try taking smaller sips...focus on getting the liquid in. In the beginning that's all I did. I would spend an hour to an hour and a half to drink one protein drink....I only walked until I got the drink in before doing something else. It's easy to forget to drink.

I think if it was a fracture it would be in pain all the time. does it ease up after you move around some?

call your dr/nut and ask. maybe make sure you get your fluids in and go back to doing protein shakes for a while and slowly introduce food again. hope all goes well

yayyyyy! Now walk and sip and walk and sip......when the doctor clears you for drinking

Yep, I've had it happen a couple of times....you'd think I'd learn, but sometimes the food goes down too easy that I end up eating one bite too much. I'll eventually get this eating thing down...

remember to get in at least 8 cups of fluids. I think it will help with the headaches. I'm in VA and have Kaiser insurance. The surgeon is affiliated with Kaiser but not a Kaiser doctor. I only had one week od high protein and clear liquid diet....good luck with yours

Does it make a clear broth? I have no idea what that soup is like.

Sorry to hear this...I hope you get well soon.

I was very fortunate that my hubby was supportive....just not about going to mexico for it...luckily my insurance covers it. I've had a smooth recovery. He knows I want plastic surgery afterwards because I have an apron and the girls are running south. I just told him the sleeve was part one and plastics is part two....he just laughed

make sure your getting more than enough fluids and change up your exercise routine or add exercise if not doing any. I walk at least 5 miles a day and occasionally I do less or more so my body doesn't get use to a routine...good luck

Mine was for a week as follows: high Protein shakes (up to 6/day) and Clear liquids only: Protein Shakes - atkins, slimfast lower carb, boost glucose control or carnation instant Breakfast --- I bought Premier Protein shakes from costco, it has 30grams of protein Clear liquids - sugar free drinks, crystal light, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and broth Soups

look up

I've gotten it occasionally but not to the point where I can't walk. I just start out slowly and let the foot warm up then I no longer feel it. maybe a hot foot soak would be good for it. good luck with it

lol...at first I thought there was nothing missing from the plate til I enlarged the image

Me thinks you were wearing the wrong size clothes prior to surgery and that's why you haven't gone down a size yet But your right...I don't feel lighter, but know I am. I am doing okay...working my way into soft foods....had some fish today and took a bite too many. Still trying to learn what that full feeling is like.

looking good!

also try making sure you get your 8 cups of fluids a day.

are you getting in 60-80 grams of protein and drinking at least 8 cups of water?

hope your surgery went well and praying you have a speedy recovery

Prayers to all sleevers today and may you all have a speedy recovery

hope your surgery went smoothly and you have a speedy recovery....welcome to the lighter side.

I did ground turkey with taco seasoning with refried beans.....check out food and nutrition threads

Oh, I sure do understand since I suffer from depression. My hubby and kids suffered also because of my depression. I've been on meds since 2006 I think. I'm also a binge eater too with the depression. If i were in your situation, I would take care of the depression first. I think it'll put you in a better frame of mind for wls since it's a big commitment on your part and you definitely want your 'A' game.....good luck

don't...I was like that also and hit a stall my second week and it broke recently. you body needs time to adjust to the drastic change. good luck
