I just had mine done a month ago in Dyer by Dr. Cahill

Also i just tried the weight watchers chees sticks. They have regular cheese and jalapeno cheese sticks. Pretty good tasting, not that wax fake cheese taste and they are only 50 cal. Compared to regular cheese. Helps my cravings and grazing.

I feel better knowing that someone is in the same boat as me. And you are only a week after me too. I will let you know what he says but i dont go back until next week. I too use MFP to track everything. I stay under 1000 myself too. My weak time is at night but thank goodness for SF ice pops and Jello. Lol

The last thing you need to do is worry about gaining weight. The idea of the sleeve is not to starve yourself. You need to learn to eat again to the point where you are eating normal foods. Plus you need all the nutrition you can get or you will get sick. Don't freak out if you stop losing weight for a bit, that is normal and going to happen a few times through this journey. Working out regularly is a must. Experiment with the foods, eat slowly, and if one doesn't agree with you give it a few days and try it again. You may feel frustrated at times...I know I did. Have patience and take it one day at a time.

I know how you feel. I have endometriosis and can no longer take my Ibprofuen. Best of luck...hope it works!

Tylenol also makes a tablet that melts on your tongue. It s junior strength so you will have to take more than the box says.

I can say that I am only one month out and I am eating all kinds of normal foods with no problems. It is true that you do have to take Vitamins from here on out, but that is a small price to pay for your health. I have a friend that is 7 months out and eats anything and everything; steak, vegetables, candy, etc. with no negative effects. I know quite a few people personally that have had the sleeve and the bypass and they all eat what they please just in smaller portions.
With that being said, you will always find a few people with something negative to say. The reason you find so many positive people on here is because they all had good experiences. If your looking for something negative than that is exactly what your going to get. Pain is to be expected, frustration is common, and yes you have to learn to eat all over again. The first couple months are the hardest.
The reason you don't find a lot of old timers on here is because the sleeve is fairly new in a lot of places. It wasn't even offered 5-6 yrs ago in a lot of offices, so most went the the bypass. If bypass patients are fine then the sleeve patients will be okay. Sleeve patients still have a stomach to digest and better absorb nutrients...bypass patients do not. I personally know 6 bypass patients that range from 5-10yrs out and none of them suffer from malnutrition.
Congratulations on your weight loss so far and if the diet is working for you then stick with it. You do have a choice in having the surgery. The surgery is not for everybody.
We have no reason to lie to you guys. We had good experiences and don't regret our decision at all. Don't worry so much...it's going to be okay.

I haven't read all the posts but honestly don't get scared. I have diabetes type 1, fibro and other issues and got it done. Honestly I'm amazed that it wasn't painful. My gallbladder was 10xs worse for me. And about throwing up and etc. Only once because I ate too much. Besides that I'm eating everything normal and etc. Everyone has A diff story and their body is diff.

I am one month out of the sleeve and can say I have no regrets. This is major surgery and is not meant to be easy but as long as you follow your doctors instructions you should be fine. I am down 25lbs so far and the closest I came to a complication was dehydration. There is pain involved for the first few weeks and if you have little ones you are definitely going to need a lot of help. I have been fortunate enough to not get sick, I have not thrown up at all. Feeling nervous is normal, the closer my surgery got the more doubts a had. I wish you the best in whatever you decide.
