No milk?
Milk bothers me also. I went to soy milk and it still felt heavy on my stomach, so now I do almond milk. It taste just as good as any of the other milks, or it does to me.

soy milk
I tired soy in mine. Soy was still to heavy for my stomach. I switch to blue diamond almond milk. It is not as heavy on the stomach. I still wish I could find something lighter than the almond milk,

What did you do when you were scared post-surg?
I dont regret mine at all. I no longer need and diabetes med. I was on insulin 3 times day. Sugar still run extremely high. The day of surgery my sugar was 301 today it barely runs between 87- 100. My liver had fatty liver disease that was turning to cirrhosis from fat. I have alot more energy. I am able to exercise, walk, clean house and I don't tire as easy, I also don't get short of breathe. Different ones are always complimenting on how good I look. I am 9 weeks post op I have lost around 53 pounds. I have dropped from a 24 in jeans to a 16. I have went from 3x - 4 x shirts to lg-xlg shirts. You will like it after you have it done. I got scared the last week. It is almost pain free surgery or was for me. Nothing worse than a cramp. Yes walk all you can, it keeps soreness down.

Jumped ahead in the post-op diet.......
I went to cream soups the next day after coming home. I couldnt do the baby food, or the purred foods. I couldnt stand the texture. So I went to cream soups then chopped and a few days later small bites. I eat what I want except I dont eat sweets or carbonated drinks, vegetable soup is the only thing that has made me sick and that was a few nights ago. I am 9 weeks post op. My Dr told me I was doing great and that I should be able to eat what I want.

Depo shot after the sleeve
I took a hormone shot after my surgery and I stalled for 3 weeks which was long enough to start getting the hormones out of the body. So needless to say Is topped taking my hormone shot.

How dis your marriage change after your sleeve?
My husband has been very supportive through this. He has babied me all the way. Now he can't keep his hands to his self. He always touching me. He also tells me how pretty and how he don't care what I weigh he loves me. When we met and married I was skinny. I had a hysterectomy 4 years after we married and I blew up. Now I am 2 months post op and on my way to being skinny again. With a wonderful husband of fixing to be 20 years.

I have felt weak and like **** all day.
