Any other newbies on this journey out there?? Had my sleeve on Tuesday, 7/16; so I'm 9 days out. Day 3 has been the worst so far. Think I possibly have temporary (I hope) lactose-intolerance as I'm struggling with some bowel issues; but beyond that, I feel very good. Not being hungry all the time is wonderful. Still hard to get in the habit of not drinking for 30 min. before; during; and 30 min. after eating. How is everyone else making out?

I don't know about the rest of you; but I don't like this new site. Can't find any of the threads I was part of. Many posts I have tried to reply to, I get "you are not authorized...". Does any one like this new site??? On a better note... Had my 4-month (almost) post-op appointment today: Surgery date 7/16 Surgery weight - 222 Current weight - 176 Weight gone - 46 lbs. Goal Weight 125 - 41 lbs to go. Over 1/2 way there. Yay!!!

Checking In... HW - 270 (2006) Lap band - down to 175; band failure - back up to. . PSW - 235 SW - 222 - SD 7/16/13 CW - 180 Lost to date - 55 GW - 125 # to go - 55 Half way there. Yay!!! Sent from my DROID RAZR using VST

My doctor does not want us to drink any calories. Also, these devices aerate & add too much air. This can cause issues. Has your doctor approved using these drinks?? Sent from my DROID RAZR using VST

John - My best advice is to follow your doctor's instructions, take one day at a time, and ask any questions you have in this forum. You will find lots of encouragement and help just when you need it the most. Hard to give exact advice as everyone has a little different experience; so just ask lots of questions and post your experiences as you encounter different things on this awesome journey we are all sharing. I would also suggest using My Fitness Pal to track your eating. Helps track Protein, calories, carbs, etc. Best of luck to you. Sent from my DROID RAZR using VST
