It's amazing to stop at Costco on my way home from work and be stuffed from eating a few samples LOL

I'm pretty sure after our sleeves are fully healed popcorn is fine as long as we chew well. Anything in moderation is fine I'm sure.

how long did you wait before working out? I live very close to silver cross.

Chicago here South Burbs

I was just sleeved last week at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox by Dr. Christopher Joyce. Great to have buddies for this journey. I love to learn from others and share what I know as well.

I have excessive daytime sleepiness, I used to live off monster zero calorie energy drinks of course had to give up due to carbonation and caffeine. I can live without fizz but need that caffeine boost to make it through the day without nodding off.

Ladies I'm ditz-ing out... how long after surgery till we can have caffeine again? Not coffee specifically just caffeine period?

My surgery was Tuesday, weigh in this morning was 10.5 pounds lower than Tuesday morning before I left for surgery. Feeling great recovering good and getting used to my new tummy. Love the support and info I get here from all of you.

Thank you all for your support and prayers, I had my sleeve done yesterday at 10:20, they also repaired a hiatal hernia I did not know I had. I was super drugged up yesterday. I got up by myself and walked the entire floor yesterday and am getting around great today. I'm having an upper GI with contrast this morning to double check for leaks then I get to have my clear liquid breakfast tray. I hope all you ladies and gentlemen are doing great. Can't wait to be healed up and gym-worthy.

I'm at the hospital, surgery is at 10:20, pray for me friends!

I am thankful to have joined your discussion. I am scheduled for my surgery Oct 21st and start my post-op diet tomorrow. I'm from the far southwest burbs of Chicago. Looking for surgery buddies.
