hi, i am hypo also, i take 112mcg of synthroid 2 times a day plus cytomel 25mg.. i was sleeved on jan 31st and i have lost 16lbs so far....from what i have read, seem like everyone is losing at the same rate as others without hypo,,,,congrats everyone!!!!

HELLO.. where do you buy pb2?

Today I had my 2 week postop checkup with my surgeon. He was very pleased with the incisions and etc...I lost a total of 16lbs since surgery. I am having a hard time getting in my water but I am getting in my proteins. I also drink all the way to midnight. I am to start on soft foods today. I tried McDonald fish filet party. I tore off the breaded part and just ate the inside. It filled me up..its worth 9gms of protein.not sure if it was the best to choose but it did suffice for the moment.

Today I noticed that after I ate, I was able to burp and let food come up my throat as if I was vomiting it up, but I was able to control bringing it up. What does that mean?

Thanks txbrit....u r right...I have 3 more days to the soft food stage....yikes...I'm scared..I just tried a very little to see if I would feel anything different. I will be traveling to Atlanta this wknd and I will have to be on soft foods...none of my family members know about my sleeve so I was just giving myself a trial run to see how I will feel with the family while we are eating out at restaurants each day for 4 days. So 3more days I will have to be ready....ughhh

Ok yall... I couldnt resist it. I am11days postop...I ate about 5 boiled crawfish...I am soo full...I do feel the pressure in my chest....oh wow....ughhh

I am 11 days postop and I can swallow more liquid now than before, almost as much as preop and I noticed that the burning ,fizzing on the top of my stomach I used to get when I eat anything has gone away....is this normal to feel almost normal when eating and drinking????

I have a question to the January sleevers....have you noticed that you can swallow more liquid at one time and do you still have the fuzzing at the top of your stomach when you eat? I am 11 days out and I can swallow almost normal and I barely feel the fizzing iny stomach when I eat. Just checking to see if this is normal.

I am the opposite also....I had been going to the bathroom ever since the day after surgery...and I go 1to 2 times a day.

Hey ash.....what are you going to eat for your soft foods....I will be at soft foods on Thursday.

I too am a huge fan of walking dead!!!!

Congrats to you!!! Very nice pics. I am on this journey 10 days postop, its very challenging but I'm ready for it. I am also trying to talk my partner into doing it .

I thought it was only me..I feel hungry a lot too. Im not sure how to solve this hunger problem....I'm glad I can go to solids Friday.

Yes I am getting it in....I decided not to try it again because I want to stay on track because I am losing weight real fast...but I must come to some kind of happy medium because I am truly hungry and I thought I wasn't supposed to feel this kind of hunger all the time. I will talk to my doctor and discuss if I need another type of ppi or something..i start back to work in almost 2 weeks, I want to have it all together when I return back to work.

Right now, I am required to drink 32oz Of water and 40 to 60gm of protein....with my protein shake, its 60gm when I mix it with 8oz of water...I get that in by noon, and the water is smooth sailing...I am drinking isopure or flavored water during the day and drinking my chicken broth...today I will switch some things around and see if I can work something out...because I have truly been hungry since surgery, lots of head hunger and lots of stomach hunger too...ughhhh

Ok...I'm hungry...starving a little....sooooo I chewed a piece of baked chicken about 30 times and swallowed....nothing happened. My sleeve accepted it very well. I am 9 days postop, but so know that I didn't eat another piece...Ughhh

I am cold also....my nose feels like a block of ice...lol

Congrats to everyone!!!!!

Ive been real cold also....my missus a block of ice...lol

Ok ok ok ...guess wut I did....I went to the movies to get myself out the house. I ordered a small popcorn and I chewed it up...sucked the juice...and spit it out...I did a whole lot of popcorn like that. My new sleeve didn't even react. She jus sat there and enjoyed the juices....like I said, she is very temperamental...lol....I won't do it again, but I couldn't resist it...ughhh

Yes...I will keep you Informed ...I can't wait to see the Dr ...I jus hate having to drive 2hours to see him..
