LOL the song from Rocky for before and I just wanna fly by sugar ray for after hehe this is fun:)

I get that too but usually from taking big bite of something. the only thing i can think is maybe you ate something that irritated your sleeve and its a little swelled so when you eat/swallow you feel that. If your very concerned contact your Doc good luck and I hope you feel better

I made my daughter get up on the dinning room chair then up on the table and lay down, The table was level to my waist so it made it very easy to change her, Good luck

I have 3 young children, youngest was 2 when I had surgery 3 weeks ago. You will definently need help ,I did because my daughter wanted to be held but I couldnt hold her. My Doc said 6 weeks also, she weighs 30 Lbs so add five lbs each week after surgery (wk one you can lift 5 lbs, week two 10 lbs...).I also froze meals before surgery so it was easier on others and stocked up on mac and cheese , PBJ and got stirofoam cups plates ,bowls,plastic spoons so clean up would be easy. Good luck make sure yor protein is ready for week 1 that was the hardest part for me( and getting enough liquid in). unjury.com has chicken flavored protein that is allowed in the clear liquids stage it tastes pretty good. wish you the best.

Hello, I got sleeved 20th decmber 2012. according to my Doc weight gain means your eating to many carbs and/or not exercising enough. 80 lb is amaizing great job:) get protein in first then vegies, carbs last. have 3 meals a day with healthy snacks in between. calorie intake should be 600 to 800 calories a day when your at goal weight you should never exceed 1200 a day, unless you go below target weight. I got all this info from the book my doctor gave me. Good luck I wish you the best, shrug it off and start a new day you can do it

before surgery: 288 DOS: 276 Today: 264.4 Goal:214

Great job! Your not the only one I have a suit case filled with jeans and tops that dont fit me yet...Ive had them there for about 6 years congrats on your success keep the good work up

what flavor crystal light do you mix with the unflavored protein? I mixed it with peach it was horrible

What are some good protein shots?

I did the same thing!!! I ate at every restaurant I new I wasn't gonna eat at for a while after surgery,sushi ,burgers,pizza,milkshakes, Chinese.. I stopped 1 week before my 10 day pre op diet so I wouldn't completely freak out when I started the liquid pre op diet... but I ended up going to a chinese buffet and checkers the day before my liquid diet LOL.. yes its normal have fun, but prepare your self mentally for it good luck

Thank you and good luck to you too
