I would say take a sip. Just my opinion. Just a sip. Because I think if you do you may see that you no longer have that taste for it and your craving might be gone? That's what happened to me. But I understand that everyone is different.

Bad habits are hard to break but you can. I am 4 months post surgery. I loved diet soda prior to surgery. For whatever reason I have had a sip here or there but it doesn't taste the same. I could careless about it now. I love Crystal light, unsweetened tea and diet lemonade from chic fil la!

I have not regrets either! It is definitely a new way of life with eating but I am embracing it!

4 months! I was hoping it would better before then! My recovery went so easy- this is my biggest hiccup?

I am 5 weeks post op and it is still uncomfortable to eat. No pain just uncomfortable feeling. Anyone have any idea how long this last?

25 days post op. Nothing taste good and I never feel satisfied. I wish I could eat small portions and feel content. Anyone else feel this way and anyone had this and no how long before it will get better?

I was told it was ok to shower next day just dry pat dry incisions and no baths until tape on incisions falls off on its own.

2 weeks post surgery. I feel great! All soreness is gone I feel physically very normal/myself. Down 20 lbs since the started the 2 week liver reduction diet. No regrets! All future sleevers it worth it!

Oct 5th- I weigh every day! Lol!

I feel your pain. My surgery was oct 5th as well. I can start eating soft foods 23rd after my dietician meeting. I am sick of liquid only! I sometimes feel a little hungry. I think that it is only because I want something other than liquid.

10 days post surgery. I am ready for some soft foods! Can not believe I have one more week to go! I am sick of soups and shakes!

I am gonna go to Sams today and try these! Thanks for sharing!

So it does seem to be the norm for someone to call. Not sure why my hospital or dr office have never called. Doesn't seem like good practice.

I agree that we have the intelligence enough to know if we need to call a dr- I am just use to someone calling. It is time consuming but lot of medical provides call. My husband just recently had outpatient hamstring surgery. His dr office called the next day to check o him. when I had both of my children. The hospital called both times.

One week and a day post surgery. Find it odd that my doctor's office nor the hospital has called to check on me. Isn't that the norm that someone calls to see how you are doing?maybe it's not.

I was told at hospital that if I had forgotten my cpap they would supplied one for me. They make you use it.

Good luck! Hopefully your done with it!

Oh no! My surgery just last week but I was hoping that once I dropped some weight I would be able to come off of my cpap. I am still hoping. ?

Anyone came off their cpap due to weight reduction?

Anyone come off cpap after surgery?

Sleeved Oct 5th at Rex in Raleigh NC

Hair brush, chapstick, cell phone and charger

What in the world! Why didn't you get sent home with some good meds! My dr prescribed me some liquid pain meds that I filled before surgery. It knocked my pain out quick! You should call and ask for something stronger.

I guess it is different for everyone but I only stayed in the hospital 1 night and I was sleeved, gall bladder removed and hernia repair. I stayed in hospital gown until I was released because my iv came out literally about an hour before I went home. My dr told me rule of thumb for staying extra night is- when the nurses are doing something for you that you can't do yourself you need stay otherwise time to check out.

Don't over pack for the hospital! You change as soon as you get there so wear home what you wear to the hospital. Tooth brush and tooth paste already provided for me and in my room. The hospital that I was at also provided me with socks to go with hospital gown so I didn't need slippers. I stayed one night I showered once I got home the next day. I did freshen up with soap and wash clothes provided. So all I really needed was chap stick, brush, hair band, cell phone and charger.
