do you have any hanging skin on your body or have you had plastics?

I had surgery 9/28/12 and we also have similar stats. 5'5 started this journey at 269 and 2 wk pre op got me to 261 am now 248.5. Slow going but ok I guess. Btw you look GREAT

Oh steak. That sounds AMAZING right now!!!

Nothing. And I keep battling dehydration grrr

That is awesome. So basically get off my butt correct! Lol

Ok I was sleeved the 28th of sept. what at 10 days out were you out there in sleeve land able to eat? Aside from liquid. And I know that all dr orders are different but tell me how you are doing.

Thank you I'm trying! I haven't exercised yet and i know i need to! I should be at least walking! I have trouble with fluids as well

That is AWESOME! I was sleeved 9/28/12. And I've only lost 20 an that's from first dr visit til now.

I am in between loose and solid with small bouts of explosions lol. And i think I to am going to back off the protein and go back to liquids only for a few days. Maybe that will help

Hospital and new dr!! Very important. Dehydration messes with your pancreas and liver! Please take care

That's just great!! I just got out of the hospital for dehydration Saturday! I'm 19 days post op and am still trying to get in my liquids. Grrr. I just did the pinch test on my knuckle and yep it stayed. VICIOUS CIRCLE I TELL YA I also have the forehead ache. What are we to do is a very good question. Please feel better soon

I was sleeved 19 days ago and I just have no energy!! Bouts of nausea and belly aches. Hunger has came back. Struggling to get in fluids and protein. Shakes are just gross and the taste and texture of chicken is just nasty! Any advice!? I'm 20 lbs down and that's pre op too so I haven't lost much but was also in hospital for dehydration and pancreatitis and GAO Ed weight. Grrrr

I have no idea what that last sentence was. Stupid fat fingers!!!

What protein bars are ok to eat? They seem to have a lot of carbs and some have fat. Any suggestions?

How if I may ask is everyone filing for disability with the state? I also have state insurance and had my surgery on 9/28/12. Am I allowed to file for it or is it a special circumstance? I'm just curious. Sorry if I am being nosy!

Okay so I had a huge scare this morning!!! My insurance change their prereqs and I thought I was going to have to do is six months supervised diet! Instead I got the most wonderful news that I am having my sleeve done September 28 instead of October 24!!! I have never been so excited in my life!

Try mixing it with sf pudding

I totally agree I certainly hope it was a typo!

Ok so I'm on my purée phase this week and I have boiled eggs, boiled 2 sweet potatoes and peeled them And boiled 3 sm chicken breasts. This should last me quite a while but my question is what are some ideas for these 3 items? Any quick throw together recipes? I thought pre making some things would help in measuring my food intake. Thanks a bunch!

Spread your protein out over the day like 3 8oz shakes a days and sf Popsicles and jello also count as your liquid! Broth also helps. Just try your hardest! It is so important! I was sleeved on 9/28/12 and the day before my 2 weeks I ended up in the hospital for dehydration and they discovered I had pancreatitis! I spent 3 days and just got home yesterday! It is no fun going back so please try hard! It is so important for your health and success! Good luck to you and if you need anything just ask! We are all here for you!

I need buddies! My username is sloanmcsleevie please add me I just got started!

Just got home and just very tired! Sent home on purée finally and tried to eat cottage cheese and I don't know what happened but it just stuck like lead right in the middle of my ribs! I don't know if it was my hernia or what but had to lay down for about an hour. Tried to get sick and couldn't. Truly think i would have felt better!

Well this is one visit I swore I would never have to make! But here I am back in the hospital for dehydration and testing for leak and endo blah!!!
