. It didn't mention smoothies though. I can't have peanut butter yet either.

Goodness people. Kelly thank You for your advice. I will have to try that a little bit later out. And Texas, I'm more than a week out. 15 days=2 weeks and 1 day. I hope they're not letting You teach children lol....

Gregin I did not come here to be chastised. I merely asked a question. I am struggling to get my calories in. I thought this might help me. I am not slipping back into old ways. And personally I didn't get fat from eating one sundae. So please, if you can't give me words of advise, don't respond to my posts. I come here for support, courage and strength. Not shame.

You can get melatonin at any vitamin or healthfood store.

Same problem here. I even took ativan tonight to try to get dome zzzzzz's. Apparently that isn't going to work either. I guess it'd back to melatonin for me too.

I am still on full liquids. Some of the protein Smoothies sound sooooo good. Are They Okay to have on full liquids?

I was told it is the iron and Calcium that cancel each other out....geez who knows!!!
