G2 and Powerade zero is pretty good

Eat what you like Just remember what you eat will make or break you... It's your choice at the end of the day. You have to worry about your weight. You know how discipline you need to be. So here's to you enjoying your favorite snack *raises Protein Shake *

You are awesome!

Congrats twin I hope you are feeling as good as I do!

My wait time is 6 weeks 😩 I love the gym. Strength training, running and stair master! I'm only 5 days post so I'm walking every day until I can walk for 2 hours. 15- 30 the first week 30-45 the second week 45-1 the third week 1-115 the fourth week 115-130 fifth week and 130-2 the sixth week.

For me once a week I take a picture of the scales every Monday. Lately I’ve broken that, I’m 5 days post and hop on the scale daily. Scale has dropped everyday. Bad habit I know.

I got the candles, Marvin & Tammi Terrell ( I have no idea who that is)! 😊

Oh sleeve sister you got this. I have 4 children one has a disability and needs me 24/8. I have nurses in my home all day everyday, my husband works everyday of the week. Still had to cook, clean and find the time to take a break on top of work and studying but you know what I’m pulling it off. I’m kicking responsibilities butt 4 days post!

I’m still taking what the hospital provided which is oxycodine but I gave no problem with it or Tylenol. Maybe your pain is something else. Have you spoke to your surgeon?

Okay great! I think I was told the same but wasn’t sure.

Me and my husband have a very healthy sex life. I had the sleeve on Monday and my sex drive is pretty high. It’s like I can’t even look at him without grabbing at him. Is 4 days post ops too soon?

I was told Protein first but I’m getting liquids in all day. I believe pain, fever and some other symptoms.

Thanks guys, I just wish now that I had someone I could vent to. And when it comes down to it, I am hurt by my Mom who said she was doing the diet with me (she is diabetic so not recommended but she wanted to).

I know this is mental more than physical the cravings. I know this is my life now. But as I sit here and drink Big Win chicken broth, all I want is pureed next steps because just liquid is not me.

I was sleeved on Monday, August 6. Went home the next day. Feeling good...get tired easy and can’t get in all my Protein and Water but I’m told Water is more important at this point. Staying active and off pain meds by Wednesday. I just wish I knew when I’m “full” as I am afraid of leaks becuase apparently you don’t know when you have one which seems odd. I don’t want to eat too much (we’ll drink) and cause more problems so if anyone has some advice there, it would be appreciated. I’m probably worrying about nothing.

My cuts all are feeling fine...even woke up on my stomach last night so I know those are heeling well.

I am so unhappy right now. Yesterday, as we did not have Campbell's Tomato Soup, I was having progresso tomato-basil Soup. it was fine and tasted great with some flash pain while hitting stomach but last night had a lot of stomach pain which continued through today. Made no sense, came in waves, no food in stomach (6 hours later) when this started. Also, the additional pain was no where near incisions but in mid stomach area. Today, I feel blah and run down.

Throughout all this all I want is pureed food. Or different Soups. and it DOES NOT HELP when your mother, the person you are with, constantly is making 1 or 2 meals daily (pot pie or ravioli) which she knows you love and you can SMELL. Even after you ask her REPEATEDLY to stop, eat cold food, go out, do ANYTHING ELSE.

I regret it all. I don't want this anymore. Between the pain, and my brain, and the fact I can't even eat pureed foods for another week, and I am so tired, and feel trapped, and feel like no one in my life cares, I don't want this anymore.

Followmysleeve on Instagram good luck all

Ask if the hospital offer Vitamins maybe cheaper if not come on to Greensboro Westly long has them cheap.

Hey I've been looking for a place to post this, I almost put it in the post surgery 💩forum but I am still before surgery and I want to kinda whine, I am on Day#10 of a whole month liver-shrink diet. I am having 💩problems to be honest. My Stoll doesn't like leaving me, Oh it isn't what I would call Constipation, I always heard that way hard textured and this isn't hard. I'm on 1000 calorie,100 gram Protein,70 grams carb diet. Maybe it's that my colon muscles are 72 years old, maybe it isn't as firm as it once was and my muscles can't get a Firm hold, but it aches and I have sit there for not all spectacular results. The last few days I've resorted to Miralax, maybe a little help? My preconceived notion was I would have diarrhea , nope hasn't happened, am I worrying for nothing? I had more defecation fun when I was eating at will, but I do want and need this surgery. Is this common?

@KRush88 where do you get your Vitamins for 25.00 every 2 months

I heard Tums was a no-no because it's Calcium carbonate vs. calcium citrate. Vitamins are outrageously expensive. I'm curious about the patch, (although I've been told that I can't use that until I'm about 3 months post surgery)

It's so confusing!

Omgosh I pay about 25 for my Vitamins for 2 months. I would die if I had to pay more! We can take tums as Calcium though so that cut cost a lot.
