Dont worry things will begin to move real soon. things will just fine. You will begin to melt! Enjoy the ride!

O yes..I have been using one for years and glad I had mine for this surgery journey we are all on. I love mine!

nver knew they made them. all you can do it call and ask the NUT....maybe as a small suplement but not your main source of protein.

keep things moving! you are doin great!

I had the same issue after surgery...I was on a patch that went behind my ear for 10 days. It was the only thing that worked for me. They say you can get them from pharmacy area for motion sickness they are the same thing...mine was a prescription from the hospital but they said if I needed them after to go to walgreens.

yeah this is normal as, had the same issue...it is where the stomach is taken out. It does get better I promise. Take each day as it comes.

I am 5 weeks post op as well, and I have not ventured out to test the waters that much. I eat very small amounts of food, currently eating chicken breast strips, (precooked out of the deli section) that is a staple in my diet. I love eating real food, but I can barely eat 2 tbls. One other food I really enjoy eating is quinoa....love that stuff.

Your question is not out of the ordinary alot of people ask the same question. I think mine was day 7. but you have to remember that you are NOT eating alot of food and your body is really using what you are putting into it. so not much waste to get rid of...and your intestines are very long, you would think that it would come out faster but without something behind it pushing it out.

Well I am not at 3.5 months out by any means, I am actually 5 weeks out and as of today I am down 38 lbs. My goal was to be down 40 by july 4th. I am looking forward to the future because I love my sleeve. Congrats to everyone on their current post op accomplishments. Everyday is a new one and a new adventure.

ok...nausea didnt have any at all... I am a parent of 3 rangeing in age from 3-17 and I was able to care for them just fine no probs. swimming as soon as my incisions were healed...10 days out for me before I took a bath or went swimming...(not to worry I did shower, LOL)

Yes garlic is amazing and smells great too...I use alot of it in my cooking now more than ever for me....like the cauliflower alfredo sauce that I make. No carbs, and tastes amazing.

It is a head thing...just find something to occupy your mind, it will go away.

I was only sleeved and mine was 90 mins. I had no complications.

Just like everyone above stated..you just need to be up front bout it, otherwise she will never stop pushing it on you. Good luck

Would love to taste some chineese food again, but I do NOT plan on trying that one for a long while. there is so much different seasonings used and alot of MSG. so for me it would be a huge NONO...plus you would only be able to have like I piece of meat and some veggies so unless you made it at home not worth the money

I am 5 weeks out and I have to say that I you need to stay hydrated, the protein you will not be able to get this all in for a while, and take things slowly, if you are feeling like vomiting then you are taking in to much right now, remember you are still very swelled inside. dont push it, stay on clear or full liquids.

you are doing AMAZING!

You havent done any damage other than just to much intake. Getting in all your protein is hard especially in the 1st few months from what I have been told. You are do great. just take each day as a new day and just take that as it comes

just add the cheese...even cream cheese to spagetti sauce is amazing

yes you should be ok to try it. It is considered to be full liquids

I must say I was so thrilled with it. I found a recipe on Pinterest for Cauliflower pizza crust. I made that and for the sauce I used the cauliflower alfredo sauce. then topped with shredded queso cheese. I loved it and so did my kids. MY ole man says he might like it if it had real pizza sauce and maybe some toppings. so next time I have to make too. Dein finatley gonna be a recipe to make again...Cant even tell it is made of cauliflower amazing!

One day at a time is all it takes...I am 4 weeks post op and things are going well...you will be just fine. Keep up the great work!

I made a piece of fish the other day and there are new things you can find in the butter section and it comes in garlic and herb...I cooked my fish in that....talk about amazing! YUMMY

Great job! Sounds like you are doing amazing! Keep up the great work!
