  1. I'm have lost 38lbs in a month it's ridiculous. I'm in the puréed food now but I find I don't want to eat because it doesn't taste right to me and I'm just not super motivated to eat. Had anyone else experience this?
  2. Now that I'm in the puréed food part if my diet I find I don't want to eat anymore. It doesn't taste good. Has anyone else had this?
  3. I'm now starting on puréed foods but I'm finding it hurts to eat puréed. Has anyone else experienced this or this just me?
  4. How much weight have the one week post op sleevers lost? I've only lost 7 lbs and I'm kind of discouraged.
  5. What have you been doing to increase your weight loss?
  6. How much weight have the 14/15th beauties lost? I've lost 7 lbs since surgery and I feel like it should be more
  7. I went to my surgeon today and he said gas is gone by now and that the pain we experience could be muscle spasms and nerves that were stunned during anesthesia coming back to themselves. It's weird but I'll take it.
  8. My advice is stop taking pain killers. I did that and I had 1 day of uncomfortable and the weak feeling went away . I'm just now starting to introduce water but I have been drinking nestle splash water. It has flavors in it and my favorites were the lemon and mixed berry. They were the only reason I was able to keep water down bc it takes the edge off it. Also, Gatorade g2 or Powerade zero will help rebuild electrolytes and that will help with the weak feeling. As to the breathing I had to practice taking as deep a breathe as I could 10-12 times an hour bc it keeps your lungs from getting lazy. It hurts a little but it helps in the long run! Also I sometimes use the pain killers at night to help me sleep. It helps me get more rested but during the day I don't do any drugs during the day anymore bc it was crazy how exhausted and worn I felt.
  9. Haha well that makes me feel better then
  10. I'm drinking the nestle wYer splash which has flavor to it like lemon and berry and I think that's why I can tolerate it
  11. My surgery was the 15 too. I'm still trying. To drink two 4oz Protein shakes each day plus two bottles of Water and two cups of coffee. I'm still waking up in pain but it's better than it was. I'm gonna try the soppy cup idea
  12. I've done the same thing actually!!haha yeah I'm not the only one that's doing that!
  13. You will be fine, just make sure you ask for nausea and pain killers as soon as you get out.
  14. I'm noticing that I'm able to drink more than 2oz an hour and I'm wondering if others drink more than that.
  15. I am so ready for the puréed part of my diet. I'm almost a week post op but it's hard feeding my kids wonderful smelling food and I have to eat gagging broth. Trying to stagnating through the lightheadedness and the dizziness
  16. My doctor says they do but the nurses said no. I am convinced it does bc that's mostly what I try and get in everyday
  17. You aren't suppose to swallow pills. I out the soft gels in my mouth and pop them with my teeth and swallow the liquid inside bc I couldn't find the strips .
  18. The soreness could be bc of gas. I took gasx and omg I feel normal! I don't take the pain killers but at night, to help me sleep, but during the day I'm finding what hurts is the gas and the gasx takes care of it which is amazing! I feel normal all the way around
  19. If you aren't getting enough protein that will cause lightheadedness
  20. My kids are popcorn last night and I just died!!!! I miss munching, I can live without all the carb foods but pickles, I love pickles, apples, cheese. I'm so glad this phase only lasts 2 weeks for me
  21. I was sleeved Tuesday but I'm already having hunger pains did anyone else have the same thing?
  22. Is anyone else feeling hunger pains?
