I had a reduction 3 weeks after my sleeve and I am so glad I did! My girls may shrink, but they are staying where they belong. No knee knockers for me!

Hi Pixie! I slept in the recliner for a week. It really was the most comfortable position for me. As far as liquids, get in whatever you can. I sipped on warm tea, which was really soothing. Check that you are allowed it first (some doctors are different). I promise it'll get better. Also, take those meds right on schedule as long as you need them. Good luck!

You are one lucky girl...I have about 4-5 pair of jean shorts. All are stretchy and size 18. Interested????

Hi all,,
I am in need of size 16 and smaller pants, dressy and casual, and XL and smaller shirts. Does anyone have anything avaialble?
Thanks,

I am sooooo confused. Lost 26 pounds in less than a month and not happy....exactly what were you expecting? Did your doctor promise you you'd wake up from surgery looking like Kate Moss?

Hi all!
I am 6 weeks post op and am having serious troubles with the chewable viatmins. They taste terrible and I don't know how much longer I can handle it. Does anyone know when I can start taking Vitamin pills? I am allowed to take my meds in pills form, but I wasn't sure about the Vitamins.< /p>
Thanks for your help!!

My NUT told me that if I have to chew, it's not pureed. It can be thicker than liquid, and include things that you grind up. You can puree meat in broth to eat now. Hope this helps.

I had my 2 week post op appointment today with my surgeon. it went really well. he said i can now graduate officially to Stage 2 of the diet and I will be on that for the next 4 weeks
I decided to the post the foods i'm allowed just in case anyone else is that the same stage in their journey as me. we can share and compare!
Double bonus of the day: I exchanged a pair of pants that got a hole in them and in return got 3 new shirts and another pair of pants. Woohoo!!!
According to my Surgeons scale i was 312 day of surgery ( i honestly don't think they weighed me) because my PCP's scale and my scale at home said 307. I think they went off my pre op weight appointment. Today I was 294. So my surgeon says i've lost 18 since surgery and I cant argue but I'm not going by his numbers lol.
