  1. Guys can I put fruit in my protein shake? I'll start my morning off tomorrow with.a shake and really try to get it together. Today was such hell and I'm still very sore.
  2. I took tylenol today bc I woke up.with a.headache. I carry water and SIP a lot. I guess its just all catching up to me now. Tnx
  3. I like the chocolate, I used to have one in the.morning with a tsp of pb and half banana. Very satisfying
  4. Ok so I'm down 2 more lbs since yesterday. I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time with no food. I feel like s#$t! I hate artificial sweetners and am so regretting this at the moment. I feel like I'm walking dead. I can handle the fluids but the lack of nourishment is killing me. I'm tellin you the full liquid stage they told.me about before surgey is not the full liquid stage I'm told now. Sorry had to rant
  5. Is anyone HOT? A week post op today and yesterday and today I feel extremely HOT! No fever but hot and clamy. Today ran some errands and I think the.exhaustion finally hit me. By the time I got into my place I was dizzy and heart.was racing. I took a nice long nap.

  8. I lost 8 lbs as of yesterday which was 6 days post op. I was told I'm not drinking enough. I told them I was drinking 4-6 cups of fluid, 16oz of broth and was told not enough. I don't know how I'm going to be able to go back to work and drink all day long. Now she says 64oz of water, 22 fl oz protien before.I should take on any soup, pudding, yogurt etc. This stinks!
  9. I'm 1 week post op today and would like to know how others are feeling or felt at this time. Were you still sore? Could you sleep on your side? Could you tie shoes? Bruising? I'm still sore and moving slow. Thanks
  10. Hmmm not sure. I had to stomach muscles tightened up. But I assume the.skin will be taunt. Will u have drains?
  11. I've been given the go ahead for stage 2 full liquids. I'm having a really hard time with anything sugar free, it just doesn't taste good and tingled my mouth. Do protein shakes count as a fluid? Drs nut says no my nut says yes. I'm so confused and will be on stage 2 for 3 weeks and soups have to be broth based. Any suggestions?

  13. I'm 5 days post op also and I'm hungry, esp in the morning. I'm still on clear liquids though. I have yet to feel restriction but am taking in everything very slow.
  14. You stomach will feel very tight and it will be hard to stand up straight. You will feel great about 2 weeks out to be rid of the pouch. Best of luck
  15. Fage is great! It's my favorite my nut would say no bc of the fruit. U an buy the plain and use sugar free preserves in it. Should really have nothing with more the 7 g of sugar. I hope I go on full liquids tomorrow.
  16. I've been craving pickle too,lol. I'm so dang bored being in the house and to.top it off it seems like all I watch is food network. I'm such a foodie!
  17. Hi all- I'm 5 days post op and the pain is not too bad. My one complaint is my ovaries hurt! Esp the left one. Is it possible for the remaining gas to settle low in the belly and put pressure on the ovaries? It's Monday and I.will call the office. It's my main source of discomfort. I've been very lucky to not have had any discomfort as of yet with the swallowing of liquids. I am so ready for some nourishment and to move on to the next stage.
  18. 'm 4 days post op and would like to know when I can take a bath? I'd really like to soak my muscles.
  19. Thank you Dallas. I needed that, I feel very much alone
  20. My surgery was 6/20 and im on clear liquids for one week followed by 2 weeks on full liquids. Its only been 4 days, im so looking forward to having a shake or a soup.
  21. I was sleeved on the 20th also and although i do feel bettter i still feel like s$&t! I can say i was def not prepared for this, at the moment i have big regrets. At this point all i can do is hope it gets better and regret fades. A 1 1/2 surgery took over 4 hours, dr said he almost didnt think he could do it. My stomach was a mess from previous band, i wish he chose to back out and not do it. Nurses at the hospital were terrible! And i work for the hospital. No body ever got me up anything i did was by myself! I thought id have support and i dont. Boyfriend was supposed to stay with me for the weekend but went MIA. Im depressed cant stand having to chew my nasty meds and being on liquids and not being able to eat since monday sucks! Im afraid my sleeve is goingto leak and im going to die! Im bored out of my mind and dont know what to do with myself. Sorry for the rant im just so damn miserable.
  22. Dr said to call if fever got to 100.4 which it hasnt but i keep taking extra strength tylenol. I thinki have a script for liquid percocet, just need a ride to pharmacy. I cant imagine having to get dressed to go outside. When i walk there is so much pressure in the belly. Im taking sips of gatorade every half an hour or so but have also has loose stools 3 times already this morning. Is this normal? Im afraidof dehydration.
  23. Thank you. I hope the meds will help with these spasms!
  24. When i walk around i feel like i need to hold my stomach up. I felt pretty good in the hospital but i can barely walk around.
