Can see a Dr and get any type or liquid narcotic ? I was Lortap for the first weeks,or you can take liquid tylenol as well. Is hard to drink at the beginning but it gets better.

CONGRATS!!! I am so excited for you,WoW 100 lbs!! You are doing awesome!!! You look amazing!!

Hello just checking in I had 1 month post op appointment today, 3 days early because I will be 1 months this wednesday 23rd So far so good. 32 lbs lost since pre op liquid diet,54 lbs to go to reach goal, I am working out 3 times per week, I am doing treadmill and the elliptical I am officially in a stage 4 diet,I can eat pretty much everything soft How is everybody doing???

Ok so I am 3 weeks post op and I know still to early to eat 'bread'.I want to avoid bread or tortillas for as long I can. I used loved bread like many of you lol. But sometimes I crave a toast . When did you start adding whole bread to your diet or wheat tortillas? What about tortilla chips? I am assuming maybe after 3 months post op? TIA

Awesome,Thanks!!! I will try my best to avoid bread =) I know is for my well being

oopss i just posted something similar here now and I just saw this. I think there is a lot of iPhone/ smart phones apps where you can see the calories on each meal before ordering in Chili's or other restaurants. My favorite apps are "fast food calories" ,"Dotti's Food Score"

A nurse from my clinic told me that the first thing I need to do when I go out to eat to a restaurant is to ask for to go box when they bring you the food in that way you will remove all the food you won't eat and just leave in the plate whatever you are able to eat =). Don't worry about the waiter's I seen a lot of people doing that ( asking for a to go box first before they start eating ) I am sure you will get use it

You CAN do it =) I am going to the gym now too =)

I agree with the comments above,try to keep your self busy,this process is not easy. Keep calm I hope they call you soon. Best of luck to you. And wohoo you are in Brownsville Not too far from san Antonio I guess

Great I almost had a whole boiled egg today I ate most of it and later I felt my tummy was too full,and I started burping Never again lol that was my entire lunch!!! lol

Congrats on your amazing job!!! keep it up

I am 3 weeks post op and I been stuck in the same weight 187-188 for a week now. I know is still early but I was losing weight fast before when I was on the liquid diet Now that I started my mushies, I am not losing weight at all Is this normal? I am having my Protein shakes daily and eating my protein first before I try any mashed potatoes or something else. I can eat 2-3 tsp at once for each meal. I am not having Snacks Just my Protein Shakes as snacks and Water. I started going to the gym and just walking in the treadmill for now, I am taking it easy since I am only 3 weeks out. What I can do? I am getting frustrated and I am trying my best not to weight myself daily. PS I know many people asked these questions but I needed to vent

Thanks longer life how you been? damn i see your ticker moving like crazy!! Congrats!!! geno,awesome I will try gas x strips, is is beneful pills? where I can get that? TIA

Thank you so much all for all your support @ apebrown ,protein drinks are important now for us,have you tried to make your own with vanilla or chocolate powders? I make my own Protein shakes and they are yummy oh and I love my mushies too I did 4 weeks of liquids

You are going to be fine. I have GERD and my reflux is pretty bad. Is controlled now with Nexium. I still dealing with the gas and the belching but I am sure it will go away with the time. My surgeon wanted a RYN for me instead the sleeve and I convinced him that the sleeve wad for me I love the sleeve so dealing with a bit of reflux here and there is ok with me as long in controlled with meds. I suggest you to talk to gastroenterologist better than your surgeon,it's what I did and he said that my reflux won't go away but improves after any type of weight loss program or surgery Good luck!
