  1. i just had a revision from a sleeve to roux en y and yes i can hear everything. i also feel things moving through. Has anyone else had this experience?
  2. nsv! - I fit in xl and my old clothes are looking too big! :-D

  3. so happy to be eating salad again!

  4. feeling a little different... better I think...

  5. I was sleeved on 4/23 and I'm okayed for all foods but I had my sleeve remind me that it's boss when I got excited about some grilled shrimp. It came up and my stomach hurt for the next day and a half. I've learned my lesson and completely backed off of meats. Had a half of a veggie burger w/ cheese and ketchup and mustard (no bun) and even that was a little uncomfortable going down. I have had a love affair with sugar free popsicles and had the audacity to try a low sugar "creamsicle" which did not agree with me either. I feel like a kid who keeps sticking her hand toward the cookie jar only to get it smacked! The only real cheat I've had was a corner of my daughters pound cake which stayed down and a half of a cracker with a soft cheese spread... Living and learning...
  6. my sleeve is having a temper tantrum...

  8. Everyday is a learning experience... Todays lesson: All sugar free popsicles are NOT created equal.

  9. Thanks for posting. The emotional component of this journey is so serious that I wasn't prepared for these emotional bouts I've been having myself. I cook for my family and it is pure torture being on liquids only. I can't wait to start mushies so I can at least have a plate at dinner. Sometimes I just walk away from the table b/c I'm so frustrated. Reading the posts makes me feel semi normal again so (one more time) Thanks for posting. :-)
  10. Thanks everyone. I have slown down and adjusted the temp which helped a little but by far the ice chips are working. It was 107 degrees today and the ice chips were the best!
  11. Back to work and exhausted after 1 week. My doctor's hard core... :-/

  12. I'm gonna call my family back in the US and see if I can get them to send me some. Thanks!
  13. I am 8 days postop and I'm on all liquids. Even though I can drink many different liquids without any reflux or problems... Plain water still makes me cough up this... foam...? Its white and foamy and I was told post op it was just anesthesia but now my doctors concerned and I have to suffer through an Endoscopy (you know the camera down your throat...) Any ideas or suggestions what this is about or what I can do to make water more tolerable b/c if this doesn't improve I can't move on to soft foods and I REALLY want to move on... Not to mention that I live in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi which, as some know, is in the MIDDLE of the DESERT. So water's kinda important... Please HELP!!!

    I was sleeved on Monday as well and I can say that its improving but I'm still extremely slow moving and slow recovering. You all are so lucky to be on broth and jello I only get water (bleh) apple juice and tea...
  15. Day 4 and I'm still looking for a comfortablesleeping postion...
