    My doctor never gave me a list of forbidden foods or a time of when to add foods in.

    I'm a month out.
  5. I had that in the first few weeks and found that if i took my pepcid at 5-6 pm instead of 9pm it really helped. I am on pepcid twice a day.

    Explaining your weight loss

    I'm not hiding anything so i have told everyone i had surgery. Everyone has been very supportive and that helps with my recovery. It also helps that everyone since they know is more conscious of talking about food around me and offering me food.

    at the doctors

    Thanks. Already noticing my nausea decreasing.
  9. They are going to give me a 1000ml banana bag of fluids and two different nausea meds. Hopefully that will put me on the mend.
  10. I have lost 33 lbs and i notice it and So are others. People started commenting that they noticed when i was around 25 lbs down.
  11. I called my doctors office to get them to extend my medical leave for another two weeks because i wanted off 6 weeks and my doctor changed it to 4 weeks. I told them i have been throwing up 2-3x/day and not getting all my fluids in. I was sleeved on 4/22 and am only getting in 20-30 oz of fluids in and about the same in protein. So the dr office called me back and said before they would extend my leave or give me more nausea meds i have to go in and be seen tomorrow.
  12. I'm really having those symptoms but I feel it is tolerable. I just do not have the energy to go back to work yet. I am a nurse and I work 12 hour night shifts. The nurse in call kept telling me i should not be eating soft foods if i am throwing up and i should go back down to liquids but when i tried to do that i could not stomach another protein shake so i stayed on soft foods.

    Sooo hungry!

    I am 4 weeks out had surgery 4/22 and have been eating the yoplait since 2 weeks. It does take me about 45 minutes to eat a whole container though.

    Sooo hungry!

    I eat flavored yogurts but i only eat the yoplait whips or blended brands. That don't have any seeds or chunks of fruit in them.
  15. I was sleeved 4/22 down 28lbs. Trying to figure out when I'm full before I'm so full i throw up. Today is the first day i have not thrown up at all.
  16. I have been throwing up at least 2x/day for the last week. Today i threw up breakfast but i kept dinner down! ! It was so nice to nut throw up all evening. We went to taco bell and i got a chicken soft taco and only ate the inside of it.
  17. I am 4 weeks out. I think i have just been eating too much and you know how that goes. I take one bite too much and I'm throwing up. It is such a game of trial and error.

    Bougie Size?

    People can ask whatever question they want it doesn't bother me that people ask questions. I was responding to the original question that for me i did not feel it was an important thing to talk about with my surgeon or worry about because as someone else said anything is smaller than my original stomach!

    Bougie Size?

    Don't know didn't ask and to me i really don't care. I'm losing weight and that's all that matters to me!

    Average hospital stay?

    When they went to do my barium swallow on post op day 1 I had so much swelling nothing would go past my esophagus so i ended up being there an extra day. It was a total of 3 nights. I was sleeved on a Monday and was discharged on Thursday.

    besides recover...

    I have four kids So it has been great to have this time off because baseball started for my 2 oldest the week before my surgery. I've been running around like crazy with these kids!
  24. I didn't have my gallbladder removed because i have no problems with it. I am on actigall twice a day for 6 months to help prevent gallstones. My doctor puts everyone with a gallbladder on that during the phase of rapid weight loss.
