Yummy....sounds delish right now. I know you have had responses to the bean question, but I just had to say you made me drool a little bit

My doc ordered Mylicon drops (infant gas drops) for the hospital and home. Also ordered Levsin/hycosamine for stomach cramping......these two things got me through the first 5 days when things were bad. I have hardly had any surgical pain though. Congrats and good luck

Oh, that is a GREAT idea because I am getting tired of SF popsicles.

I wonder why they say not to freeze? I used to work at a nursing home and we would freeze ensure for the residents....so I thought it seemed logical.

Congrats!! How Awesome for you. I am a week post-op tomorrow. I had a rough time with dinner tonight...just wanted to chew something, you know? One more week of liquids for me...........

Just wondered if anyone has frozen a protein shake and ate it like ice cream? It seems like a reasonably good idea....doesn't it?

I figured you did, but I just thought if they were itchy it might give you some relief to clean them again...and you can rub a washcloth on them.

We had surgery the same day, and mine aren't bothering me....sorry. I have Steri strips over mine though. Maybe if you wash them again with soap and water they will quit itching?

A friend of mine had her sleeve about 10 weeks ago. For a couple weeks she didn't lose any weight, but she was still losing inches. Maybe you should do your measurements once a week (if you aren't already). It can make a difference to see those inches coming off.

I also had my sleeve 9-10 and each time I have thought I felt hungry...this morning and the day after surgery. It was either gas or thirst. Hopefully that's all it is for you.

I'm glad to hear this too. I had my sleeve on 9-10 and yesterday and today I have been able to drink my protein quicker. I was worried, my post op paper said 1-2 oz over an hour...but I think that's more for the first couple days when your stomach is swollen inside. Jealous of the soup though....I'm on liquids for the first 2 weeks.

Just so you know, if you have to wear oxygen at all you can't use your vaseline or any petroleum based product.
