Hey my fellow October sleevers,

How is everyone doing? People that's been recently sleeved, how you feeling? Well the gas has subsided... I'm feeling loads better besides the pain from one of my cut. Plus I have a mild cough and it kills me to cough of sneeze. Feel like I'm gonna bust each time I do it lol. Also my stomach feels so tight. Like I've been doing mad sit-ups. I don't know how much weight I've lost since the surgery ( October 1st ) my post-op appoinment was today but I had to miss since my little bambino got sick. I'm kinda scared to get on the scale to be honest, I'm scared it won't move much. My mom had a bypass when I was 7 so she keeps telling me it'll be okay, "your gonna lose it sunshine". She's 6'0" probably 140 lbs on a bad day lol. But I'm worried about getting in all my Protein. It's hard because if i sip too fast I get terrible gas bubbles. Too slow the day will pass and I'll still be on shake #1. And I drink EAS. It tolerable but I'm not too happy with it. I feel like I'm talking yall ear off so somebody anybody HIT ME UPPPPPP:)
Prayers up for you guys:)

12 days post op and feeling great. Found myself walking alone a lot since most of my friends (pre-op) would rather barhop or watch football on a sunday. Anyone notice that post-op your kind of on your own in a way around people you know? Since you cant really eat or drink junk like before?
for those of you hating the taste of Protein shakes i found one that for me anyhow has been a godsend. nature's best Isopure zero carb. i have been drinking the Cookies n cream flavor. the bag smells like ice cream when you open it up what is nice is each 12 oz service is 50g of Protein so 2 shakes a day max should sort you out. i got mine off Amazon.com for like 17 bucks. GNC has them im told also.
good luck everyone

Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm 21 years old and am going to have surgery after Christmas, which is a scary scary thought. I'm a student majoring in Elementary Education and Moderate Disabilities. I work on a farm which is too fun for words and it forces me to be active. I have a wonderful, large family that are 100% supportive. I love to go out with my friends just like any other 21 year which is going to be a hard habit to break after surgery. I mean I just turned 21 and I'm a senior in college!! But I know this will be worth it in the long run. Just like some of you have stated, I'm a girly girl but definitely have a Tom boy side. I love sports, football in particular and I'm also a Disney freak (yes, frozen included) but my favorite is Peter Pan. I'm looking forward to having surgery but like I said, scared.

@@tardis76 awesome. I don't go for my weigh in until 10/21 since my doc is only availble on tuesday. Have you tried other Protein Shakes? I tried Atkins and muscle milk. Both made me feel like I was on the verge of spilling my guts. And I hate that feeling. Ugh is it so hard to find a tasty Protein Shake lol. I've been drinking broth and propel Water. The propel is pretty good and I usually hate flavored water. I've also had alot of applce juice water downed. I can't wait to start the purees tho. That's next wednesday for me:)
