Congrats!

One of the posters on page 2user names is eat that frog. Sorry I wrote 'the' not 'that'. Thanks for letting me know.

Not sure. I know they have to be taken the same time everyday. Might want to ask your dr. I know in the hospital I was getting two a day at 330am and pm. But when I got home they were once we day and I picked 1030am as my time. One day I forgot and did it when I remembered at 2pm but then the next day I went back to my 1030am time. I definitely don't nd it easier to do it myself than my hubby doing.

My plan is fairly close to eat the frogs. Was sleeved 12/10. I'm 17 days post op and just started purees tonight. Been on full liquids since the 13th. When I had soup or jello I could only get down about 1/4 sometimes a bit more but usually around a 1/4. Tonight I made refried beans with cheese and sour cream. I scooped out a 1/2 and maybe have had 1/4 of it in 30 minutes and I'm stuffed. Kinda sounds like you can eat more than most of us early postopers. Definitely need to focus on protein like others have said. I know right now I can't have Chipotle veggies. I can't do, veggies or fruit until 8 weeks out i think. Did they give you a diet to, follow or did you have to see a nutritionist?

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Was the anesthesiologist not watching or what happened? I'm sorry that happened to you.

Congrats everyone on your wl! I'm 12/10 as well and down 16lbs. Having refried beans now for dinner. They are delish!

I just had some refried beans. They are delish! I'm doing better this week. Was having a hard time trying to get all my liquids in. But everyday is getting better.

Lol I just bought the big can from Sams Club

My Dr seemed to only do them if you had reflux prior to getting sleeved. He wanted to check out the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum prior to surgery to make sure you had no problems. Bc reflux can get worse with the sleeve. At least that's what my surgeon told me.

You will do great! It's a piece of cake.

I was sleeved on 12/10 and just went back to work today. Do you sit at a cubicle? If so it shouldn't be to hard to bring your lunch. I get on purees Thursday and it will still be a little hard to hide that but for the most part I don't get bothered too much during the day. I also didn't tell anyone at work as I work with about 700 people and don't really want everyone knowing my business. In time I'm sure I will tell people. But for now it's just close family and friends.

What did they give you, augementin? I get bronchitis and lots of sinus infections and always get a strong antibiotic if needed. Didn't think about it doing a number on my tummy. I do know that the lortab that they gave me my sleeve doesn't like that at all.

I'm not a Dr but those look infected. I would definitely get in to see him right away. Feel better!

prayers to you. every day will get better and better! good luck.

Definitely call your dr to be safe but I was told that the estrogen in the fat cells can really screw with your period. As you loose weight that estrogen gets released. To some it can toy with your menstrual cycle. I know the change in eating habits I started prior to the preop liquid diet made my period come a week early. Then I got it again 4 days postop and two weeks early. It last 2 days longer than normal. So i do think that the stress of surgery plus the estrogen csn effect us. But again only your dr can answer that for sure. Good luck!

Awe sweetie. Hang in there. I can only imagine how hard this is. But stay positive for both you and that beautiful baby of yours. I hope your have a very merry Christmas. I know its not ideal just keep reminding yourself your in good hands. Keep us posted. <3

That sounds a bit odd. Although I was in for a longer time bc of swelling in my sleeve. I had two leak tests and was in Monday through Thursday night.

the dissolvable prevacid is a prescription. you can probably get over the counter and crush it up. but i would definitely consult your doctor first. hope you feel better soon!

I do but like I said it only hurts when I touch the area. It's not a constant pain. I just took my lortab to see if it makes it feel any better. And yes. I did have a stone or two that were not problematic prior to surgery. I didn't know I had them until the ultrasound. And I did read that some get stones and end up having bladder removed after sleeve. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but I will definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks!
