If you weren't willing to follow your doctor's orders why would you have such a drastic surgery?? We aren't supposed to use straws because excess air will stretch our sleeves out. Why not go ahead and have a soda with that straw? You're kidding yourself if you think using a straw decreases the amount of air you take in.

I'm at week four and have hit a stall. BUT I'm NOT letting it upset me! I know that I've done the right thing! We are in the middle of moving so my exercise time is limited. Once we are settled two weeks from now, I've already found a yoga studio and mapped out my walking route in the new neighborhood!

It ain't fun! BUT it's def a learning moment! LOL!

Yikes. It finally happened. I took the one bite too many and ended up throwing up. I KNEW when I ate the last bite when I was hurting I was making a mistake and I did it anyway. HUGE mistake. Lesson learned.

I'm sitting here on three weeks worried that I'm able to hold more in my stomach than I should. I feel like I may be just worrying for nothing but that fear is still there.

I don't like the search function. I use it but it links to the beginning of a thread and often I've had to sift through page after page of stuff before I find my answer. Now, I may be using it incorrectly.

My NUT said I could have eggs on smushy part as long as they are smushed! Im LOVING them. Made egg salad & eating the scrambled. NOM NOM!

poncagal- I had a scopalmine patch, phenergen cream, zofran and phenergen IV and still threw up. My and anesthesia don't mix apparently. I didn't know it was possible for a human to throw up that much with an empty stomach. It was terrible BUT once the nausea finally passed its been worth it.

I agree with Sunshine. Stay off the scale! I had about two days where it didn't go down and one where it went UP! I made myself stop weighing here. Weighed at the MD today and am planning on weighing on Wednesday mornings only for now. I don't want the numbers to freak me out!

I had my 2 week postop visit today AND got to start mushy stuff. Who knew egg salad was SO delicious! LOL! I also scrambled an egg for lunch and smooshed a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Swiss in it. Even yummier than the egg salad. But can barely finish an egg. It's crazy. I'm learning to listen to my body. I ate supper to fast tonight and OUCH! It felt like fast trapped in my ribs on both sides. Lesson learned! I go back to work tomorrow. NOT looking forward to it. I'm still getting tired super easy so I'm a little nervous. Glad everyone seems to be doing well! Has anyone started exercising yet? The doc said I could start and I'm gonna start tomorrow!

I realized 98% of my "hunger" was in my head.
