  1. I would hardly call 50 pounds in 1 month a stall!! Way to go. Your body is probably trying to figure out WTH???? lol Keep up the great work!~
  2. Had my 1 week post op appt today and got moved to creamy soups, protein shakes etc.. woohoo. Something with a little substance again!! Feeling great!
  3. only liquid going in is only liquid coming out for me! I was sleeved on 9-6 and I finally had a "bm" yesterday. One of the best pieces of advice I got from a friend is NEVER trust a fart. I am very careful about that and thankful for the advice!! Good luck. Everyone is different and it will happen sooner or later
  4. I couldn't find either angel or sally
  5. I bought an off brand at Target for my daughter. She loves it and makes smoothies a lot in it. It was used by her and all of her college roommates She said it works just as well as the magic bullet for a fraction of the price.
  6. everything! I use it for protein shakes, as soon as I get to puree'd food I will use it for that. I have had it for a few years and it is great for salsa, guacamole etc... You will love it!
  7. It wont let me copy and paste or cut and paste! It says there is a driver error in the database:(
  8. I was using IE. I tried Chrome and that didn't work either....
  9. Every time I try to update my tickers or read my messages I get a page that says it is a driver error. What can I do to stop this? Thanks
  10. home and doing great. What happened with you? Hope you are on the mend quickly!!!
  11. I was excited and not scared. I feel great! Got out of the hospital today. Keep up the positive attitude!!!
  12. The upper GI was a piece of cake! It does not taste great but you hardly have to drink any and it goes quickly. I got to watch it on the screen too so that was interesting I hated all of the unknown! It is nice to have this forum so you can ask questions and figure a bit of it out ahead of time!
  13. I was told only Tylenol. No aleve, advil etc... They are very hard on your stomach. Good luck!
  14. I was also sleeved on Thursday. I had a hard time getting my liquids in. Just keep sipping... I slept so much it was hard to get it in. It is much easier for me today. I am feeling fantastic!! How about you?
  15. I am headed home today! Day 3 post op and feeling great! Keep hydrated, get your walks in and stay positive! Also keep io on pain meds! I hope you all do this well
  16. I am doing great! I get to go home today. Just the normal surgery pain but they are good at keeping it under control. Keep hydrated and positive! You will do great. Cant wait to see how much I am down now. Lots of iv fluid so I wont freak if I'm upgood luck. Keep me updated
  17. I had my surgery yesterday and am doing great! I did have trouble getting my bladder to work but now it is fine. I can tell when my 4 hours are up for pain meds! They are very good about keeping on top of it. I go home tomorrow. Good luck to all of you.
  18. YOu will do just great! I had the same attitude you do and today is my last day of liquid diet. It really did go by fast! Positive attitude makes all the difference in the world!! Good luck
  19. I found if I drank a protein drink it helped. Today I am clear liquids so nothing much helps at all. I no longer feel as hungry as I did at first.
  20. oh no! I hope you are feeling better in the morning. Could it be allergies?? Don't give up. Just think how much healthier you will be!!!
  21. Tomorrow I get my sleeve and out goes the gallbladder!! I am SO excited Today is clear liquid which is a bit harder than the protein shakes etc. but I am so happy about surgery that it isn't bothering me!! Good luck to you all. I will check in when I can
  22. Tomorrow!!! I am beyond excited Clear liquids today... I better keep busy
  23. I am on Thursday! SO excited Good luck to you.
  24. So nice to hear stories like this! I LOVED hearing that you are not boiling hot anymore. I seem to have my own internal furnace! I am at the age that it gets even worse periodically!! lol Thanks for sharing your story
  25. When I first told my family my brother got upset. He thinks it is cheating. (he was drunk) He is very opinionated and of course his way is always the RIGHT way. We argued for a while. He said I really need to research this... REALLY??? did he think I would just one day wake up and say WOW I think I will go sign up for surgery without researching anything?? He wanted me to watch Biggest Loser for 1 season. HA. I told him I wanted him to watch Intervention for 1 season too We finally ended the conversation by me saying I would be more than happy to discuss this with him again sometime when he is sober. He has not brought it up again. Everyone else in my family is very supportive! I have told most of my friends too and they are also supportive. I am a very positive person and presented it in a very positive way to everyone too. 2 days from now I will be sleeved!!! woohoo . I can't wait
