Well my three week stall is now a gain
Just a pound but that's annoying! I am still having bathroom issues though so that must be part of it. I've tried a little MIlk of Mag but what does everyone recommend for the Constipation? ?? So far any soft foods I've had have went down ok but I really need to solve this potty issue!

The shoulder pain was the WORST! Y'all hang in there. It gets better! Wednesday will be 4 weeks out for me and other than changing the eating of course I feel back to myself. Still atruggle with the 64 oz of liquid. That's tough!!!!

#1- my glasses won't stay on my face when i wear them. guess most of my weight loss has been in my face!
#2- my hubby told me the other day that i don't snore anymore! it was never really bad but he says i sleep so quietly now!

Anyone else having trouble with going to the bathroom? I've been trying milk of mag but I figure this also has something to do with my stall.

i was on the B12 dissolved under the tongue before the procedure and then back on that one after going home. then had to start the multi Vitamin and the b1 at the start of the 3rd week after sleeve.

I was also outpatient. My mom and I stayed in a hotel down the road overnight and I went back to visit surgeon next morning to remove drain etc. I would suggest go ahead and have a bottle or two of Water to sip on, slippers, small pillow for between belly and seat belt, and I also took a few extra pillows to help prop me in the hotel bed that first night. Other than that I didn't use anything other than my meds and I slept a lot. If someone is coming with you, have them bring entertainment like a tablet or a book. I think I bored my mom but she had a book during surgery and the tv in the hotel good luck!!!

Wow I just signed on tonight to ask the exact same question! I'm 10 days post-op and I have extreme nausea every time I take an Opurity-Optimized Sleeve/Bypass Vitamin. It's truly awful; I actually start feeling like my temperature is rising along with the nausea. It's happened 3 times now and I can't do it anymore! If you're already having trouble, I highly recommend staying away from that one!
I'll be watching this thread, since I also need help with this! I have to take chewables right now, so I'm limited as to what I can have.

I was the 27th. Been on soft foods since Monday. Still having trouble with liquids and protien! It's a struggle to even eat during the days but I am currently loving scrambled eggs, low fat string cheese sticks and these nifty little pretzel packs with cheese dip. Mashed potatoes went down fine but didn't taste good for some reason. I'm in he dreaded three week stall I believe while my body is adjusting to foods again. Believe it or not I think I am not putting enough in!

I do not have this option
BUT... I had been holding off telling my grandmother due to the fact I didn't want her to cry and try to talk me out of it but I told her yesterday and she was very supportive. She also offered to loan me the money from when she sold her house! Now I can just pay her back and save thousands in interest. Whew. I got super lucky there!!!!

i was losing about a pound a day and this week i have lost about a pound total. this is the start of my third week and also started soft foods. i am assuming that that most likely has something to do with it?

Ok. I just didn't know if y'all noticed a time when that constricted feeling stops. I was confused that it is still sore sometimes while on liquids but I am assuming it's just normal

hi! also in alabama. im in Oxford (halfway between Bham and ATL) and i am having the sleeve done with Dr Schmitt on Jan 27th! i go in for my NUT class and last appt before surgery on the 20th and that is also when i start my pre-op diet. I am lower BMI (33) and am self pay. I am getting my loan through prosper as well!

hi all. i am supposed to start soft foods tuesday (YAY) but i am starting to get a little nervous. how long did it take for your swelling inside to go away? i was sleeved on 1/27 and i still feel some pressure while i am drinking my liquids although i am still sipping. it is not every sip for sure but it is definitely still there and i am afraid this is going to make even tiny bites of soft food hurt
thanks in advance for responses!

"where did the rest of my legs go"...probably the thing i am most ready for! I've always had bigger legs and am so ready for skinny jeans and BOOTS! can't wait

hi all! i am a week behind you guys as my surgery was the 27th! i am also struggling with getting in liquids and Protein. I've been putting some unflavored powder in just about everything i can and i also ordered the GENEPRO this week as the scoop is much smaller. luckily my plan allows me to start soft foods on tueday so hopefully that helps! I'm SO ready.

Yes I lost 10lbs pre op and 10 down from surgery day as of this morning

I'll keep y'all updated. I am SO ready to move on to move than drinks but I am also a little nervous! Starting Tuesday morning with a scrambled egg

I hadn't really even thought about it much until the NUT mentioned some people put their chicken/tuna salad on a pickle to save the cracker carbs. Sounded good!

I would chop up the pickles for your tuna and you should be fine. I think you'll be shocked at how little you'll be able to eat. I can only get about 1/4-1/2 cup max, I'm almost 4 weeks out.
