Just curious to see how many grams of each you take in.....

I Have 6 incisions. 3 small and 3 a bit larger. One of my larger ones is still sore as well as soreness inside under that one too. Anybody feel a little pulling when moving, sneezing, coughing, deep deep breaths?

I Have been meaning to ask this for a few days... Thanks

I just want to eat a few more bites lol

My 6 are covered with some sort of glue. They look super dry and are starting to itch. I bought some gauze to put over them tomorrow as it's my first nursing clinical since surgery last Monday (4/21) and I don't want to worry about something getting accidentally pulled by my scrubs.

Lol Oh I really don't care what she thinks, it's just that this was my first negative reaction. Everyone who I have told has been über supportive, so her reaction surprised me. She is a retired nurse in England and I really would have thought she would see the benefits. Oh well...

Dh just told his mom and she was not impressed. She thinks that what I did was too drastic. I told him that this was my decision. What are your thoughts?

Thank you thank you thank you!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for You made my weekend!

Thanks! I am only 6 days post op and on full liquids. I would give my right arm for some nuts or fruit, lol, but not yet!

A cube of cheese would be most welcome to my tastebuds! There is a member on here that has a blog w recipes and she has one for a cheese soufflé. I think the website is www.twosleevers.com. I am making that tomorrow. Got busy today but def. trying it tomorrow.

The short is the kids hot chocolate cup

It's 10:30 pm and I am feeling very hungry. What is acceptable to have this late? I am eating a couple oz of Greek yogurt. Any thoughts?

How do I manage this without making myself crazy?

Lol okay folks, I will buy the Fage from now on.

I cried and cried post op. I was depressed tonight watching my family eat dinner while I was sipping soup. However, I have been reading weight loss surgeries for dummies and it shows me how much I will gain from this surgery.

I feel you! My family had burgers and hot dogs while I sipped soup.

Hi, I did some shopping today at trader joes and picked up a container (think parmelat milk container) of black bean soup. It is completely liquid. I had 2 oz for dinner and it had wonderful flavor. Just a suggestion for the new sleevers.

My poop today was soft solid... Amazing what a little farina will do.

I can't be tired, I have 5 kids!

I bought some Fage too. Trying that one after this one is gone.

Two words Trader Joes. Omg, the one with honey (0% fat) added is superb! Yes, it's higher in carbs and sugar than plain, but so so good. I ate 2.5 ozs and feel happy that it agreed with my belly. Does anyone add their own touch of honey or other stuff? Trying so hard to keep everything low so plain will prolly be the one I go to most.

I promise it will get better! I am 6 days post op and feel great! Haven't used pain meds since the first night. Today I went food shopping with hubby. I'm not driving yet, but hopefully by next weekend.

Well I just finished 9 oz of a shakes. I started it at 10:30. Two questions, will this have an adverse effect on my stomach and does that count as 9 oz of liquids?

Can't seem to get much protein in yet. 6 days post op today. Everything is healing beautifully and I have lots of energy. I put a little unflavored in my soupy cream of wheat. Any other suggestions? Once I can eat meats and low fat cheese I hope to be rid of those damn protein shakes for good.

I would call the dr if I were you. My incisions are scabbed over and healing great. I never had any drainage. Also I think you should be able to do most things on your own. Maybe it's just my ability to bounce back, but better safe than sorry!
