Had my three week follow up appt and have lost 18lbs! So excited and anxious to keep the scale moving. Already experienced my first stall during week 2 which I thought was early, but it's moving again. Plain Water is still a problem for me but I'm told it will get better with time. Good luck to all of you future sleevers! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I found mine at WalMart in the pharmacy section near the area where the Protein bars are. They actually have different flavors. https://www.atkins.com/products/atkins-lift-protein-bars-drinks/protein-drinks/lift-orange-flavored-protein-drink Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My guess is addict! I start phase 2 tomorrow and can't wait. I see food EVERYWHERE I go! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Postop day 2 was horrible for me. Stay on top of your pain medicine every 4 hours. It will get better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If the stomach becomes overloaded, particularly if it contains too much liquid, food passes too quickly into the intestines. The rush of too much food into the upper intestine may cause nausea, cramping, diarrhea, dizziness and fatigue. http://www.laparoscopic.md/sleeve/what-digestive-changes-occur-after-gastric-sleeve-surgery

How did your swallow test go? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Agreed! Just told my hubby that this morning. I was sleeved on 4/4 and told him whoever thinks this is the easy way out is sadly mistaken! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sitting up straight or standing up while sipping helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My post op instructions said to expect not to have a BM for 2-10 days. I wouldn't stress just yet. Your intake has been low and Fluid only. I'm sure you're going to be fine! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
