I was allowed coffee at 3 weeks, I have two cups per day. Everyday!

You are still pretty early in the process. Try eating smaller amounts every 2-3 hours and see if that helps. I am 9 weeks out and still eat several times a day. Mostly Protein still.

What to do when no one supports ... Your decision
judyoz replied to Running2theSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you have all those people on your side, then you will be just fine without your mom and sisters help. Also do you have local support groups? That will help a lot too. Your family will come around, may not be at first but you will at least be able to go shopping with them in the future. If you want to that is Best of luck Judy -
It is grilled and in the freezer section t the store. I am impressed and it is a perfect portion. 15 grams of Protein and two meals per box. If you like grilled fish, give it a try. I even microwave it. I bought salamon and cod also.

It is (precooked) pregrilled and tasted great out of the microwave. Next time I will try the oven though.

I don't mean to sound gross but....
judyoz replied to T.Whitaker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was always a everyday and least once or twice a day type girl. After my last surgery it was 7 days before I went. Never felt bad. Are you passing gas or in pain? I would wait a bid if your feeling ok. Good luck! -
Telling your employer about surgery
judyoz replied to jenc427's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. No need to tell them what you are going to have done. Tell them there will be several preop appointments that you may need off for, but you will try to schedule them after work hours if possible. That is fair enough . -
Well, can't really help with the piercing stuff but my boobs have shrunk and are more saggy and it has only been 8 weeks. But I am 55 years old too! lol

1 year since gastric sleeve - a 120 lbs lost - a lifetime of lost self esteem found.
judyoz replied to madonnawest's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You look great, congrats -
yep, the only reason they found it early was because of preop testing for WLS. Literally saved my life! In more ways than one.

In the end, we are all aware of who treats people with disrespect and rudeness. I know I am. -
Glad I am not alone...... I hope to start when I heal from my kidney removal surgery, but that will be while.

Not hard to figure out, sorry no onions Not hard to figure out, sorry no onions -
Mine says 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after. Every doctor is different, but this is pretty average I think.

Am I really that vain?
judyoz replied to Sylvia13's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have lost over 40 lbs and nobody says a word. But I have gone down almost 2 sizes so feel great about it. I think the more you have to lose the longer it takes for people to notice. Just my opinion. -

judyoz replied to no onions's topic in Rants & Raves
This is not a nice subject to respond to but I am going to. For all of you that are judging this 20 year old girl in a negative way, Do you remember being 20 years old? Were you regular sized or obese? Did you like to party? I was an obese 20 year old that liked to drink and go to bars. Always wishing I was as "thin" as my friends. Of course there was not WLS available back then so I do not know what I would have done. But for goodness sake she was being honest and truthful in her questions. Have a heart. Be kind, I can only imagine what she is thinking as she reads all these replys. On another note, those that post about not losing weight and "doing all the right things" you have one of two things going on, you are lying or it is just part of the process. There are many posts you can search and read BEFORE posting. -

Curious about steps before you book a date
judyoz replied to capricec's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As soo as they get all the results you can book it. I would think about 3-5 weeks, depending on how busy the surgeon is?? -
Has anyone ever got approved within 2-3 months?
judyoz replied to wagyu's topic in Insurance & Financing
Took about 6 weeks for me only because I had a couple of bumps in the road. Lots of extra presurgery procedures. -
Congrats, I was sleeved April 27, 2015. I had the same "stats" as you. I have lost 40 plus pounds and free great! Best of luck in your future!
