What kind of exercise do you do?

I had mine done a week ago as well. Just getting to the point where I can tolerate chicken broth so I was able to meet my liquid goals. I am able to do sf popsicles and sf crystal lite. I tried at Jello and it tasted horrible. Not sure if it was just the flavor or what. I was thinking of trying some Soup today. What Soups are you having success with?

I eat Monarch soups. I like the chicken noodle, cream of chicken & tomatoes bail. They are high protein/low carb. I also like Campbell low-fat cream of chicken.

I was sleeved on the 3rd and most of my gas "chest pressure" is gone. I did use gas x for a few days and it helped. Not sure how you are passing gas, but the past few days I've been full of it and I feel so much better getting it out. I know tmi!

Today I am 1wk post-op from my sleeve surgery! Most of the chest pressure from when I drink is gone, thankfully! My bowels are working and I'm not nauseous! Praise the Lord for all these things! My stomach muscles are on the mend but still a bit sore when bending over or getting up. I have lots of bruising on my tummy. Other than that I'm able to do my protien drinks, Soups, sf Jello, sf popsicles, greek yogurt & cream of wheat. My first week I lost 6.5lbs! Yaya!

The day after surgery I started taking Reglan three times a day for 7 days. My doc says as long as the pill is smaller than a pepcid it was ok.

Hopefully it won't change my out of pocket expense! I've already paid a ton!

Sadly, I'm pretty sure it will. You will have to meet your deductible again, I'm sure.

I'm paying cash, so still going it won't change!

Look at it as a positive! All things happen for a reason and this is a very major surgery.

The time will past quickly and the 3rd will be here before u know it.

My potassium was significantly low and I was given meds to get it up and if it did not go up I would of had to reschedule. But everything worked out and I was able to go in healthy and nothing to cause major infections.

That's what the surgeon was concerned about, possible infection. He says this is elective and we don't need anything to go wrong. I agree!

I am so sorry. Are you following any kind of liver shrink diet that will now be extended as well? This all really stinks for you. I'm just glad it's simple like poison oak and not anything really really serious. Good luck!

Yes, I've been on a liquid diet for 2wks! (Lost 12lbs) The doctor told me I could eat this week then on Monday do my liquid diet again until the 3rd.

4 days before my surgery I broke out in hives had to reschedule for 2 weeks later cause they put me on steroids I made it an extra 2 weeks and u will too. I believe there's a reason for everything good luck

They gave me a steroid medicine to take for 6 days to get it good and cleared up!

Well I was scheduled for surgery today! After checking in and doing everything but being pushed into the OR, my surgery was canceled. I woke up yesterday with poison oak! It was starting to get on my stomach so the doctor just didn't feel comfortable doing it with the risk of infection. He's gone all next week for Christmas so I'm rescheduled for Jan. 3rd. Bummer!

I wonder about extra skin once I lose my extra weight. Can I ask what your stats are? I'm starting at 250lbs. Do you exercise much?
