Thanks. Yesterday and today I absolutely "normal". Big relief!

Oops *post-op*

Three and a half weeks plug-in, and I'm feeling good. However, I am always nauseous - even the thought of water can make me feel sick. Anyone else in this position??

You took the words right out of my mouth! If a friend asked me my opinion, I would recommend the sleeve over the band BUT do research and talk to your surgeon. You'll figure out what is best for you.

I feel your pain! I went back to work yesterday (only 5 hours) and I had to call out today. I slept from 7:30-3:00!!! I couldn't believe how hard it hit me. Good luck to you!

I'm doing really well. Tomorrow marks two weeks from surgery and I have been cleared for soft foods. However, I am experiencing diarrhea often. It's usually after protein shakes but not always always. I'm not taking in sugar and I'm getting my liquids in. Anyone else have this problem??

I did mine at the same time. My band slipped back in June and I waited over 2 months for my insurance to cover the revision surgery. Once they approved, I scheduled my surgery. Had it on the 11th with an overnight stay in the hospital. I am so glad it is all said and done!

Well, we always say every doctor is different; every body is too!

The only thing i've ever heard about a straw is that you can take in too much air. I never used a straw after my lap band but I have with my sleeve - no troubles either time!

You aren't alone (obviously)! I am 10 days post-op; I'm supposed to move to soft foods 10-14 days and I've had some soft foods. I ate a few bites of refried beans and I had some Mac n cheese too. I'm not a Dr but just go slow and don't beat yourself up!

Wow! I've never been under 200 as an adult so I really have no idea what weight my body will be "right" as. I can't imagine being under size 10! Exciting to think about

6ft tall female with long torso and long legs. I hope for a 10 but really have no clue. I'm size 16/18 now. Love to hear from other tall women!

I don't think anyone had encouraged anyone to move faster. Nearly all the posts have said to rely on Dr's advice. My post just shared what I did; I definitely would never give advice in place of Dr

I am on Day 7 and supposed to be on "full liquids" for 10-14 days. However, yesterday I had some refried beans and today I had a runny scrambled egg. I needed something extra. I am definitely not going overboard. I know myself. I see my surgeon Monday and I'll tell him and see what he says. Maybe I can move onto soft foods sooner.

My problem will be Friday - when all the candy is on sale! Planning to stay away from stores this weekend, lol
