When I left the hospital I had a script for medication to counter act stomach spasms. I would ask your surgeon if you could get one for your stomach.

When I started my pre-op diet (back in Dec.), I drank a lot of water also, that in itself helped my hunger pains. Ladies you both have this. The end is so worth it. Hang in there you've got this.???

I also agree. Any amount of weight lost is a great thing.

You are going to do great. ??

I was sleeved 12/11/18 and have had no problems. If you over eat (filling you new tummy just one more bite) you can feel sick or can vomit. Just mind you P & Qs and things should go well.

I snack because I don't get enough calories a day. I'm still under 600 calories and my PA wants me to eat at least 600 calories. My tummy doesn't like it when it is too full. I get very nauseous.

I started as soon as I got home.

I had to completely stop a water pill, fish oil. I am now taking all the rest of my medications everyday.

I was told to eat 6 small meals a day and includes 3 small snacks.

CONGRATULATIONS to both of you. ?

Even if they did lose it "the old fashion way" they can afford all these trainers and home gyms that the rest of us can't.

I would say not to get up in the middle of the night but that is me. I think they got you up like that to help prevent blood clots and to help with gas. I would call your surgeon's office if you are not sure what you should do.

I take my time because I tend to get sick to my stomach if I eat too fast. Just conscientiously slow down and take your time.

Yes, if I drink to fast or to big of a drink I feel like I have big bubble in my stomach and it goes into my back. Just slow down and take your time. I have only gotten to bottles of water in so far and have only gotten all my protein in once. Still haven't gotten all of my fiber in. I am 3 weeks out today.

Congratulations on you weight loss.

Happy New Year and health choices for everyone.

I turned 63 the day of my surgery (December 11). I am almost 3 weeks out and have lost 29 pounds. I'm just happy that the weight has started coming off.

Okay I had to laugh because that was funny.

Has anyone ever been so zoned out before surgery that they don't remember a thing? When they got ready to take me down to surgery I was given an injection of what ever and don't remember being wheeled in surgery, getting on the table. I barely remember someone saying this is only oxygen and that was totally it. I don't remember recovery (my husband said I was in there for 2 hours), I don't remember leaving and taken to my room. I barely remember someone asking me if I thought I could walk to my bed (gurney could not be taken in the room). I barely remember stumbling (I had a lot of help) to the bed, don't remember getting into bed.

Thank you

I'm not sure when my pureed phase will end. I don't see my surgeon until March. I was sleeved December 11, 2018

I had the sleeve 2 1/2 weeks ago and have started pureed foods and so far I have been able to tolerate things I have tried.

WOW you look great!! Congratulations.

I understand the constipation so I took Milk of Magnesia, help some. Start weight: 244, Surgery weight: 227, Current weight: 215 Hang in there things will start to move.

I can also eat saltines, that's why I asked about Ritz.
