    How are the May sleevers doing?

    I'm am doing ok. Had period of pains here and there. I was moved to "regular" foods yesterday and I am just trying to slowly incorporate things to see how much tummy reacts. I am down 50 lbs woo hoo. Haven't started vitamins because I was getting sick off them. I Ordered patches as a last resort, we will see how that goes once I get them.
  2. I am currently 5 weeks PO and have been dealing with upper back pain or maybe rather soreness (it's hard to explain) since surgery. At first I knew it was gas but now I have no clue. I have had tests ran and everything comes back good. I am taking a PPI twice a day, but still can't see to find out why I am having so many aches and pains. I even bought a sleep number bed to accommodate the changes and it's still not working. Has anyone had the same issue?
  3. OMG I haven't even thought about my bra. I have already lost a lot of weight in that area and they have been uncomfortable to wear. Thank you so much, I will look into a massage also, they always make things so much better

    May 2018 losers bench

    Hi Everyone, I had my surgery on 5/7. I am hanging in there still adjusting to the new stomach, and trying to figure out what she does and does not like. I am surprised how much my taste buds have changed. I find it hard to get in my protein because I gave up on the protein drinks they made me so sick and the unjury unflavored has an aftertaste that I can't stomach either. I haven't been getting in all my fluids the last couple of days because I am finding it harder to drink even 30 min after eating because I still feel full. I am healing up pretty nicely, but have some minor pains here and there because I am still trying to get a comfortable sleeping position.

    Won't you be able to go to soft foods in a couple of days? It is really hard my family keeps eating all this delicious food in front of me and I still feel hungry, lol. My stomach has been growling and making all kinds of weird noises lately.

    Are you on full liquids or clear liquids still? I am also a kaiser patient and had vsg on the 7th, but I am on full liquids so I am more content than last week, lol.

    Any MAY sleevers???

    I do plan on it after I lose more weight. I'm on zoloft and get the zaps if I miss a day. I've been on them forever so it will be nice to get off them.

    Hi teather. I deal with generalized anxiety and panic disorder. Was sleeved 5/7. I understand how you feel. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions. The docs gave me anti anxiety meds before I got wheeled back. I had also taken my klonopin before surgery. It helped a lot.

    CALLING ALL 2 WEEK PRE-OP DIETERS.

    Hi Everyone! Today is my first day of two weeks pre op diet. I had a muscle milk drink for breakfast and it was gross, lol. Anyone have suggestions of good protein drinks?

    Any MAY sleevers???

    I started my 2 week liver shrinking diet today. My first drink from muscle milk is GROSS. Trial and error I guess. Anyone have any good suggestions? I'm going to grab some premier today after work, but I think I may want to try tasteless protein post opp to add to foods. Anyone else on the liver shrinking yet? How is it going for you?!

    I hear you. I hate feeling anxiety because I don't know if I can fit in something and get embarrassed. I can understand how you'd feel about skiing, although I never tried, I would definitely be scared I wouldn't be able to get up We will be pushing through this together May is our month!
