Best of luck to you all!!!! I was sleeved on july 18th enjoy your journey to a new you!!!! & relax you will do great!!!! Hope to hear your stories once you get home from the hospital

Is the premier protien shake an already made one or is it a powder? I am really thinking about trying them. I have seen so many people saying that is what they use. Where can you buy them at?

You look fantastic!!!!! I can not wait until I start dropping enough to really see it. I was sleeced on july 18th. It has been a very emotional week & a 1/2 for me but I am o ushing through. Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!! You are doing an awesome job!!!!

Milk of magnesia is what my surgeon told me to take for constipation. I have not had any problems with that at all yet so haave not tried it. I drink the EAS AdvantEdge carb control in chocolate & strawberry they have less then 1gram of dietary fiber in them. I get them at wal-mart. Best of luck on your journey!!! I have been on an emotional rollercoaster since my surgery too so I have been trying to stay away from everyone for now. Had a melt down a week after my surgery. It will get better, well that is what I hear, still waiting for that day lol... I was sleeved on july 18th.

Thank you, I don't think they intentionly tried to hurt me either however my sister had been up visiting feom texas when I had my surgery with my nieces & nephews & everyone went out for Breakfast the day b4 she left which was on tuesday 2 days b4 my daughters birthday & I was asked to go & I did go & had my protien shake so I don't understand why I was left out the next time they went out. My daughter had asked while out at breakfast if we were going to take her out for hwr birthday & I had told her I believed that her graduation/birthday party plus her gifts which came to over $2, 000 for the party & all was more than enough & that we would not be doing anything else. Well she went behind my back & re-asked everyone but me & they left me out. I was only asked again after I had a melt down & got into an argument with everyone. Maybe I was the one in the wrong I dont know.

I am 1 week & 1day post op & had a melt down yesterday. I could not stop cleaning the house & then later flew off the handle & locked myself in my room because my family & my daughter were going out to eat for my daughter birthday & even though I can not eat I was still never asked if I would like to go until I threw a fit about it. Made me feel invincible just because I had my surgery. I could have taken a protien shake with me & drank that while they eat just as I do at home. Sad part is only a few days after my surgery my sister & her kids were here visiting from texas & everyone went out to eat & I was asked & I went & drank my shake but at least I was able to enjoy time with them all. I really felt like I was losing my mind yesterday & had began to think why did I do this??? But then I remembered that I did it to live a better healthier life but not to be ignored or to feel invincible.

Had my one week follow up appt today. Got weighed & I am down 17lbd since last friday. Had my surgery done on thursday july 18th. I am very happy & excited to see what the future holds. Just got back from a nice walk outside too congrats to all of the july sleevers!!!!

I am definitely feeling extremely emotional as well. I get very upset & cranky with everyone. It started yesterday whicch marked my one week since my surgery. I thought maybe I was going crazy it was my daughters 18th birthday & everyone went out to eat & I just felt so left out all because I had the surgery does not mean that I dont exist any more I could have went & took my protien shake with me but noone bothered to even ask. I think that is what hurt the most. :'(

Yes the gasx did help a great deal. I did the gasx right after I came home. It was one of the first things I grabbed for when I walked through the door. It was my best friend for the first few days I was home.

Hi I had my gastric sleeve july 18th. The first 2 days were the worst for me with the gas pains. I am doing very well now & I am 15lbs down since friday when I came home from the hospital. It may be more then that but I forgot to weigh myself before just going in & my scale & the hospital scale is off by 7lbs. At home I weighed 321lbs when I came home but at the hospital I weighed 314lbs... I am able to get in my 3 protien shakes they told me to drink but I know I do not get in as much water & other fluids as I should. Next week I start the pureed food & was wondering what did many of you eat during that stage? I am thinking baby food may be the easiest on my belly but would love any suggestions for all of you
