Thanks Brian! I'll keep drinking. I can't tell if it's gone or not. You know when you swallow something weird and you can feel it even after its gone. Not sure which one it is. Lol.

Hey guys. I'm 13 days post op. I must have swallowed my heartburn pill funky today because I can feel it. It's been about 2 hours and I still feel it. Not the best timing As this is my first day back at work. Grrrrr Has this happened to anyone?

Hi everyone, Feel like I had a tiny victory today. I went to my first restaurant post surgery. It was a Mexican restaurant, which prior to surgery was my definition of heaven....Chips, salsa and margaritas!!! Mmmmm Anyway, I sat in front of the basket of chips & salsa and it wasn't as difficult as I would have expected. I did eat ONE chip, ever so slowly, broken up multiple times, chewed what felt like a million. I felt kinda silly only ordering a side of refried Beans and a Water, but it worked. I was even able to mix in a little salsa w/o any issues (I'm 11 days post op). I was happy about that because like I said, I have a weakness for salsa. So yeah, that is it. I took the rest of the beans home and have enough for dinner. Total damage: $3.99. I'm officially the cheapest date ever!! ❤️ 21 pounds down!!

Hi KittyCathy22 Thanks for the update! I'm so glad you're feeling better! 25 pounds is awesome!!! Great job. Also, I'm glad you're taking an SSRI. It will help with this transition. Everyone says that it's common to be emotional after the surgery. I haven't been, I credit (in part) the Zoloft. Today I went to my first restaurant since surgery. It went better than I expected. I felt silly only ordering a side of refried Beans, but did it anyway. I could only eat 1/2 of them. Mixed in a little salsa which didn't hurt at all. I'm surprised because I'm only 11 days post-op. Anyway...Mexican restaurants (chips, salsa and margaritas) were my JAM before surgery. I'm proud of myself for sitting in front of a basket of chips and only having one of them (a tiny piece at a time chewed forever). It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Plus, my fiancé said, I'm now the cheapest date ever!!! Anyways take care!!

Gorgeous!!! You are an inspiration! I'm 9 days post-op! Love reading your story and seeing your pictures! Get it girl!!

Hi Wyatt! I just got my sleeve on 4/20 in Sacramento. Having the same experience as you so far. Not much pain, just focused on getting all of my liquid and protein in. Wishing you well.

Omg me too! Lol. I NEVER ate yogurt before, but it DOES taste good now! Hahah. Too bad I still can't get any of the real good flavor I want (raspberry, strawberry, etc). Never thought pureed Progresso Soup would be good either.

Hey sassy! I was sleeved the same day as you. How you doing so far? I'm doing pretty well. Each day gets better. Each day the scale does down! Tara

So sweet! I had a feeling I had he wrong Roseville because I didn't recognize the other areas you mentioned. No worries! Thanks for the offer. I know there are some here, in fact I went to one. I was just excited to see my area on here. Lol.

My doc recommended either milk of magnesia or glycerine suppositories. I bought both. Didn't want to force anything else in my stomach so tried the suppository. Super easy, worked in like 3 minutes. No pain. Haven't had to use it again.

Hi everyone, Are you referring to Roseville, CA? I'm nearby and just had surgery last week. Interested in the group.

Hey girl, I was super tired too for my 2 weeks. Cold turkey off caffeine, sugar, food (well the food I liked to eat) and pot had me all kinda of moody. By day 5 I was okay. I cheated twice, but was proud of myself for getting through it. You got this!!!!

So sorry you aren't receiving support. I agree with surfer girl. I know many times when my friends have gone out for surgery, I have good intentions to call/see them, but I always think they must want time alone or worry I'll impose. I'm sure they care about you, but are stuck in one of those traps. This experience has been good for me to see how to support my friends. Now I know what kind of support I have appreciated. Keep your chin up!

I don't think anyone is sending the link. I haven't gotten one yet. Not sure who has it.

Yay!!! Today I took a nap and I was almost completely on my side! Lol. Is this my first NSV? Lol.
