I am 7 weeks out. My suggestion is to go back to soft foods or just a protein shake diet for a bit. No hotdogs or ham. Try eggs, fish, refried beans -- high protein but soft.

How many days post-op are you?

Yes! Have it checked out immediately. You don't want to play around with that. Good luck and keep us posted when you return from the Dr.

I had a headache for a few days. The more liquid i ingested, the better it got.

I know the feelings going thru your mind right now! It was 13 short days ago for me! You will be fine and you will join this elite group of "losers" tmrw! All the best to you both!

Surgery was 6/14. Stayed in hosp 3 nights as I Had a bleeder blood vessel. Ended up getting 2 pints of blood. I'm okay now! Down 10.5 lbs. can't wait til Friday for the pureed stage!!

I was sleeved 6/14 and I, too, have the same growling. I thought that I was hungry. Turns out its heartburn/acid reflux. Once I take my omeprazole, it stops.

Amber, Since u were so sweet to share the no-bread bread recipe i wanted to share with you my Quinoa recipe! I replaced rice w/quinoa a couple of years ago before considering wls. I sautee red onion in olive oil. I cook the quinoa in a rice cooker - same proportions as rice. When its done, I pour it in a bowl, add the onions, some fat free feta cheese, capers, lemon juice and salt & pepper. Delish! Excellent source of protein! Quinoa comes from Peru. There are different colors too: red, black and white. I dont know the difference cuz Ive only bought the white. A 5lb bag is $10 at costco. Regular grocery stores charge alot for a small amount. Hope this helps!

Ok everyone, i feel better! I've heard the phrase "it slides right thru the sleeve." but how does our food get absorbed if it goes right thru the sleeve? Is that done further down in the intestines? I need to take an anatomy class! Lol

I'm trying to figure out why I dont feel full. I can drink a 6 oz cup of broth pretty quickly and I dont feel full. I had a 1/4 cup of sugar free pudding earlier and wasnt full either. Makes me think I wasn't sleeved haha - but i have the darn bruised stomack to proove it! Can anyone tell me why I'm like this?

Good luck to all of you. I am 5 days post op and doing fine. Its a great joirney. I'm not going to weigh myself until my 2 wk post-op visit to the Dr. They pump a lot of fluids into you and it can hang around a bit.

Thx everyone!
