Texas. I know it's hot outside, but geez, I'm on a riding mower, I've done good with my Water, and I have on a big hat. But even with all that I got way over heated. I used to be able to do it just fine. I didn't even do the whole acre.... I couldn't.

So my note to my idiot self: Don't go out when the heat index is this high, wait till winter to mow.....

congrats!! Can't wait to see that number. Who did it for you?

I'm in the Dallas area and it was Dr. Frenzel

I had the sleeve but a very good friend had the revision by Dr. Frenzel....

I was sleeved 6/7/13. I will be starting my 3rd month 8/7.

Right before my surgery I was in a 20w pant and weighed 205. I'm short and pear shaped. Today I went and tried on pants and I got into a 16 misses and I now weigh 171. WoooHooo!!!!!! :0)

Call your doc.

Call your doc about the nausea. I was exhausted for quite a while.

Questions: Are you getting enough Protein? and How are you able to get in sooooo many calories? :0) I struggle to get 500 cal. and I'm almost 2mo out...

Good luck!

I'm almost 2 months out.

I just wanted to share what I've done in the last couple of days.

I've been struggling to get in my Protein and make food for my family. One thing I have done is to make my barbecue chicken into shredded chicken by placing it into a food processor and shredding it. This way they can have the shredded chicken sandwich and I can enjoy some of it also. Then today I made sloppy joes with turkey. I took out a portion of the mixture for me and then added unflavored protein to it. This is really helpful since I am WAAAAAY behind in my protein today.

I'm 3 weeks out and can eat 3oz of dense Protein, and 4 oz of soft food like yogurt

At one sitting?

You can also try tapering off on the caffeine.....

How far out from surgery are ya?

I like Eas....

What Laura-ven said. I was threatened with going back to the hospital for dehydration. I drank all of my 6oz that day! I couldn't afford another hospital stay. Little sips ALL DAY LONG. :0). You can do it. Remember that having Protein will help you heal and liquid Protein is still a liquid.

Good luck!

Take a deep breath. For technical questions, ask your doctor.

It is normal for anxiety before surgery. Please remember that ANY surgery carries riskes.

I had lots of what ifs before I had surgery. I think many of us have been there. For me the pro out weighed the con.

Good luck!

Yup, that pretty much describes it. I go in for another one tomorrow. The only hard part is paying for it and waking up so freakin' early.

Please report her!

I would change docs. My doc is very supportive and excited for me.

Congrats!!!

Congrats!

Congrats!

Good luck! and Congrats!

What always makes me 'hungry' is stomach acid. I HAVE to use a ppi so that I don't ruin my stomach again.

The other good suggestions are warm meals. Oh, and make sure you are getting in enough Protein. :0)

Good luck!

Congrats!

At that stage I was still getting most of my Protein in drinks. 7 weeks out I still use 1 Protein Drink a day to make sure I get enough.

Congrats!

Congrats!!!
