I don't know for sure maybe a veteran sleever can help but that seems like a long stall for so early out. Maybe you should contact your surgeon. I have been in a stall for 2.5 weeks (my longest stall so far) today I was finally down a pound.

I had one sip of a margarita & it burned like hell. I'm 6 weeks out

Pork rinds also 7 grams protein

Sugar Free Popsicles they are my saving grace especially when I get the munchies.

I'm 4 weeks & not cleared to start exercise till 8 weeks. But as far as healing my incisions were pretty good by 3 weeks.

I was sleeved march 27th so I'm a month ahead but feel free to talk to me about anything.

Thin!!!!!!!!! I was in a size 14 at the age 12 & only kept going. I have never been thin or felt beautiful or happy with the way I looked. I am so excited & ready but I just can't see myself other than a plus size. I long to go in a regular store & be able to wear most of the stuff in there but I can't picture myself that way. I think about it often but part of me keeps saying you'll never get there you are always going to be FAT! On a plus side I'm down 24lbs at my 4 week appointment.

Last nite I had 3 sugar free popsicles only 15 calories, the give my mouth something to do & I get in fluids so its all wins.

have u tried the Mios they're good.

I like this one from Walmart its 45 grams of whey Protein. Watermelon is the best. They not great but easy way to get in protein [ATTACH]2978[/ATTACH]

I find if I shake the crap out of it (I don't have a blender ball) then let it rest for a few then shake one last time it does the trick.

I could really use some encouragement. I was sleeved 3/27/12. I know this is not an overnight fix but wondering if this is gonna work for me. I have been extra depressed lately. I still feel hungry all the time. I'm down 18lbs but I lost 16 of that the first week & only 2 pounds since. I try to get at least half my Protein in each day. I just want get smaller. I feel like I'm gonna fail at this like I do with everything else. I have been able to handle anything I ate but to be honest I was hoping food would make me sick. I'm tired of being a slave to food. I don't wanna be fat anymore!!!!

It depends on what kind u take. I take Wellbutrin & it can actually help with weight loss.

Flintstones complete is what my doctor recommended

When my doctor came to check on me just before discharge he asked if I had any questions. I said sex & roller coasters but not necessarily together lol. He said two weeks for both. Don't think we'll wait 2 weeks for the sex though lol

I was sleeved 3/27. Last night was my first night sleeping in my own bed. I had been sleeping in recliner. It was a little uncomfortable I needed 4 pillows lol but it was nice to be in my own bed & next my hubby. I was put on Protein shakes in hospital day after surgery. I feel sick if I don't keep some kind of something in my stomach.

I can have them as well. The more I read on here seems like doctors are all over the board on what they do & don't allow before & after surgery. I only had to do a clear liquid diet day before surgery then nothing after midnight. I've seen some people say they can have soft & pureed foods 1 week out & some on Clear Liquids 1 week out. I can live with my doctors plan. 2 weeks of liquids including pudding & yogurt. Then weeks 3 & 4 soft & pureed foods.

I'm doing pretty good. No shoulder pain either. The hardest part of this liquid diet is it's pretty much all sweet stuff & I don't care for broth. I would kill for week 3 when I can have can chicken or tuna & I'm drooling over the thought of pintos & cheese from taco bell. lol I hate not knowing what my stomach wants. If I go to long without anything I get nauseous I've even been having some Protein drink in the middle of the night. (not sure if I should) I had 2 bites of sugar free chocolate pudding then decided I wanted one more...bad idea lol never thought I'd see the day where 3 bites of pudding(or anything for that matter) would stuff me to the point of being sick.

I personally didn't find the pain to be to terrible. I've had 3 sections and this has been much easier by far. For me the worst part of the recovery room was still feeling so heavy from the drugs. Good luck to you.

6 more laps. Should be going for upper gi soon.

I had surgery yesterday (3/27/12) I'm doing OK. In some pain. I managed 7 laps around nurses station. I've gotten so many compliments on how awesome I'm doing started in recovery room. My biggest complaints are dry mouth & throat & peeing like crazy. The peeing wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to call nurse every time to unhook everything. Oh & compression stockings suck. :-( The pain has been bare able. I knew there would be pain so I guess I can deal cause I was prepared for that.

So it's almost here. I couldn't be more excited. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous but for the most part I am just ready. I don't even think I have anymore questions at this point. I've done my research I know this is ging to be a hard journey but so ready for it. I am sick & tired of carrying around the weigh of an extra person. Hoping to find a few friends on here to help in this journey & maybe help them too.
