That is so awesome! I know exactly what you mean about the blood sugar and blood pressure. I feel so positive about things now that I don't have to take insulin and a other meds I was taking. Just a little advice. Don't miss drinking your protein and get in as much water as you can. It will make you feel bad and nauseas if you don't. I did learn that the hard way. But am getting the hang of this now.

Go ahead and shower. It took almost 3 weeks for just the paper tape to come off and I showered almost every day. Just don't scrub. It will be fine.

Hey roundisashape Thanks for your good thoughts. I read somewhere on here that acid reflux could make you feel nauseas and sick. I had to start back taking my Nexium again and felt 95% better still a little shaky from not being able to get in enough liquids or Protein. Yea!!!! Thanks again to all the Vets.

BAD Ken, LOLOL!!!!!!

roundisashape So glad you posted this. I needed a laugh this morning. Everyone else thanks for the posts and suggestions. I have been down for the last two days because after things have been going so well, I have started to have the yucks for the last 2 days and been very weak and shaky. Just the thought of putting something in my mouth, even broth, triggers my gag reflex. No pain, just the severe nausea. I am trying to force as much liquid as possible and I think the suggestion of mixing the Protein shakes with ice will help. Thanks again for all the posted suggestions.

I am Type II diabetic. I was taking Janumet twice a day and 75 units of Levemir twice a day. I had my sleeve surgery on 11/17. I haven't had any insulin since I got out of the hospital. I am still taking the Janumet and will until my blood sugar drops under 120. I'm almost there. Also I was on 6 other meds, and including the Janumet I am on 3 meds now. I am thrilled and hope to be off the blood pressure meds before long.

Gotta remember this next time someone brings donuts!

Yep, these posters are absolutely correct. I gained 5 pounds in the hospital from IV's and bloating. Took a week for the gas and bloating and IV fluid to dissipate. Now, at 18 days post, I have lost 24 pounds. It WILL happen.

Type I or Type II diabetes? I had Type II. Was insulin dependent for almost 3 years. 150 units of Levemir per day plus Janumet twice a day. Sleeved on 11/17/14 and am no longer on any insulin.

Every day gets better!!!!

Before surgery I was on 7 different pills and insulin. I now take 3 different pills and will soon be off of those if things continue as they are. I am 14 days post-op and even with some recent nausea and some weakness, I still say it was so worth it.

Super Woman has nothing on you!!! You are awesome.

Way to go Pogi! You are looking great!

My sweet husband made a pot of red beans and sausage and strained some of the juice out for me. It seems to stick better with me than just plain broth. I keep telling myself I can make it till Thursday which is the day I can move to cream soups and cream of wheat.

My doc said 10 days clear liquids, but as you will see on here, everyone is different.
