    IndigoChild got a reaction from back2barb78 in Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC   
    Covatila, I was never able to meet my Water or Protein goals in the beginning, mainly due to vomiting and intolerance issues. Over Christmas, I was hospitalized for dehydration. At that time, tests were performed to ensure I had no stricture or scar tissue that may be causing problems. The doc who viewed my X-rays told me that it appeared more like I had gotten a total gastric bypass rather than a sleeve my tummy was so small, he also said it was some of the best work he'd ever seen. So yes, your sleeve is as tight as a drum! Don't beat yourself up over not being able to get your water and protein in. I never was able to and I still don't! You're still going to lose, and you're going to do well. Just do the best you can. There's a process, and we are all different.

    Surgery was on Nov. 29. I'm feeling pretty good. Having some nausea troubles. Can't tolerate my shakes at all. Feeling fatigued, but hanging in there! Glad to be on the other side!!

    IndigoChild got a reaction from is it just me in Steri-Strips   
    When mine started itching, I pulled them off. Washed the area really well with soap and Water and covered the area with a LOOSE bandaid. Instant relief! It may help you heal better to get a little air in there. Hope this helps!

    I was sleeved on 11/29/13 and I was driving the next day. Everyone recovers at their own pace. You know what's best for you. I'm only taking 2 weeks off work.

    I let everyone know I had surgery. I shout it out load because I am so happy. It has changed my life in so many ways. I have lost over 80 pounds and I feel that people are going to know anyway. I have lost that in 5 months. They will see you eat small food and miss the office party birthday cakes etc. So I believe they will figure it out anyway. Most of my co workers are so helpful and interested. They actual love to talk to me about it all the time.
    I went to the bank yesterday and the teller who knows me did not know it was me. We laughed and and I even told her. I guess that is just who I am. I love to tell people. I know weird. There is many people that don't want anyone to know. I just feel like screaming it from a mountain top because I am so happy.

    I like the Unjury shake mix the best. It tastes better and seems to keep me fuller longer. I am also taking bariatric multi, Calcium chew, and a B12. You can also order the Vitamins from unjury.com
