Shun, that cheese is good and it settle ok. I am just tired of yogurt, cheese and protein shakes. I am just worry, should I be able to eat something else without those feelings?

Karen, I did try refried beans and the can is still in my refrigerator. They didn't set well either, chest pain right after I ate the beans and a minute later they came back up.

Thank you, if you don't mind me asking how far post op are you? I am 23 days and the only thing that settle well in my stomach are yogurt and protein shakes and I am tired of both of them. I have tried chicken salad, egg, mashed potatoe and nothing set well in my stomach.

I was just sleeved last Thursday. I am worry that I am drinking any Water, I have tried small sips, with ice, without ice, but still hurts going down. I just don't understand, on the other hand yogurt, blended Soups, and Popsicles go down with no problem. Any advise? Thank you Johanna

Donna & Shange Good luck to both of you on your surgery. Can't wait to hear from you both. Johanna

Hi Deborah, how are you? How are you doin? I have been thinking about our sleeve group...how is your aunt and daughter? Johanna

Ask your Dr. I would say yes, what about all of us who went to Mexico to be sleeved. I took a fly home 3 days after surgery and I am feeling great with no complications, thank god!

I stayed at the hotel because my hubby came with me. 4 ladies that had the surgery same day as me were very happy at the recovery house.

$4500. I have 3 friends that had the sleeved with him in the last year and all 3 of them are skinny, healthy and happy.

WOW Circa, 100 pounds in 4.5 months. Congrats!!! Do you mind sharing what are you doing that has contribute to your excellent weight lost. thank you:) Johanna

Donna, you are right about having our fluids. I am 11 days post-op and feel great and I think it is because I drink all day and I am having my blended soups every 3 hours.

Yes Donna, be ready and after the first pill, I want you to know that it is not a waiting time. I took my 3rd pill as soon as I got to San Diego thinking that i will be ok to walk the city for a litlle bit...big mistake, thank god that I have a change of clothes with me. Lol.

WOW. Congratulations!!!

On the day that you arrive in San Diego take it after you get to your hotel.

Yes, one every day. I bought the ducolax.

Hi Shangefan, yes 17 pounds. I am supper happy and feeling great. thank you:) Donna, your preop is 3 days liquid and each of those days you have to take your laxatives.
