9 days out, doing clears, and baby cereal with Unjury protein p owder. Taking in atleast 72g protein/day...I've lost 11 lbs since beginning of preop diet which was only 3 days...

Ninja at wal-mart 79 dollars. will juice, smoothie, chop & puree. Has 2 smoothie cups with it, great buy...

Sleeved aug 28th 2012 and am experiencing the same thing!

Recovery unit nurse here, nursing for 20 years. Sleeved Aug 28 2012, have lost 11 lbs since before preop diet...

I'm so glad you're having the surgery you won't be sorry. Yes they lock up your luggage/purse while you have surgery in a room and label it with your name etc 1st thing. The staff if very trustworthy. The building is kept locked at all times, they have to buzz to get in the building... I felt very safe.

I weighed this am and have lost 11lbs since 1 wk before surgery (2 weeks ago)! I'm thrilled. I can tell my pants are looser and upper abd less puffy! Yay for me!

I had no hangover effect once i was up and around. I recover quickly though. It's hard to say how you'll feel...

That's awesome you get to work from home, I think i would've been alright to do that. I had gas pains the night of and next day after surgery. The heating pad helped more than anything. Slept with it on low heat...After the 2nd day i was good to go.

That's a bummer, i don't know if they'll do surgery, let the doc know asap today. It depends on the surgeon...

Congratulations that's a good loss already! i've lost 11 lbs and am 1wk and 1 day out...Keep it up!

Every-one recovers differently but if you're concerned i'd call the doc. Hope you start perking up soon!

I got my sublingual liquid at walgreens it tastes good, it costs 10.99.

Cool! time will hopefully go by as fast for you as it did for me good luck!

Yay for you! 1 week out for me and feeling great! Good luck!

I would call the doc and let him know. It could be BAD gas pains, I'm 7 days out and had ALOT of gas today...Try gas-x, and call the doc...

I'm just getting started on my journey and am 1 week out so i can't relate to losing too much weight however i've wondered about it happening to me. I started off with a lower bmi than some it was 32. I wonder if i'll have this TERRIBLE problem LOL... Just kidding it could really BE a problem I'm curious to see the responses you get. I'm in western Ky. Saw your surgeon is in Lexington! Take Care...

You did the right thing. Sounds like he's picking up right where he left off from when drinking before... Yes, i'm married to an alcoholic...He is a hard working, ethical, responsible, loving person but he is an alcoholic. THat's hard to say, and most people would never DREAM that I or him have this problem. He does not beat me mentally or physically when drinking but boy does it get on my nerves...He's a daily drinker of beer and on an occasion drinks Jim Beam. THat's the part i hate, the Jim Beam...I left for a year and a half because he used to drink and start bitching but he learned to not do that now... I love him and it's sad. It has started to affect his liver, he says he's getting ready to quit (right before he pops the top on another cold one), maybe he will maybe he won't i can't control that. All i can do is watch and wait and see. I pray he does soon. People who know him at work would really be surprised that he can be as high functioning as he is if they were to see him this next weekend...Take care...

From what I understand it just isn't absorbed well by the stomache. Especially now since ours is so small.

Good luck and keep in touch ASAP....

My heating pad was my best friend after surgery for the gas pains....

Doing great 1 week out. Doing my clear liquids still. Taking Unjury chewable vitamins, sublingual B-12, and protein powder in chicken broth...Sutures come out the 10th day, incisions look good...

I would get someone to sit with kids until you're in your room for a little while if possible. It is nice to have someone there just in case...And for support...

Divorcel, VSG. & pregnancy... Oh My....Bless your heart...I mean I hope you'll be alright... Keep in touch with us please...

My surgeon said i could clean that and put a piece of surgical (sterile) tape over it to prevent rubbing and change it a few times a day if draining. If not draining daily...A non stick gauze changed often if it is really draining...

Bread is a BAD weakness for me, i plan to NOT do bread simply for that fact. I'm not even going to try it...
