Congratulations on both accounts 2015 will be a great year for you both. Will keep you in my prayers for a quick recovery, with hopes that you'll enjoy all the different stages you will be going thru in the future.

Traveler 60. Just try every new food very cautiously, remembering to take very small bites and really chewing. The one time I had trouble was when I wasn't paying attention, while talking to my husband I was just eating like I used to, by the time I realized what I was doing my stomach was really hurting....now that talks you how mindlessly I used to eat one time was a lesson well learned. Good luck on trying new foods.

I was like you navy mom scared to try the pop corn. But last weekend we went to the movies I tried it, ate very slowly to see if anything would happen and everything was fine. I'm 2 months out tomorrow. Good luck with it, I really enjoy having popcorn at the theater. When I was on weight watchers I'd hardly eat anything all day if I knew we were going to the movies

I hadn't thought of heating the chocholate up that's a good idea

I was wonder how traveler was doing. I hope she's doing good, and will up date us soon.

I'm in my car all day too. I take deviled eggs a lot their easy to eat and filling. I also ordered these bags of cookies and chps from Amazon their made by Kay's. They have 12 grams of protien 1 grams of sugar 15grams of carbs and 4 of fiber. They aren't a Keebler cookie but their not bad, and they keep in your car.

Bellaluce, we were sleeved about the same time, mine was 9-2-14. I agree with you I wish I had done it sooner I'm 56 and when I first went to the doctor, before I found this group I thought I might be too old . Welcome to the group. I'm down 35 pounds and already feel much better.

Wow 8 weeks, I know that was RUFF.. My doc just required 2 weeks of liquids and that was a long 2 weeks . Congratulations on being able to do that.

Congratulations Angirue that's a great weight loss. Dr. Walton is strict, but he has the patients best interest. My daughter could have had her surgery around the first week of November but she hadn't completely quit smoking . So now she is motivated to be completely off cigarettes for her surgery on December 2. Good luck with your surgery and maybe we'll see each other at one of the support group meetings.

Dr Walton was my doctor. I really like him, my advocate is Jamie. Today was my 6 week check up I was down 30 pounds. Wooo whoop.

They weighed me right before surgery, right after they have you change into the hospital gown. Then after surgery late at night or very early in the morning they weigh you again, I gained 6 pounds

The reason I was given as to why we end up with such bad gas pains is that they fill your torso with air to make it easier to manuever their instruments during surgery. You'll have gas pain clear up in your neck and shoulder. Walking helps a lot and the gas x strips.

I went to weight wise up in Edmond with dr Walton, they have support groups too, it's a good place to learn a lot about sleeve life

I was off about ten days also. I could have gone back sooner not much pain at all but you will be really tired. Good luck. Who's your doctor?
