Thank you ALL so much for your advise.... Pills~ I take daily meds and I was crushing them because I didn't think I would ever be able to swallow pills again but at my post Op appointment the Dr. said if they are not bigger than a dime they were fine to swallow. I do take chewable Vitamins. No pain meds havent needed any of that since day 5. I'd like to know how you guys know you are full. I was almost able to eat an entire can of cream Soup today (Dr. okayed) and was shocked not to feel bloated uncomfortable or really even full. I am able to drink all my Protein with no problem and 60oz of Water a day. I never eat and drink at the same time. I am still drinking Isopure because I hate all those other nasty Protein drinks THAT I HAVE SPENT SOME MUCH MONEY ON I know some of you think Im doing too much but thats just me Im a go getter I like to be in control LIke to take care of myself and my 4 kids. My hubby had to go back to work 2 days after I got out of the hospital so I really didn't have a choice. I think getting up and going has helped me heal faster and lose as much weight as I have already. I was cleared to start water fitness starting Monday and I cant wait to get back to the gym!!! Once again thank you all for responding to my post

Well I've been sleeved for 11 days now and it doesn't even feel like it. My life was totally back to normal (running my 4 kids to their sports, graduations and karate testing) by day 5 oh and was at my daughter's graduation the day after the hospital Crazy I know Im so hungry I feel like I can eat my house. Im down 20 pounds and have followed the diet but due to my Dr going on vacation he had to see me only 1 week post op instead of 2 weeks and said I can already move onto mushy foods. I dont feel any different I feel I could woof down a hamburger the only thing stopping me if fear of pain. I am already swallowing all my pills and ready to start excersicing on Monday. Why do I feel so hungry?? why do I feel like I never even had 3/4 of my stomach removed???? :001_rolleyes::confused1::biggrin0::confused1:

5 days out and my throat feels like it's closing up on me. Help. It burns to bad to take the pain meds and I hate all protein lol. Not in a great state of mind any advise??

This Tuesday June 8th is my surgery. I can believe it Im hoping all goes well today is my first day of clear liquids and I'v been doing ok just really wanted to have that "last supper" a huge steak and potato but never did. Tomorrow I contiune clear liquids and start my bowel prep FUN.. Tuesday I am to arrive at the hospital 9am. Wish me luck

June 8 and for some reason Im finding myself not eating right and craving all sugary things. I dont have to do a pre-op liquid diet (except for 2 days) so I feel like eating everything in sight before Sunday. Is anyone else having these same feelings. also this is the first week in 6 months I didnt go to the gym I have to get my head on straight. Randi

I LOVE ZUMBA I take Zumba at my gym and it has HELPED me get my pre-op weight off.

looking for suggestions to take to the hospital. being sleeved June 8th surgery time moved up from 2pm to 11am!!!!!!!

Thank you all so very much for all your advise. I have just put my mind to it and told myself I can do it. She is my youngest of 4 and dont want to miss out on anything my kids do. I'll make sure to get plenty of rest before and have my husband drive. Thanks again Randi
