  4. Sleeved 9/6/16! The same thing happened to me. My doctor ended up giving me hydrocortisone with a steroid in it and it went away. Nothing else worked. Good luck
  5. sleeved 9/6/16. Always extremely heavy with heavy clotting before surgery. Post was light for the first month then back to normal with less clotting. I found that Barlean’s evening primrose oil capsules helped tremendously with cramping. Read into it. It works.
  6. My doctors office told me I can take Advil as long as it’s in gel form. Ask. I do it only when i need it. Tylenol doesn’t work for me. Sleeved 9/6/16. CW155 Lost 122
  7. Sleeved September of 2016. The best way for a smooth transition is not to rush into the next steps. Liquids go to thicker liquids ( protein drinks, yogurt, apple sauce, pudding), to soft foods. I survived on refried beans, soft scrambled eggs. A lot of ideas for your stages on Pinterest. Good luck .
  8. I was sleeved September of 2016. I still have them. Not as bad but still have them.
  9. I was sleeved September of 2016. Please trust me when I say that it will get better. I felt the same way...it gets so much better. Good luck to you and keep your head up.

  11. Congrats! Sleeved 9/6/16. HW 267/ CW 149. There are great soft food options and recipes on Pinterest. Search Bariatric soft food options Retired beans/ plain yogurt are great.
  12. Sleeved 9/6/16. You will always appreciate them after surgery!
  13. Sleeved 9/16/16. I had and will have again turkey and gravy. Veggies. I tried a tiny amount of stuffing with gravy and turkey and mixed it. Was great. Christmas: holiday meat/fish/ veggies Some egg nog. No bread/no pasta
  14. Premier protein was my go to drink. Pinterest has great recipes for premier protein shakes. I am a year and two months post surgery and I can't drink them anymore. The smell makes me nauseous.

  16. I didn't want them. Everything seemed so sweet after I started introducing more foods into my diet. I don't think you will want or need sweeteners or sugars. Taste buds changed drastically for me. Sleeved 9/6/16 SW 267 CW 150
  17. I had the same thing happen. I had an allergic reaction to the glue. I tried everything for the itch. The only thing that helped was a prescription hydrocortisone cream with a steroid in it. Good luck Sleeved 9/6/16 -267 CW 150
  18. Yes, I did. I had an allergic reaction to the glue they used. The only thing that worked was a prescription of a hydrocortisone cream with a steroid in it.
