4 week post surgery
I had very bad pain for over a month. It was horrible for about a week. My whole stomach was black and blue on the outside..two of my friends used the same dr after I did and they didn't bruise. They were over 100 lbs over weight I was about 60 or 70. It's been 3 years I've gained back about 10 lbs after long vacation this winter. I've lost 3 so far but it's much harder now and I'm 65 so that may be part of problem

Let's hear from the veterans meal sizes
That is good to know! I eat granola bars a lot for hunger and it don't last. I can eat two eggs in am but I've been eating a piece of toast with them so that may be why I get hungry soon after... It's the toast! And no drinking after I eat is Almost impossible! I used to drink after almost every bite before being sleeved.

When can we drink soda
I love my diet coke. I did give it up preop and was ready to give it up forever. At first I just tried a sip or two of a flat diet coke. It didn't taste so good. I thought good, I don't miss it. About 4 month out I put a opened one in the fridge and let it sit till the next day . It was wonderful. I had been reading how many doctors are saying carbonation can't stretch your stomach, and the stretchy part has been cut out.... Ect. So for a treat once a day I get a fountain DIET coke and drink it. My stomach is no bigger than when I started and I have no problems. Just giving my experience on diet coke.

What is the RFID in a soft and g Puréed end diet- 2 weeks post op still have lots of intestine pain and miss eating
I did not realize how I would miss food. I found out yesterday the tumor they cut off my head last week is Melanoma. All I wan to do is eat now, so worried, as I have several other small ones coming up too. I'm miserable with this knif in the right side of my belly, and the worry.

FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved

In my experience, barring complications, you will be "able" to take the grand kids camping. However, you may not want to. I looked at your profile to see your vital stats, but your age, etc. isn't listed. So let me share my experience. I am in my early forties and was 222 when I was sleeved. Four weeks post-op, my sutures were nicely healed, I felt great...and I still tired easily after a full day at my desk job. Yes, I was walking and doing other exercises everyday; yes, I was eating my Protein and drinking my fluids. All was well, my body just took another 3 or 4 weeks before everything felt fully recovered and my endurance and energy levels were back to normal. Thank you so much!- Vertical Sleeve with Dr. adam Smith

I have no problem at al with swallowing. I was just so many... Seven and the burning afterward. I scares me I'm going to get an ex ray today just to be sure. Thanks so much for responding.- Taking medication not crushed.
I have been taking my meds not crushed. They make me gag and throw them up crushed in jello. I take them one at a time and take a sip of water after each one. This morning I had a bad burning on my middle. Has anyone ruptured their stomach taking a pills? I was told I could as long as they were no bigger than a m&m.- How much broth
I was just worried about eating to much broth and hurting my sleeve, I'm just one week post op. this was homemade broth so it wasn't clear as canned or boxed- How much broth
How much broth is a normal serving, I can drink a cup and not feel ful - Not sure I understand the pureed diet.
