I am in Muscle Shoals. Had my sleeve done 6/3/15 (last week) in Huntsville with Dr. mailapur. He is great and I am doing just fine!

Who has had gallbladder problems after the sleeve or symptoms? I am experiencing symptoms and have been told it's due to rapid weight loss. Am calling my dr tomorrow to see. Anyone else? I'm 4 months out of surgery and have lost 105 lbs.

Gatorade is one of the main ways I get my fluids. That and Fairlife chocolate milk! Lifesavers

PLEASE tell me I am not the only one who literally gets sad to the point of tears over not having food. I was sleeved 6/3 so am 8 days post op and the past couple days were hard, as to see why my body is healing nicely and I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about not having food. I am in full liquids but so ready for some density or flavor to eat. When I see people eat or food around it makes me sad almost to the point of tears! Your mind is such as strong influence I never realized how much head hunger I have. Oh & food commercials on tv used to be nothing.. Now I'm practically drooling over anything that pops up on tv edible. Yall am I alone?

Well I've never had dumping but as long as you're on liquids this kind of "movement" is normal, I wouldn't worry. It will take a long time for your "movements" to be anything like normal again lol

Eat slow... I now hiccup twice every single time I need to stop eating! You'll be able to tell that full feeling more when you're on soft foods and solids. And don't worry,.. You won't forget that full feeling and will try to stay away with it as much as possible!

I don't think they're dangerous, try adding some Protein Powder, milk, chicken stock, etc to thin it out and give you as much Protein as you can get, since potatoes are all carbs. I'm not supposed to have any carbs until 3 months out.

Sargento Balanced Breaks! They have cheese, nuts, and dried raisins and 7g of protein-- it's a perfect pocket portion! Also I like the Oscar Meyer P3 Protein packs, has variety of meats, nuts, and cheese. There's also in the same section at Walmart at the P3 packs, a protein wrap, similar to the one above... But has 14-15g of protein! I can only eat half of these at a time but they're satisfying. These are my top 3 go to snacks! They're not heavy and don't make me feel stuffed! Also, Fairlife milk has 13g of protein per cup... I drink the chocolate- it's heaven! Good luck and have fun at the beach!

I was was intubated during surgery and pain from that was very very minimal. It was a little sore for a few days after surgery but nothing bad. The drain you can't feel at all! My drain incision didn't even hurt after they took it out. It doesn't hurt when they take the drain out its just a weird sensation. That's all I can say. Feels like pulling a long spaghetti noodle out. Don't be worrying about that!

Give it a few days... Your esophagus and stomach is still swollen... It will get easier to swallow! Hang in there:)

I am a kindergarten teacher, had my sleeve 6 days ago, Although I am in no pain, I get very tired easily. I would def say wait until Christmas break or summer break to have it (I know, more waiting) but you'll be glad you have several weeks just to rest... Your body will need it!

I was sleeved last Wednesday. So I am 6 days post op with no pain! But I've also followed all the direction of walking and it helps. The first three days are the worse! Then you will be able to feel your incisions each day getting better! I took pain medicine once after I got home on day two and was good after that. Just hang in there

I like Premier too. I've tried chocolate and strawberry- both are good but I don't like the strawberry anymore after surgery. But the chocolate tastes like a Yahoo chocolate drink! Not bad at all!
