I am craving salsa. I may try it on puréed food stage with refried Beans or something!

I am doing great!! Still have a little sore area on my tummy but each morning I literally feel better!! My pants are starting to fit lose and shirts aren't as tight. How are you?

Thanks everyone I got a sugar free had to small bites and that was enough. Since surgery I find sugar free items to still be to sweet. However I would live a pickle-sicle right now!!! I have never been a big sweet eater.

Cold doesn't seem to bother me. I drink ice cold Water all day long! Thanks

I was sleeved on 7/31. I have an 8 year old son who is staying home with me while I am on vacation. He wants me to take him to get a sno-cone but wants me to have one... What do you think? Is sno-cone okay to have? I know it's strange question but just wanted to ask.

I had the sleeve with a hiatal hernia fix.

I made cream of potato soup tonight and thinned it out a bunch with skim milk. I guess I ate to fast/ to much/ maybe to early for my body. i only ate maybe 1/3-1/4 of a cup. But now I feel like I have something that comes up in my throat. I can't throw it up so I am praying that it goes down soon. I am scared that I might have hurt my staple line?? I am 6 days post op and like I said thinned cream soups were on the list maybe potato isn't in that group... Help...

When did you start sleeping on your left side after surgery? I am a side sleeper and I usually sleep on my left side but it is still a little tender and I don't want to hurt anything in my tummy!!

Does it take you a couple of hours to drink those each? Where do you get the premier protein and are they premade?

The first shake I made with almond milk made me gag, the second one today with skim milk is much easier to get down. I am getting and oz an hour and then Water in between. I did do a Popsicle this morning and will probably do another this afternoon and drinkable yogurt 1 oz.

What are you sipping on?

Is everyone at home resting? How is everyone feeling from being sleeved on the 31st?

Where do you get gas x strips at? I also think i am starting to get thrush, any idea what I need to do to stop it while I am ahead?

I am at home tonight and smell of any food upsets my stomach. I do need to get more SF Popsicles and may try the Italian ice. All I can get down right now is water... Trying to stay hydrated. My doctor wants me to start trying shakes tomorrow...

How are all the July 31st sleevers doing?

They did my leak test at the end of surgery yesterday. So I just had to wait about 6 hours to drink anything.

I am on the losers bench!! I have been up 4 times since surgery walking the halls. Feel pretty good. Haven't used the pain pump since about 1. I can def feel the gas pains in my shoulder blades... I am tired so hopefully I will sleep okay tonight. If all continues to go well I should be headed home tomorrow around noon!!

HAPPY SLEEVE DAY to everyone it 5AM and I am headed to hospital!!! Surgery at 7:30AM!!!!

What time is everyone scheduled for? I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am for 7:30am surgery!!

Same to you. I am so excited but so nervous today, my stomach is in knots. I am down 16lbs from the preop diet, eeekkkkk!!!

What time did the surgery start?
