Btw, I didn't even have an incision in my belly button either.

I had same thing. Went away after a few days.

Ask them to try a different anti nausea medicine

We are sleeve sisters. I too was sleeved on the 20th.

I feel great right now and so will you!!!!

Actualy I was sleeved on 20th. Sorry typo

I was sleeved on the 19th. This is just a little stumbling block due to anesthesia . You are gonna be fine. I promise you it won't stay like this. It's so worth it. I predict you will be much better in 24-48 hours!!!

I've been worrying about how you know when you are over doing it?

Ok, so I was starting to feel like a bottomless pit with clear liquids. I felt like I could drink and drink and felt no restriction. I just moved to thick chocolate protein shakes and my oh my!!!!! There is that restriction! I think I'm wore out and need a nap from trying to get this shake down. Don't get me' wrong, it's so yummy but I get full so fast ! This is so different!

I had mine with Dr. Kelly. His resume is impressive and alot of his education was done in states. You can even call the places he claims he attended in the states and they confirmed. He speaks perfect English. Very compassionate , caring, man who I sensed cared more about the life of his patients then the dollars. His assistant Trish is wonderful too. Let me' know if you want her number. I was sleeved on the 20th.

Hi. I'm Sheila. I was sleeved 8 days after you by Dr. Kelly. I heard about the great birthday time you all had at the restaurant. Justed wanted to say hi. Hope you are doing well.

The intake is wonderful. I was on Clear liquids for 8 days. No problem there. I have moved to taking my shakes. No problem here either because I love Atkins shakes. I was taking them long before even thinking about surgery. Now, I just modify them by adding some extra Protein powder to the already made shake to make it 35 grams. I could also add hersheys sugar free syrup to it if I wanted. Havent tried that yet. Also, I love iced tea. I just had to buy decaf and make it at home with splenda. I sip on that all day and I'm a happy camper. From what I hear, liquids is the easy stage. It's when you moved to real food that it gets interesting. Anyways, I feel normal. Best thing I've ever done for myself.

Thanks Lelia! Glad everything is going great for you. We were sleeved 3 days apart! Keep me updated on how you are doing. -Sheila

Have you tried Atkins. I think those are yummy. They are only 15 grams but I mix one scoop of amp powder in it which is 20 grams. So that makes 35 for one shake. And if you need it a little tastier you can squeeze in some hersheys sugar free syrup. Yummy

I think I'm only around 40 too right now

Oh forgot to tell you one thing... I too am 8 days post -op

Order French onion soup at Panera or Bread Company. Order it no croutons and no cheese. Just eat the broth out of it nit the sliced onions. It is so flavorful. It feels like such a treat!!!! I get all the time. If you feel the need to chew, I find sugar free gum keeps my mind of everything. Just don't swallow it!!!

Yes, mine did that a bunch! Lol. Glad you are doing great! Keep me' posted!

Very caring and compassionate man who I feel truly cares about the life of his patients more than the dollars.

I am 6 days post-op and I am wondering if I can eat just the broth out of French onion soup. If I order it no cheese and no croutons and don't eat the chopped up onions... Just drink the broth.

Yes, it was the avatar....thank you Sheila!!

Thank you so much for that story. I was just sleeved on the 20th. It has been wonderful but I'm strating to have this nightmare where I wake up and its all been a dream and my stomach is telling me to eat something again all freakin day long!!!

I just got home from having surgery with Dr. Kelly on the 20th! Whoo hooo! He is wonderful, compassionate man that I got the feeling cares more about the life of his patient then the dollar. I believe God led me to him. You will do great! Tell Trish and Dr. Kelly Sheila says HI!!!

I just missed you at the airport. I landed in San Diego on the 19th.
