Help please
Have someone rub it up towards your neck in hope to burp it out. Maybe neck/shoulder exercise?

Who eats McDonalds post op?
I'll be honest, I'm 3 months out and down 40 lbs. I'll indulge, no where near as much as I use too (weekly basis). Maybe once a month. For example a mc griddle meal. I'll take off the top part of the griddle and eat a half in one sitting. 3 hrs later the other have, 3 hrs later the hash brown. Instead of pop or juice I get a large cup of water. I'm a realist, I'm human and like to treat myself every now in then. I don't have the weekly cravings which is amazing!

How to deal with others eating around you?
I go out maybe 3x wk. I'm about 6 wks out. I can get full off a cup of Soup or eat half an appetizer. My immediate fam knows. But if I'm not with them I tell whoever I ate before I came or have another eating engagement and want to eat light. Normally were so busy talking for them to notice I barely ate anything.

How were you feeling 3 weeks out?
I feel great! I'll b 4 wks tomorrow. I only took 1 wk off work. To be honest I haven't been doing well with my Water, Vitamin schedule, and Protein shakes. But I still have energy, and know my body enough to know when to sit down. Right now I'm down 24 lbs. =)

Sleep Apnea Evaluation - Unexpected Requirement
In my case of jumping through hurdles I found out I had sleep apnea. I was sleeved 3/14, as of today I'm 20 lbs lighter. My sleep study dr told me at a recent follow up dr if I loose 20 more lbs within 5 months I need to reschedule another sleep study to get my pressure re evaluated. Generally once you loose 25% of your body fat within 6 month time frame you have to meet with your dr and they will determine if you need to stay on. Good luck!

new date 3/24/14
My first food on my puréed phase was fried eggs! I added a lil cheese to give it a boost of protein. I honestly got tired of tuna and chicken salad in the first few days. My go to is thin sliced cucumbers. It gives a crunch factor I miss when I ate chips.

new date 3/24/14

Premier Protien Bars
I purchased mine from Sams. Everyday I have a premier protein shake for breakfast and a premier protein bar in the evening when I get the munchies. Combined it equals 58 grams which is close to my minimum goal of 60 grams per day.

Soup Anyone?
I'm 16 days out. I haven't had nausea or any complications. My dr advanced me on stage 3 four days early because my sleeve was doing well. The trick is small bites, chewing 25-30 times while mixing it with saliva in your mouth. It sounds gross but it makes the food go down much easier! Good luck

Anyone not tell family?
I started my journey 6/13, and was sleeved 3/14. Only people I told was my mom, husband, 1sister, and two older kids. I have two other sisters and family who I decided not to tell. I do not intend on telling them either. Just my personal choice because I'm not really close. My reasoning, you didn't care enough to intervene when I was obese, why include you in my choice to do something about it?? I don't need negative nannies (family/friends/acquaintances) in my life passing judgement or asking me questions I don't care to respond to. They can see my success from the sideline .

Trouble getting my protein in
Go to their website and type in your zip code. Walmart, sams club, costco, Kroger, and Meyers sell near me. They sell fairly quickly and is out if stock often. I think amazon sells them too.
