  1. Figured i couldn't have it yet but i was making it for the kids and was hoping i could. It looks so good!
  2. I'm a month out.
  3. When can we have corn on the cob?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. My initial eval was two hours. The first hour was a computer assessment second hour was with the doctor.
  7. Thanks. Already noticing my nausea decreasing.
  8. 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.
  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'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.
  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 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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!
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. I had a meatball from sbarro when we went to the mall this weekend and it was delicious. I was so excited that i found something to eat!
  21. I thought they all tasted disgusting.
  22. 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!
  23. 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.
  24. I am also on celexa and have never gained wait on it. I have lost weight while on it before because it helped my depression so i wasn't emotional eating as much.
  25. My doctor keeps them in for a week. Most of my pain after i got home was from the drain. When they took out the drain the doctor had met take a deep breath and when I blew out he would pull some of it out. It took about three deep breaths and it was just a weird feeling not pain. Once it was out I had no more abdominal pain.
