Low BP could be causing it too. I was on HBP meds pre op and had to stop taking it because I was dizzy......

My grandparents owned their own business for thirty years- greenhouses. One thing they sold and believed in was aloe Vera plant. I had an incision to get infected and opened an aloe stalk, rubbed it on it, and bandaged it for a few days. It really helped.

It's a strange feeling- especially the first time.

I was on full liquids for seven days then soft/puréed for two weeks....

Hw: 304 Cw: 244 Surgery: 07/01 60 pounds gone forever and I LOVE it!!

I was sleeved July 1 so in almost 4 months out. I, too, eat most anything that I want to. The amount I eat really depends on what it is I am eating. I don't do bread or regular pasta. I find that most gluten free things are made with brown rice flour which does not swell in our stomach.

The last thing I remember was getting on the surgery table and the nurse putting a mask on my face. Next thing I was in recovery moaning from the pain. I ne'er opened my eyes to see anything. The nurse gave me more meds and then I remember being in my room. I had tons of pain from all the extra things they had to do and the extra incisions.

Good luck and keep us updated!!

I like the flat out products. They are a good bread substitute.

Oh wow!!!

Me too. He said that I could at 12 months post op but it would be healthiest for me and baby to wait 18 months......

I'm from Biloxi!!

Mine too. I use the GNC triple fish oil and swallow fine. I am three months post op and can swallow my Vitamin now too

Normal

I have heard possible cons to drinking carbonation post sleeve. I tried a sip the other day- a VERY small sip- and thought I would die! The pain was so bad!!!

55 down 95 to go.

Thank you so much for the encouragement!
