I am on puree diet right now but I am only really eating greek yogurt and only half plus my protein shakes and water

So I had this green stuff again this morning and I even took and pic of it to let people know I am not making it up! I have a call into the doctor already but its his surgery day so I might be waiting awhile! Thanks everyone for your support

I have to wait til my fourth week to take that medicine. I do have it but was told to take it after 4 weeks. I dont know if its bile i thought maybe just an infection or something but he said it could be bile!! I have another appointment on the 22 nd and so i will see.

Had my post op appointment today and i lost 15 lbs. Why is my head telling me it should be more??? The doctor said i was doing good but still feel bad. I walk each day and get my protein and some water too but i dont know!! Plus now another med he gave me because at night and morning i am still coughing up green stuff ever since leaving the hospital. He said it could be bile and i just dont know!

So i had my post op appointment today and i am down 15 lbs but why am i thinking it should be more?? I get my protein and most of my water and i walk too. I just thought it would be more

Im a cashier for a grocery store and i do a lot of lifting pulling and pushing so my doctor took me out for s month. Im finding it hard to be home all the time and not busy like normal so when i go see my doctor on the 3rd maybe he'll let me go back! I need something to do other than being home thinking about food!

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing! Im doing ok just a lot of head hunger I dont own a scale yet and i wont see the Dr til the 3rd but i know im down some because my clothing is loose!!!

Hi all! I was also sleeved on the 17th and im doing ok. I find myself thinking about food a lot! I do pretty well with my protein but dont get ALL my liquids in yet. I haven't done the eat and chew or anything but its like im obsessed with food more now! I stick to yogurt and cottage cheese right now and im full all day. Half a yogurt at a time. I just crave a pickle or something else other than the soups and so on. I dont own a scale and dont see the doctor til the 3rd but i am already losing my pants lol so ive lost some!!

So the glue has come off my incisions now and they are healing well. Now i notice that they are considerably hard 2 out of the 5. Is this normal?? I have had only finger surgery and i dont remember it being this hard! Maybe im just paranoid?

Yay that's amazing!

Hi all, i was sleeved on the 17th and doctor used the glue on my incisions. The glue is starting to peel off which is ok but today a piece came off from over the actual cut! Should i put a bandage on it or clean it with peroxide or what? I really dont want it to get infected!! Thanks for reading

With all the stress and pre-op diet i had one every 2 weeks! The last one seemed normal and ended while i was in recovery at the hospital. Hoping it stays kinda normal but i hear it doesn't most likely so i too have yet to find out

I was the 17th and no bm here yet other than the tiny pebbles at the hospital....anyday now i keep saying!!! If not today maybe Monday ill get something for it. I was told no laxatives and the pain meds can make u constipated too

I totally understand that! I stil get those moments where i am like what the heck did i do to myself!!! Then i come on vst and gastricsleeve.com boards and the support is outstanding! I too keep thinking this will pass!!! Keep it up youre doing great!!!

Me too! All the commercials and that are driving me insane! But i know there is no way it would taste good if i puree it and can eat it so i quickly think of something else. I am only 3 days out but would love to try an egg or SOMETHING but just liquids is hard enough

I was also on 12/17 but ill be there to support you in anyway i can!

Congratulations on your anniversary what a huge accomplishment! I am on day 3 post op and can't even begin to think of where ill be in 2 years! I am excited for you and my journey too

Good luck to you. Ill be thinking of you!

Walking helps a lot! So does sitting straight up or flat as much as you can handle for pain. Also if it hurts don't hesitate to use the pain meds like i did....i regretted it after it got so bad i thought i was dying lol

I also was sleeved on the 17th but water is about the only thing i can handle. The hot tea is nice too but the jello, broth and popsicles they bring me i cant tolerate just yet. Its my birthday today so im hoping to go home and see my 5 year old son whom i miss

I too had surgery yesterday and have the same thing. You can also get that feeling from drink/swallowing too fast. I get up and walk or try to lay flat....sometimes that helps! Prayers for you

I am in Fresno and my surgery is Monday with Dr. Juarez. I am so happy to find good support groups and friends to share with
