Disappointed at the lack of knowledge of some medical professionals!!! Went to the hospital yesterday cause I got myself dehydrated again. I had to explain to 3 diff nurses and my doctor that the "sleeve" is not the band.. Everytime they asked a question it was band related and I'm like .. I do not have the band.. I finally found a diagram photo of the sleeve procedure on my iphone and just showed them that.... Seriously people???!!!!!

... Excuse me does anyone know of any shakes that taste good? Is this shake okay?? .... Those are my personal fav topics to see everyday .. There is a search function that will show you thousands of these posts.. Maybe we need a category that's just for shakes.. One for puréed ideas... Etc

This just made my morning

I feel ur pain . I'm curled up in bed with a heating pad crying over these cramps! And I can't leave the house cause I need the bathroom every few minutes. Ridiculously heavy flow today !

On a good note I'm down 55lbs! On a bad note I start back to work today and I already threw up on myself in the car... Apparently I can't take all my pills in the am before I drink a shake or eat...Good to know !!! Ugh!!!!!

I just mucked 4 horse stalls for the first time since surgery!! I'm tired lol

I didn't have a clear liquids phase , I had to drink 2 choc shakes before leaving the hospital ( I was in for 5 days for vomiting) I was on shakes for 2 weeks and had no more vomiting issues then I started full liquids and did okay with yogurts . Then I was allowed eggs and puréed stuff and was able to keep some soups down and some puréed tuna.. Eggs didn't sit no matter how soupy. Now I'm on soft foods and the only thing that never causes an issue is cheese. Sometimes I can eat something and it's fine and then the next time I try the same food it comes right back up. I'm cleared for all foods on Friday but I don't see that happening since I can't even handle most soft foods now. I'm going to try all shakes for a few days and work on getting in fluids because I've been dizzy lately if I bend over so I want to concentrate on rehydrating. The doc says everything is fine and just I'm a slow healer!! Hopefully back tracking a little helps

I have been still trying to drink a shake a day for protein but it still takes me a good 1-2 hrs to get a shake down!!

I went for Iv fluids once already and tests all came out normal. I don't take anything for nausea because I don't have any with my vomiting . I eat it stuff and then it just hurts bad then I just open my mouth and it comes out. I don't even have spasms or straining or noise like when I used to vomit before surgery . And I feel totally fine afterwards. Drinking hurts still too and I can do maybe 20oz a day because I sip then burp for 10 min.. It really sucks! I want to just chug a bottle of water

Im 6 weeks out and the only food I can tolerate without vomiting is string cheese or baby bell cheese.. I'm so friggin tired of cheese, I only lost weight weeks 1&2 out of surgery !!! I can't get my water in cause I'm always so tired and need to nap. I'm going back to work Friday idk how I can handle that when I can't even handle life right now ..ugh feeling lost

I second the unjury ones! The strawberry I found if u mix it with double the water and add lots if ice it's like a nice juice type change from a shake. Also the syntrax nectars are delish! The core light banana strawberry tastes like a strawbana smoothie but it's very thin!

5 weeks out down 50lbs since preop and this photo

What do u guys use to make the side by side comparison pics? Those who do it on ur phone is there an app?

My hair was long and blonde, she just cut off 9 inches and it's still past my shoulders and I'm cutting off more when she styles it!!! Also dying it red .. Hopefully having it short will keep it easier to manage since I have worry about taking pills and eating in the am before work!! Ahhhhhhhh I'm excited and freaked out lol big changes for me

Just got some in the cooler section with the lunchables near the bacon and string cheese type stuff and they have these roll ups called Revs too

I threw up several times a day for the first 5 days out of surgery. It was so painful and they tried many drugs to make it stop and finally found one that helped and I was then able to go home finally

Eat slower app! U can set it to beep every 30 sec to 2min to tell you to take a bite

I take omeperazole once a day. At night when I lay down (even if I hadn't eaten in a while) my chest starts gurgling and making almost buzzing sounds. Then I feel super starving and empty feeling and my chest feels heavy. I wake up with the grossest taste in my mouth.. Is this heartburn??? I've never had it before surgery so I'm not sure !!!

I'm on a 2 weeks stall (so far ). Lost 18 the first two weeks after surgery and nothing since. I'm barely getting in fluids and maybe 400 calories a day . I have been able to get 60g protein daily though , but vomit a lot after eating so not sure how much I'm really getting in. I have been so exhausted and almost fainted on a few occasions from getting up to fast! Knock on wood ..today and yesterday I was able to get in 500 calories and no vomiting !!! Praying I'm finally getting the hang of this and can progress from here yay!! Still struggling with fluids !!

As far as I know all doctors require that before surgery. Ur are asleep when they do it and don't feel a thing!

That was great!!!!

Was sitting on the bed Indian style with my legs crossed under me and my husband came in and was starring at me ... I'm like ummm what?? He said he has never seen me sit like that before!!! Never occurred to me that I was doing anything different but I'll take it as a NSV!

Got bored and looked up semen in my fitness pal .. Hysterical Especially the 5th one down bahahahhahaha

Screw this stall!! I just got into a pair of 22 jeans comfy and I was wearing 26/28 at surgery!!!! I can handle a little stall as long as the body is shrinking in places!
