GEAUX SAINTS

Congratulations my date is feb 5

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to join you on 'the other side' next Thursday. Keep us posted!

Isn't it fantastic! I also had no issues when I came home and haven't had problems with any food items as I've added them back. Best wishes for a continued smooth recovery ????

Awesome!

Good to hear, I go in wed. Next week.

Good to know. Last night my arms started to break out in itchy hives. I wanted to take some Benydryl. I just dissolved some in flavored water and took it that way

I'm not having any problems drinking anything! People are so different. Yesterday, my 1st full day home, I drank 80oz of liquid, including 48mg of Protein powder. I'm definitely gonna get that much in today...probably more! My doc told me to drink as much as I can tolerate because liquids won't stretch the stomach. Thank God for that. Good luck to you!

Stone Cold Sleeve Austin

I call mine Justin, cause it is "bringing skinny back" LOL!

I guess everyone's different. I'm 3 days out and can, literally, drink anything. Yesterday (my first full day home), for example, I drank 78oz, including a Protein Drink. I do have some gas, nothing I can't live with. My doc said drink as much as you want since liquid doesn't stretch the sleeve. I've already consumed 44oz today and it's only passed noon! Good luck to you as you head towards you goal!!!

You know what a good idea!!! This may be the key to lighten up the misery at times. Good idea. Now I have to come up with a name!!

Sleevie Wonder...don't judge!! LOL!!!

Wow....I'm the opposite. I cant get enough liquids.

Just got my date...February 3rd!!! That's one short week!!! So excited!

Getting excited! Anyone else on the 3rd? I am ready to get this show I on the road.

Walk, walk, walk!!!

Just got my date...February 3rd!!! One week!! Go me!!!

Personally, I find that my overweight friends and family think it's "ridiculous" that I'm doing this. On the other hand, my thin friends and family are all for it. I understand that I'm not THAT big. I'm a lap-band conversion. I kept my weight off for 8 years and then began having problems with the band itself. In 2011 we had to stop using it. As a result, I have gained 40+ pounds. If I continue to gain 10 pounds a year, I'll be in BIG trouble a couple of years!!! I don't care what anyone else says...it's a done deal, or it will be in a couple of weeks!

@@Katie, I know more people who have gained all their weight back, and more, after bypass then by sleeve! Plus, I would also not want to be on supplements for the rest of my life!!! Just a thought!
