I'm 3 weeks post op. Can we eat sugar? I've been buying sugar free everything but really want a good Froyo. I've read about dumping but gastric bypass patients, but was told you don't have to worry about that with the sleeve?

Prilosec has worked for me. I take it every morning and haven't had any heartburn! Hope you feel better!!

My name is Samantha too!
It sounds like your friend is just jealous..which is odd because she should be supporting you right now. But she's probably just a little insecure. I've only told my parents, 3 sisters, boyfriend and 2 very best friends who have all been awesome. But a few months ago my older sister who has always been skinny and petite made a comment to me "It's going to be weird when you're skinny!" I know she didn't mean it to be rude, but it just made me feel a little blah. I know she's just used to me being bigger for the past 20 years. But now that I'm 2 weeks post op, and I'm down almost 40 pounds, she keeps telling me how good I look, so I'm guessing it was a momentary insecurity she had.
Don't let what anyone says bother you, you're doing this for you and hell yes you're going to be looking fabulous after! Work it girl!

Thank you so much! It did help!

I was cleared yesterday to progress to the "Soft food" stage. So exciting! I'm just wondering what is the serving size you eat? I had a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes and gravy for lunch and that went fine. For dinner I tried cream of broccoli Soup pureed but 1/4 of it didn't seem like a lot because it was just liquid. Does the serving size matter according to what you're eating? Any thoughts?
