Of course its.good!! What is ur surgery date

It seems a majority of people are saying that carbon and gum will stretch out the sleeve .... I specifically asked my surgeon about those and he told me if I can handle carbon then I can drink it. He told me that our stomachs are like rubber bands and if we eat too much we will throw up. Does your surgeons tell u specifically to stay away from these things?

Mine was realizing that I could barely fit in our tub. I started taking showers in our basement because I didn't want my husband to know I couldn't fit.
Last night I sat cris cross apple sauce in the tub and tinkled a little because I was so gitty

This is the first major goal I've been waiting for. I'm almost halfway there now. This dress will be WAY too big when I'm done!
Oh YES I did!!!

Maybe we should renew our vows while it still fits!

OK they aren't to my knees but they have changed so much. I was in a C or a D and now the cups are huge on me...I can't wait till goal so my girls can smile again

I'm so so sorry you are going through this. I had a leak so I know what you're going through. Feel free to send me a personal message if you want to talk about it. If you're only a week out, sounds like they caught it pretty early and the fact they are giving you liquids and might send you to a regular room is a real good sign.

This is so sad to read, I feel the pain that you are in right now. I have been married almost 30 years, we did survive infidelity but it took years to heal the hole that it left in our lives. His blaming you is wrong on so many levels. He needs to take the responsibilty for his actions and not try blaming you. I understand not wanting to divorce because of your daughter. You are in my prayers, because it takes a lot of those to heal the mess this has created. I wish you the best. Take one day at a time sweetie.

So I went to weigh in and my nurse was excited to tell me I am now "obese". I was like "uh...thanks". She goes "no, I mean, you're not 'morbidly obese' or even 'severly obese'. Now you are just obese. Next stop overweight"...hahahaha!

I only threw up once after surgery and that was from a skinless costco chicken wing that was washed off. I usually end up sitting on the bathroom floor super nauseous. Sweaty and spit up alot(unable to throw up) if I over eat

As others have said, it's really your surgeon or nutritionist you need to ask. They have the final say so. My surgeon is of the "no soda" camp. I'll admit, I was a bad boy and tried a little soda. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste the way it did before surgery. It wasn't like I couldn't do it, but it just tasted - well, bland. I didn't like it. I haven't had it since, but I do love tea, and drink a lot of that.

I have had periods where I have no motivation to do anything. It's scarey and counterproductive for me. I am so goal orientated and have missed quite a few opportunities. What is your lack of motivation?

To be fair every doctor is different. I would ask your nutritionist. My dr says that it is a myth that it stretches out your stomach. He said the theory makes no so sence. That if you get built up air you will burp it out...naturally. Although he did say if you drink pop you have a good chance of getting addicted again and for some it causes horrible gas pain. So he advices his patients to stay away because as he says if you were addicted to it before the sleeve chances r you will get addicted after..why take the chance.
If you look through the threads you will see some people on here drink pop everyday and do just fine and have for year or more. I ess craving a sprite so bad that I got a sprite zero and swooshed it around my mouth for awhile then spit it out...I was afraid I would swollow it and have horrible gas. That made me stop craving it. Also my nutrtionist said if you crave it so bad you can't take it then keep a can of diet whatever and keep it in the fridge. Just sip every couple hours. Lots of her clients do that. But like I said your doc knows what is best for you so if yours says no I would go by him.
PS...6 weeks we were told we could drink pop.

I haven't gotten the guts to do it yet! I am doing Jillian Michaels's 30 Day Shred which has comparable results and it is kicking my butt! I am so sore all the time!

So I am getting in the tub...and I noticed THAT I DIDN'T FLOOD THE BATHROOM FLOOR. Usually when I get in it is like I parted the Red Sea...But not today folks!
