When was your surgery date. I heard you can take biotin for hair growth

Thank you for that info. I need some variety if im gonna make it 2 more wks

I go to the puree stage for 1 - 2 wks and then to soft foods. I have 2 more wks on liquids, so ready for some solids and something to chew

My dr said full liquids for 6 wks postop to make sure my pouch is fully healed. It is very hard, if you count the 2 wk preop liquid diet that is 2 months on liquids. I am down 34 pounds since my surgery april 29th

Yes, I am thirsty as well and my throat feels swollen. I thought it was my acid reflux meds so I quit taking it and it seems better. I cant believe I am on full liquids for 6 wks post op. So ready for puree'd

Look at the thread april 2013 facebook group. I don't get on fb very often but the lady that set it up, her name is khloe. Hope that helps

I love eggs too, cannot wait until I can have them. Looking forward to pureed tuna as well. Anything besides liquid!!

That sounds like alot. I was sleeved on the 29th and am on liquids for 2 wks

Mine is on my right side. I am glad you mentioned taking pain meds before going to the dr.

Thanks for the info. It has been in since last monday and I get it removed tues.

Speaking of the drain pouch, how do they remove it. Do they just pull it out and what about the hole left afterwards? I cant wait for it to be removed.

Do you take pepcid everyday. I have a prescription my doc gave me to take 2 times a day. Maybe that would help your chest pain/indegestion

I am 4 days post op and bought the sampler pkg from bjs bariatrics. I mixed the carribean cooler with water as it said to do and it was disgusting. Does anyone know anything good to try?

Postop day 4, doing pretty good for the most part. I tried to drink an optifast protein shake and it gave me horrible diarrhea. Cant wait to get this drain tube out as well.

I am a kansas girl as well. Sleeved on 4/29
