You would really question someone on their post?? Who cares if the chick had sex right out of surgery! Some people want it and some people don't. She was replying to the question that someone asked. If you don't believe it then move on to the next question, why start a "I don't think your telling the truth thing". ...Good Luck to ya.

Hello Dr Z Patients,
Just wanted to check in. 5 days post op and feeling GREAT. Day 1 and 2 were challenging but each day following has been significantly better. I don;t regret this for a moment. I started on full liquids today and started drinking my Premiere Protein, it never tasted so good! 3 oz later I was full. Took the dog for a walk, been going for 3 days now but in this heat neither of us can stand more than 20 mins. I poured my pain meds down the drain this morning. I don't need them anymore and with 7 years sobriety I have no desire to have narcotics around my house.
How you new sleevers doing and to those of you waiting, I'm so excited for you!

Drink as much as you can! I never did the 64 oz's down, but I did my best. Try ice cold, or try room temp to find out which tastes better to you. But always keep drinking.....you get tired of it, but it's sooo important. When you pee if it's light yellow your doing good, if it's dark put some more effort into it. Also s/f popcicles help too. Good luck

I was on 8 meds for my diabetes ( 4 meteformin-4 glipizide) everyday and 3 b/p meds, chols med. Now I'm on (1) meteformin and my Vitamins and that's it.Hoping to come off my (1) meteformin soon.

Girl....you'll have a story to tell when your feeling better ( and you WILL feel better sister!). You must be one tough chick to go through all that and still come out fighting! Take it easy it does get better!

It might be the bread at this stage. I can eat turkey or chicken, but cannot eat it on bread (even toasted) without it being really uncomfortable.

I agree, it was probably the bread, I also do sandwich roll up, no bread, I also stuff avocado in the middle,

In my opinion, 46 days out is too early to be eating any kind of bread, even the "thin" ones. The humus and turkey slices are good choices, but the bread will stick and swell. As far out as I am my lunch consists of just cheese slices and chicken slices, no bread. So I eat a "breadless sandwich". Try rolling up some cheese, turkey, chicken, string cheese etc. and see how that feels for you. Even though we have all had the same surgery, it is still a little different for each of us and it is a trial to sometimes find things that work for you. If the bread isn't working right now (and I think that's what is giving you problems), stop eating it and if you really feel like you need bread then try it again in a few weeks. That's one thing you will find out, our tastes change. Somethings that we liked before surgery or right after surgery, all of a sudden we no longer like the taste or the texture of. Give it time, don't loose the faith and make sure and follow YOUR doctor's/nuts plan for you.

When I went in for surgery I made my husband and some family members Cookies to have at the hospital while they waited for me. I was going to bring in some for Dr. Zelada too. My husband said ...."why don't you wait and see how the surgery goes....LOL". I brought him some raspberry bars at my two week check up and told him what my husband said...he laughed. He went out of the room for two seconds and came back....mouth full and said I already had one...I'm not sharing these with anyone! I'm glad he liked them.

Let me know what u think when u get the chance to taste it.

Good for you.

Hooray!!! That's a good feeling!!

I have not had surgery yet but was already told that CARBONATED beverages were off limits and they suggested I start now so I can get use to living without carbonated drinks. Good thing for me is that I rarely drink soda anyway so it is fine. I was also told that CAFFINE will be allowed but very limited and not for the first few months after surgery. That will be the issue for me, I love my morning coffee. However I have read many posts on here where people have stated they had no taste for coffee post surgery anyway so we will see how it goes for me!

I'm lucky in this department, I'm not a beef fan. Before I only ate poultry and some fish (but I'm super picky with fish, really not a seafood fan).

Hi...at 4 weeks I was on full liquids and pureed chicken ,fish, or turkey . I'am at 6 wks out now and have been having a nice little stall for the past three weeks...yes it's bugging me and yes I've asked on here and to my medical team ..."is this normal?"....and yes it is normal. Your body is adjusting to what we just put it through and trying to get back to "it's normal". I'm having a hard time just letting it do it's thing...but there is nothing else I can do but get my Protein, Water in and work out. That said it sucks...but I not gonna get too upset.....Good luck.

Oh I forgot to add. We are told no red meat for 6 months to a year! Man I miss cheeseburgers!

I start this Thursday. I'am going to try and eat like I did before....clean ....just more calories. Protein first then veggies and fruit then carbs. I know I'll have a little somethin, somethin from time to time, but I don't want to undo everything I just went through.

I was told this BUT can do ground beef now....so I have plenty of burgers!! I live alone and there are nights I will go to Wendy's, get a cheeseburger with mustard, remove the bun, and eat!

A word about butter. It's a LOT better for you than plain vegetable oil like peanut, Canola, etc. I eat butter, olive oil and coconut oil in limited amounts of course. Saturated fats do not necessarily equal fat. Carbs do equal fat. If you body does not use what you eat for instant energy, it stores it as fat. Protein and fats are metabolized differently.
That said: About the only thing I would trust at a fair is the before mentioned turkey leg, grilled chicken or those Mexican trucks that sell the shrimp cocktail with avocado. I have also seen fresh fruit and nuts. Careful with the nuts. They are good Protein, but a serving is usually 1/4 cup. Obviously do not get the sugar encrusted ones. Oh yeah! Gourmet beef Jerky is great!

Thanks! It's all about not giving up the things I like to do, but just altering the thinking/and eating of food. I love going to the fair!

I'm already in a bunco group. So much fun

I have heard so many people say what a fun game that is, I wish I lived near you, I would definitely participate.
