  1. Apparently some of us have a very uneventful experience. Welcome to the group. I woke up in so little pain I was convinced I hadn't been sleeved. I made the nurse read my chart. I never filled my pain script from the hospital. I guess we are just lucky or More so blessed. If only I could get the chewing thing. Two small bites and I am full.

    "so How Much Weight Have You Lost?" Rant

    I know exactly how you feel. I was sleeved on the 15th and I am getting the same questions. I hear the disappointment when I say 10 lbs or so. I lost 10 on the pre-op diet so I total 20 or so total but I swear people expect you to be skinny by the next time you see them.

    Protein Shakes - Help!

    Premier Protein is the only drink I like post surgery everything else has a disgusting whey smell. They sell chololate and vanilla at Sams Club.
  6. Soft foods stink. 2 bites and my tummy aches. Is this normal? eating bites.

    Frozen Yogurt Anyone?

    It was on my postoperative food list. Sugar free nonfat. I am on day 14. You could add a scoop to some powder and make a yummy shake.
  8. I had surgery 6.15.12. I had 5 days clear liquids, and 6 days full liquids. 2 more days an on to puréed. I cannot wait. I have puréed for 5 days then soft foods. Can't wait for regular foods.

    1-Week Weight Loss

    I am 7 days postop and I think I only lost two pounds. I've decided to leave the scale alone. The only thing I can think is that I am retaining fluids. I am barely getting 400 calories. I am going to get more fluids in.

    Wanting To Buy An Elliptical

    I bought a golds gym elliptical and it was so cheap and creaky. I got it from Walmart and gave it away for free. I always felt like I was too big for it. It creaked even though it had been oiled. I eventually bought a refurbished lifefitness elliptical online. So much better. I want a treadmill next.
