flipflop

This is the feeling I get when I take that one bite too many. Not very comfortable!

I'm four weeks tomorrow and my scale just started moving again! Stalled for two weeks!

My nine day stall began at the end of week two! Just started moving again yesterday. I asked my surgeon about at yesterday's post op visit and he assured me that it is normal.

I had to fill out an intake form my first visit with a list of diets and when I tried them. I really had to "guesstimate". It feels like I was always on some diet or another. I don't think they will deny you based on this, it really isn't something they can prove or disprove.

Applesauce was the first thing I liked too! Mine were off the first week, but I was released to full liquids/mushies from day three. My normal tastes already seem to be coming back. I couldn't stand canned soups, so I had to make my own. I think it will get better.

I was on pain meds the first week. I felt like I could walk around more and breathe more deeply with the meds. I think this is normal. The second week I felt so much better. Today is day 21 for me, week three I feel pretty normal! So hang in there, it does get better!

It is soooo hard for me too!

I also had my toes done. I had nothing on my fingers though. At one point I had an Oxygen sensor on each hand

I'm right there with you guys! Day 18 and I haven't really lost anything in a week!

I'm two weeks out now. I lost about 15 pounds the first week, and only 2 the second. Your body will even itself out I think : )

You look wonderful!

My surgery was July 27 and I started feeling normal again about two weeks out. The hard part about feeling normal again is you really have to be careful not to overdo things. My husband has to keep reminding me not to lift over 10 pounds, etc...

Thanks for the topic, I'm headed back to work Monday too! Great question! Thanks DEZ for the ideas!

That is awesome! Absolute difference!

Oh yes, I've been dealing with the itchies too!

When I had breast surgery my surgeon told me to use maxi pads. Great call Foxbins! I think it would work for this too.

Congrats! I've been hovering around 202 for about 5 days now! I know that must be a good feeling to get those 2's behind you : )

I have been drinking out of the 8oz cups too! You are right, it just feels more "do-able".

That is great! Proud for you!

I'm not sure if this is a common side effect of the surgery, but for the past few days I have been crying at the drop of a hat! I'm not walking around depressed or anything, just will full on sob at the smallest things! Could this be surgery related?

Prilosec did not work for me, but Protonix did. I wasn't able to keep anything down until my doctor changed me to the Protonix. Maybe you could ask for another kind or dose of PPI? I'm very sorry about your work situation. I've had a job that I hated and it was rough! I love my job now, but still dreading Monday. Praying things get better for you!

You look great! And, congrats on your fitness accomplishments! How long have you been sleeved?

I'm day 9 also, but I can only have mushy foods. I can eat about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup at a time, but that really just started yesterday. I'm mostly eating thick soups and re-fried beans.

Glad to know I'm not alone : ) It does seem to start just as I get full! I've had the runny nose too, but did not make the connection. Thanks for the feedback!

I am 9 days post op today and every time I eat or drink a protein shake I get the hiccups! This is miserable...has anyone else experienced this?
