I started drinking carbonated beverages around 4 months out and still do every day. There's nothing like a cold La Croix! Sometimes I burp a few times while drinking, but it never hurts my stomach and I take small sips instead of gulps. My doctor said as long as I'm comfortable, it's fine!

My doctor called back and said that I most likely pulled a muscle (which makes sense after having to be on the ground and on all fours for an active shooter drill at my school on Wednesday and then carrying my baby cousin around that night- who knew she weighed 15 lbs now?!)
He prescribed me some pain Patches, I wore one today for 12 hours and it really really helped. I'm curious on how it will feel tonight. Anyone else still dealing with the pulling?

I felt the EXACT same way before my surgery, and I only had 2 weeks from my 1st appointment to my surgery date to wait.
My one regret is that I didn't slow down and enjoy those last few weeks with my nice, big stomach! I know it sounds crazy, but you'll never ever be able to enjoy food the way you do now.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my sleeve and I love that I've lost 24 lbs in the past 2 weeks, but it's not an easy road ahead.
Take some time and enjoy going to dinner with your friends while you're waiting, take some big bites and don't chew very well! Eat sharp things like chips and salsa and carby and rich things like pancakes. Do everything that I can't and enjoy yourself before your surgery!
I was more than ready too, but live it up while you're waiting because you're about to have the rest of your life to be sleeved. Have fun!

I'm 26 and am 2 weeks post op today, I was really worried about the hospital stay for some reason too. Trust me, thats NOT the hard part, lol. The day after I got home I was wishing I could go back to IV pain meds and IV liquids!
I've lost 21 lbs so far in these 2 weeks and I'm really happy about it! I eat around 400-500 calories a day, it's easy to do. Good luck!

I love Cellucor-COR Performance whey, very low carb, high Protein, and the best flavors! My favorite are strawberry milkshake, Peanut Butter marshmallow, molten chocolate, and red velvet. It's really cheap on Amazon if you buy the 4 serving bags for $5- then you can have a lot of flavors on hand as well! Here's the link, it looks like it even on sale right now for $2!

I had my surgery on Thursday morning and even though it was tough, I came back to work on Tuesday. The first few days I moved a little slower than I usually do in the classroom, but I really didn't want to miss more than 2 days of school! Also, I didn't want my coworkers getting suspicious. I think that you can pretty much return to work a few days after surgery if you're determined to make it work!

I had my surgery on last Thursday and went back to work teaching 3rd grade on Tuesday without any "real" problems. The first two days weren't super enjoyable but now I'm totally fine! Everyone is different, but if you really need to get back to work it's definitely possible.
