What Are Your Favorite Right After Surgery Liquids?
I'm really limo g the unjury chicken soup too! I still don't tolerate cold liquids very well and it really hits the spot! Also, my husband made a big pot of soup with chicken (shredded), green Beans and carrots. It's SO good! I eat a tiny bit of the chicken and the carrots and green beans are so soft that they're going down well. I also drink the soup broth from a coffee mug to help get in my fluids. As for Water, I'm really digging the Ocean Spray mixers, especially Cran-Grape and Blueberry-Lemonade!

Not All Sleevers Eat 500 Cals A Day For The Rest Of Their Lives!
Awesome post!!! You could've taken this out of my brain. I refuse to let food lord over me anymore. I'M in control now! I want to feel better and live a long time. I'm not looking to don a bikini or pose for nudes! I just want to eat and play line a normal person and stop thinking about food and my weight all the time.

Is anyone else on blood pressure medication? I'm starting g to think that maybe mine needs to be adjusted already as I'm kind of shaky and weak after ANY exertion at all! Has anyone had to adjust their medication already?

Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date
I'm doing pretty well on my protein and fluids, but i still feel TIRED. I push myself through the day, but my left side hurts by the late afternoon and by bedtime, I'm beyond exhausted. I feel like I should be feeling better by now and I'm frustrated.

Are y'all measuring your food? I keep seeing posts they say things like, "I can only eat 2oz of chicken", etc. I honestly have no idea how man ounces of food I'm eating right now! I know it's not much but I don't know exactly. If you are, how are you measuring food? Thanks!

Use Your First Six Months Wisely
I stand by my original post...extremes got us here and extremes will serve us NO better on the "other side". If you're gullible enough to believe some ridiculous post on a public forum instead if your surgeon, nutritionist and HUNDREDS of successful sleevers, by all means, go ahead with your bad self.

Blender Bottle
A juicer literally just gets juice out of fruits or vegetable. I have a Ninja blender for chopping stuff up and it's great!

Oh, and I took my Prisolec and one of my leftover Phenergan. Didn't help.- Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!
Even after resting for a few hours, my stomach is burning and feels "full". I feel like I would feel better if I could throw up, but I certainly didn't overheat! I have a headache, too. I'm hurting under my right shoulder blade and down my right side. Blah.- Post Op Octosleevers 2012. Welcome To The Losers Bench!
I was sleeved on 10/15 and I've been doing fine. Today I feel rotten. My stomach has a terrible "burning" feeling, I feel like poo and my right side is hurting. I haven't trued anything new and I haven't eaten/drank any more or less than usual. I'm hoping its just the after affects of my first week back to work, but I can't help but worry. What say y'all?- 4 Month Anniversary: Embarassed About Weight Loss
Girl, I'd wear that costume EVERYWHERE!! You look GREAT in it.- Use Your First Six Months Wisely
Work out four hours a day?! That's hilarious. And ridiculous. Yes, take advantage of the do-called "Honeymoon Period" to make healthy, PERMANENT changes. Going to extremes is what got us all here. And going to new extremes will not serve us well either. Be aggressive, but be smart, too.- Dent
Good!! I look tufted!!- Burping....lol
