Well I actually had surgery in September. The gas can really be something else. I have a injured foot and it was a little hard for me to get up and move around, but move around if nothing but walking in the yard as much as possible. moving pushes the gas out and makes it easier to drink your fluids in the beginning.

Thank you for the support, yes when I went to my group class last week to talk about the foods that we should and should not have when starting solid food my nutrionist/dietician advised us to stay away from all soft breads for not until we were three months out She did say that toast would be fine and I have had toast on several occasions and did not experience any problems. We were also advised that we could not eat anything crunchy right now including pickles, lettuce, any raw vegetables, or fruit with the skin on it. I was a little dissappointed in this. I actually enoy eating salads.

Great job!!! Keep up the good work

I had my first post op appointment today. I had alot of questions and as far as the scale goes I didnt know what to expect. Ive lost 17pds in three weeks. My one month anniversary is the 17th. I am able to pretty much eat anything that I want just small portions at a time. I dont have any trouble with keeping my food down or anything like that. I wanted to share this news with someone but I wanted to expess it with someone that would appeciate it.
Good luck all
Everyday truely gets better.

My doctor name is Dr. Tarquotti and he is here in Durham North Carolina. I have heard alot of good things about him from his colleagues and people in the medical industry have told me good things about him.

WOW The irony of your nurses name and your tattoo. Well I am happy for your success. I have had surfery in the past for differernt things and I was nervous about this surgery the morning of, but I prayed about it because I felt as though I was making the right decision. I orginally wanted the lapband but my doctor advsed that the sleeve or full gastic would be a better option for me and choose to go with the sleeve. I read one of your other posts and it will get better how much you can drink and eat. I find that i can drink alot more Water at one time than I could a week ago and I am able to actually eat food. I had some tuna last week ( i wasnt supposed to but i did and i had no problem) I actually ate a whole can.
