I had a hard time not eating crackers with my tuna also, I have since started substituting cucumber slices for the crackers and find that it satisfies my craving

After I posted this, I read a few other posts and I realized that I really do need to put the scale away. I wholeheartedly believe the sleeve is a tool and if I keep doing what is recommended, it will all work out.
It's going to be ok. I'll keep you in my prayers, which I need to remind myself that God is in control if I let him be.
God bless you on this journey. Stay positive and keep us posted. You're going to be fine.

I was sleeved on the 18th. I did not have any gas pains, but I believe it's because I used essential oils in my feet the morning of the surgery and had it reapplied by my husband that evening in my hospital room. I only got nauseous in the hospital once after asking for some Tylenol for the headache I had. It was so syrupy and it was grape flavored, which I've never liked.
When I got home, I did have a hard time getting my Protein and Water down for the first few days. Not until day 4 did I finally get 2 nectar Protein drinks (60g total) down and chicken broth. Of course lots of Water too.
This Wednesday I moved up to full liquid vs clear liquid and now drinking a vanilla Premier Protien shake in the morning, Choclate Premier Protien for lunch and BariatricPal Cream of chicken Soup for lunch. I do water down my Premier Protien shakes with water a little as they are pretty thick.
I had hernia and sleeve surgeries. After walking 1.5 miles yesterday, I was a little sore, but overall doing good.
Bless you on your journey! Would love to hear how you're doing.
God bless!

In the beginning, I lost like 18lbs and then I gained 5 and hit the 3 week stall. It all came off. Head down, nose to the grind stone, it will all be ok.

Thank you. I was fortunate to be able to get in and out of my own bed first night home (day 2). I'm a side sleeper, so that was tricky, but actually got into a comfy spot for most of the night.
I haven't taken any pain meds today, yet. Resting a lot though. I did take a nausea pill when I first got up though. Was able to get my multi Vitamin down today and am drinking Water and chicken broth.
I'm having trouble drinking 48 oz. working up to it for sure. Thanks again for your comments.

Old info but here is where I was. I'm 5'7" and my surgery date was 8/29/16.

Have any of you used Essential Oils during you weight loss? Imam wondering if you find Frankensece helpful? Or perhaps some of the citrus oils a good way to flavor your Water?

Just at pre-op and it got rescheduled for the 18th. Everything happens for a reason. God is good.
