  1. this is normal! i went back to work after 3 weeks, and my pants were STILL too tight. i refused to buy new ones in a larger size. i wore big shirts & would unbutton my jeans LOL!
  2. i was sleeved on 5/24. it took me over a week to go to the bathroom. it will happen. i think that everything you're feeling is normal. i ate whole popcicles--a lot of them. they tasted better that anything else. also, my incision pain was horrible, but it gets better every day. i am still sore, and i am 3 weeks out. it will get better!
  3. i was sleeved on the same day as you. i had my period about a week after my surgery. it was actually lighter than normal. my nurse told me that my period might be out-of-whack for a while. i don't think that you should worry. good luck.
  4. i just finished making shrimp salad a few minutes ago. so good! last week, i boiled a handful of shrimp & brought them to work for lunch.
  5. i was sleeved on 5/24. i have been having a hard time, too (not as bad as you, though). i throw up every other day or so. i know that it will get better, and i hope your new meds work for you soon. good luck.
  6. Yay! Congratulations. I've been sleeved for two weeks...can't wait to see you on the other side!
  7. How can you tell that you've eaten enough? Is it when you belch? This sounds crazy, but I don't know when to stop. I feel restriction about halfway through my meal, and I think that there's no way that my stomach is that small...so I eat until it hurts. I am in no way over eating--my meals are 1/4 to 1/2 a cup. Any advice??
  8. Yay for you! Congratulations on your loss!
  9. How does the Sam's brand taste??? Any good?
  10. I thought the same thing!
  11. sounds so good! i'm about to start breads too-can't wait to try this
  12. Someone just told me that you can buy Protein pills!! No more shakes??? Am I missing something here? Surely there's a REASON why you guys are not talking about this... If you know something, please speak up before I go out and buy some!!
  13. Hey guys, I was sleeved last week, 5/24. I have been battling something...I guess it's acid?? Feels like "hot vapors" are coming up my esophagus. It happens a-lot, especially after I eat. Has anyone else experienced this?? It is really making me NOT want to eat or drink
