I was the 5th too.....sorry ladies- had my first egg today! Only could take like 5 bites and was full!
Good luck and I hope you guys get your eggs soon!

Hi , im home!!!! Feeling better with the gas now, especially after they removed the drain plug, that didnt Hurt but yes as other have said à weird feeling. It felt like à big gas bubble rolling though the stomach and out at the site, but no sound or smell if u get my meaning...lol...its over before u know it...but my gas pain felt better. Im taking Water in and some other liguid pretty good since Wasnt to sick of my stomach...good much to all those having surgery tommorrow, and everyone after...we are rocking june...:-)

So they gave me Isopure it was this grape drink with 40 grams of protein! That worked sooooo much better for me! I had a nose bleed late last night and had to cough up blood! Coughing HURTS but so does laughing and I did that quite a bit too! I got released today.. Free at last, free at last! I feel like I can move without an IV in! I'm really happy with getting this! And although day 2 was hard, I'm having a great day 3! Good luck to y'all!! Just think this time next summer a possible bikini or at least tankini!

My favorite clear liquid is the seasoning packet from a package of Ramen noodles in 2 cups of hot Water. I add a scoop of non-flavered Protein and I'm ready to go! I also love this because when everyone else is eating I feel as though I'm getting real food also.

I can't wait to fight fire again! I used to be a fire fighter, but because of the weight gain I moved to the administrative side of the department. I can't wait to be back in the heat of it all!

I want to ride a pony! I can't now because when the pony sees me coming it lays down and play dead :-/
No seriously, horseback riding would be awesome!

Oh honey, that first bite of anything that's not bland will make your stomach make sounds like a whale and your taste buds dance in jubilation

What phase are you on?.....could mean you're maintaining your muscle and losing fat....or gaining muscle and losing fat.....sounds lucky! I feel like I'm at a stand still two weeks out of surgery....I wake up in the middle of the nite starving! I start puréed on fri....hoping all that changes and i start losing weight and or inches....best of luck to u!

I'm sleeved! In my room, did very well according to the doctor. Still a little pain, can't wait until I can get up, walk around and pee!!
Anxious to see how I handle fluids. Mouth is soooo dry.

I've had a couple shakes tastes like battery acid which of course I have never drunk.
I plan to bring them to my 1st support group meeting next week and offer them up to whoever wants them.

I see a lot of people talking about how they don't like Protein Shakes or drinks, and I must be weird, because so far I have liked almost everything I have tried.
I got a bunch of samples looking at the samples thread pinned up at the top of the board. For ready to drink, I have tried Muscle Milk Light Mango Peach (yummy) and chocolate (horrible, like industrial solvent), as well as Atkins Advantage French vanilla (very good, but the nutritional profile is not that great).
For powders, I have tried Protizyme Chocolate Cake (I thought it was good, and I don't even really like chocolate), and Syntrax Matrix Orange Creme (very good, could use a little more orange flavor -- I might put in a drop or two of orange extract). For each of them, I just put them in the blender with 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk and 1/2 cup ice Water. Other people might like them more or less thick. I don't mind this at all so far.

One week post op appt....down 13.6 lbs....was hoping for 7lbs but what a surprise!! He told me all is well and to go buy a digital scale- weigh everyday! I looked at him like he was crazy! Everyday?? He stated its more important later on because you always need to know your weight....it is easier to lose 2-3 lbs then 10.... Logically he is right! So scale bought and weigh in begins. Hope everyone is going great!

I was sleeved June 3rd and came home Tuesday the 4th. By Thursday I felt great, and have ever since. I've been grocery shopping, been to the bank, picked up the kids from school, had play dates at the park...my recovery has really been remarkably fast. Only 1 more week of liquids and I can move on to pureed foods - I am SO excited for that!

I had my sleeve done on June 5 and I just started full liquids today. You're on puréed Already? I don't get to the puréed stage until June 21. And can't eat regular food till July 4. I'm still having a problem getting in all my Liquids and Proteins. I feel like I drink something every second of the day. And I'm top of that I feel like I'm not losing any weight. Good luck I hope everything works out for you And you feel better soon.

Hi everyone was sleeved June 5, 2013 just started my full liquid and so far so good. There are a few times when I thought what the heck was I doing but getting better each day! Walked half a mile today outside... Can't wait to drive so I can go walk the mall! Best of luck to everyone who hasn't been sleeved yet and best of luck to everyone who has been sleeved! Each day gets better and better!

Day 4 post op....much better today- hard part is drinking constantly to get all the liquids in....sore more then anything. Had a bad nite just couldn't get comfortable to sleep. Hoping tonite is better. Did some light cleaning and that made feel better. Thursday I see the doctor and Tuesday I Finally get to drive! Tomorrow is the introduction to full liquids- can't wait!
When I do have my Clear Liquids sometime if I take one little drop more at a time when I sip I have some nasty pain....but no vomiting!
Each day is better and better and I can't wait to get back to normal - I just downloaded a ton of Bariatric Friendly recipes to try (and I'm not really a cook) so this should be a fun new journey!
Hope everyone else is having a smooth time!
