I'm 4 weeks post op....I can only eat very little ( one hard boiled egg, 2 oz. of lean meat, 1/2 cup chili) however I find I'm able to drink a lot more. Thankfully , because I need to et more fluids in. In the beginning it was hard to even take a few sips.

So glad this was asked!! I have a white sweater tongue and stinky breath! Thanks ketosis!

I'm a little over 2 weeks post op. mine first week and a half the weight flew off me....I lost 16 lbs in just 8 days. Now I seemed to have lost nothing in 4 days. What gives? Any tips on how to get out of this??

What you are experiencing is completely normal and will pass- promise. We, I should say 95% of us, hit plateaus throughout our weight loss. Please check out this link that a member, butterthebean, on here has on his signature- it made me feel better when the scale wasn't moving. But be patient- you will lose. Promise! http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

It goes away give it a few more days to a week. That was the hardest part for me.

1) i crave buffalo wings, and super high salty things....i definetly increase my Water intake at this time and watch my ps and qs
2) i crave sweets but make my sugar free substitutes to help curb the craving
3) aunt flow is not as heavy as before
4) baby commercials make me ball my eyes out
5) i get extremely horny but still celibate

It is a mouth full of saliva when you eat too much or too fast. There is also the worst stuck food pain that occurs for the same reason. It is worst when you start on solids and figure out how to eat sleeve-right. For me, months 2-4 was a lot of sliming because I always ate too fast. After 5 months, my sleeve healed enough that even eating too fast did not cause sliming. Thank goodness.
However, I developed and intuitive sense to when I felt satisfied versus full. Try and satisfy your hunger and not make it a goal to eat to being full. It will take time for you to learn this skill. However, once you do develop the skill, it will take you a long ways towards a lifetime of healthy eating with others and when you are alone. You will have a peaceful relationship with eating food and be able to enjoy the intricate details of tastes and smells.

Sorry fyre, I was so sure it was connected to nickelodeon, thanks for confirming my suspicions

Hey everyone!
I'm 8 days post surgery today! I feel great and I'm dropping weight fast, yahoo!
My incisions are still sore but I'm able to get around fine and I'm totally functional. For those who had steri strips how long we're these on for?
I'm also sipping constantly and my new tummy lets me know when a sip was too big! I'm going to be moving from full liquids to the next stage, probably puréed foods? On Wednesday. Any good tips for puréed foods? I'm excited to have more than clear fluids, Jello, pudding, and Protein shakes!
Thanks!

January 22! I can't wait!

My surgery is also the 22nd!! I can't wait!

I got a date! January 22! I have a ton of appointments from now until then but I don't care, I'm just so excited! Waiting on insurance approval now....

Good luck George!!! I would do anything just to have a surgery date, so i'm super jealous. All you MGH'ers.....how long did the whole process take? they seem to be pretty busy so I was curious what the timeline was like for some of you....
