Yes, eating helps control hunger. Thank you for your contribution.

No they never gave me one but I had like a Faja that I wore a couple days after the surgery and it felt good. I work for TSA so we'll see what happens tonight with these crazy passengers

I go back to work tonight so I'll probably try to eat an egg. Hopefully

Try for 1/3 or 1/2 the first time. You don't want to make yourself miserable. Good luck!

Exactly! now with my week three coming up i started to schedule my meals since this morning ... with the variety i have now discovered im able to add structure to my meal plan.. So far so good,

i knock out good but can only sleep for 4 or 5 hours too.. , last night i tried my first egg... i had to walk it out because it didnt settle well.

I was released 24 hours after the surgery after a night of a lot standard test, a few laps around the recovery floor and two visits with the physical therapist... I'm home now ..other then drinking a bit too much juice with my Vitamins, which resulted with it coming back up, I've been sleeping fine and up and about just conscious of the delicate nature I find myself in . honestly it wasn't too bad... it was the fear that weighed me down the most..but all that is now gone.

great, on full liquids. exploring avocados and cheese, . the pain is none existent... im almost afraid of forgetting about the surgery and exerting myself... what stage are you?

not too bad the only pain I feel is the co2 in the abdomen and chest, feel like I can't burp, but the initial walk around the recovery floor is alleviating that... honestly the worse part by far was the anticipation and fear. Thanks Dr. Mir Ali and the staff at Fountain Valley Regional... it's been a great experience this far

congrats on your new journey... it took me three years to get my sleeve but because my doctors kept dropping my inaurance...im currently 5 days post surgery and after the initial gas pangs from the co2, I'm so happy with my decision to stick with it... don't let your mind be your worse enemy because for me, the anxiety is what almost made me give up a few times... so no matter what obstacles are coming , stick with it! you will be proud of all the hard work your about to contribute to your self being.

congratulations, It’s a big step in making the decision. It won’t be easy. It was a 6 month process from seminar to surgery.
Good Luck, and please thank your husband for his service and for both of your sacrifices.

Excellent!
Will you have other supports in place to help with your and your daughters care during the operation and recovery period if you are sleeved in early October?

46 hours after surgery, 18 hours since arriving home...
lol auto correct... i meant to say the staff were very sympathetic . from the moment i arrived till my discharge... i was even visited by the hospital manager and even though; im guessing its standard procedure , it was very calming for my nerves. Dr. Ali came to see me before hand and that was reassuring as well... so other then the hopefully temporary pangs of the left over co2 gas in my abdomen and chest (which are painful id rate a 6/10), it wasnt such a tremendous deal as i had made it out to be ,, it was the fear that created conflict in my psyche about undergoing this rather overwhelming change on my lifestyle.. i really dont regret nothing ...

I'm about 53 hrs out of the gastric sleeve surgery and about 24 hours back home...i found that the worst part was the gas... I bought some almond milk mixed with coconut milk by a brand called silk and I've been able to drink a satisfying amount without it having it come back up and I've felt the gas pangs have subsided since...ive drank about 6 ounces over 5 hours and though the bloating is still there the gas pangs have calmed severely.. obviously I'm not a doctor I'm just spreading this discovery p..s. the mini fridge I bought for my room upstairs but those cactus coolers are not mine lol...

44 hrs after the surgery...
took half a valium to knock out...otgerwise no significant pain, and I've actually slept on my stomach...things are normal, someone asked if I was grossed out by food, I said no it smells good what they are eating but it's a feeling like when you have the flu, you can't eat because you just can't (in your mind)...i over did it on the juice a couple times when taking my Vitamins and it came back up...so I gotta be real mindful how much liquid is coming in..

Hi Mamalala, do you remember a certain point when the pain subsided? I was feeling great at the hospital, but I’m in more pain that I am at home.
