1 years has passed since you registered at VerticalSleeveTalk! Happy 1st Anniversary Mariacarolina!

YAY.................40lb and counting!

I'm feeling great, specially because people are starting to notice a change . I do get a little hungry sometimes but i junst take a couple sips of protein shake and I'm good to go. I am due to start with egg beaters and mash potatos this week and as mucho as i want to eat things with more consistency im afraid to stall or to not feel restriction. Let me know that your nut says in your next visit.

Hi MaCarolina -- I don't feel hunger at all!! I eat when I'm supposed to, but I often forget what time it is and then don't realize I've missed one of my liquid meals until an hour later. I am getting bored with what I"m eating and I don't see my nutritionist for 3 more days. I guess I'll just have to hang on! I don't know what size boogie I got -- I should ask my dr.

How are you feeling? Are you feeling any hunger?

Hi Juliarh,

Congrats on your surgery and im glad you are feeling OK. I had surgery on Sep 10th and also had a bad reaction to the anesthesia for a couple of days. Do you feel hunger at all? What size boogie did you get? I'll be great if you could share some of waht you are going thru.

Best of luck and keep me posted.

Hi Chris!

Im back and feeting a lot better. The first two days were bad; gas pains were horrible and i always do bad with anesteshia so i through up a lot. After that it was progressibly better every day. I have to swalow my words about the lady that took care of me. She was great, very sweet and helpful. Im back to work today and drinking 4 oz broth or protein shakes every 3 hours.

How are you doing????????????? What are you eating now, you are about a month out, right.

Hi Carolina, I hope all is well with you. Have you learned how to make a sweater yet...lol

Good luck tomorrow! You will be sleeping alot so she will not have time teach you how to sew. =)

I am glad you r doing better and yes pizza sound really good.

Yep. Going alone. I will be staying at my dad girlfriend's aunt house (LOL). Needles to say I do not know these people and when i talked to the lady yesterday on the phone she said she will teach me to knit while i recover. Not to be ungreatefull (plus i am paying her) but the least i want is somebody taking to me and in my face all the time. I just want to sleep and read in peace and quiet so i recover as fast as posible.

I really dont want to sound mean; Is probably the stupid liquid diet!!!!!!

I'm off on Thursday and feel like backing out!

Hi Mariacarolina

We live about an hour from Valencia, and love the city! I got my sleeve done there, and costwise it was about 15,000 euros, plus pre op tests.

i worked out if I had gone back to England it would have been about the same price anyway as flights and staying somewhere whilst there etc.....but I was very happy with the hospital and surgeon here in Spain.

We've been here for 7.5yrs now and love it.

Feel free to ask any more questions if I can help!

Hi Sparkle,

I just read somewhere that you live in Valencia . Well my husband is from Valencia and I've been there several times visiting his family. May i ask how much did you pay for you sleeve? How do you like Spain?

Would love to hear your stories......You look fantastic!!!

Hi, Ok today is my two week mark. I feel much better and not as weak. The first week was hell. Every time I drank water or ate jello it hurt in my sternum area. warm stuff feels much better. I have head hunger =( I really want pizza. Thanks for the Doc info. Im going to check into him. Even though Im not have any problems. I still want a check up. Are you going alone? Keep me posted.
