Pill Question
I take two thyroid meds, two prilosecs and Zoloft. I was told to go ahead and take them after the leak test was performed. Sometimes the Zoloft doesn't go down to smooth, have learned to take that with my protein shake. I also really space out my pills in the morning, so everything goes down whole and ok.

July Sleevers
I was sleeved July 18 and am down 18lbs, although this includes the six I gained at the hospital! Today is my first day of mushies....what a difference in energy a scrambled egg and some b-12 has made! I was pretty weak even with the protein shakes. Somehow today feels like I've crawled over the hump, and I'm on my way:)

What Would You Do?
I had surgery on the 18th and still have a little drainage from that incision too. I've gone to work two times for about 4 hrs each time to catch up on things, but sitting straight up all the time in my chair was hard. If I sat bent over my desk looking at documents it hurt. So take your time returning, once they have you back it may be hard to take off.

Please Not A Leak!
A bleeding ulcer can also cause the yellow. Go to the ER!

Help! Soda During Pre-Op Liquid?
I used to drink three diet soda's at least per day and two cups of coffee each morning.. During the pre-op stage I stopped, went through some bad headaches but figure it was better to do it before surgery since I wouldn't be allowed to drink them after I was sleeved.
