@Yvonne47 I had a yeast infection about a week post op. Went away after 2 diflucan then I had to take steroids for an elbow injury which caused it to come back. Again took 2 diflucan and I’ve been fine ever since. I think it was the stress of surgery that caused it initially. I’ve been fine since then (about 2 months). Hoping yours resolves soon.

Most bigger airports have some sort of gourmet markets now. In Detroit, it’s Plum Market in the Delta terminal.

Yeah I get that. I travel a lot for work so I belong to the Delta Sky Club. They usually have hard boiled eggs...

I did the home test that I connected myself. Apparently one or more leads were loose so they couldn’t use the results. Had to have an in-lab test next as a result.

This is way too soon to be going out to eat. I didn’t go out to eat till I could at least eat soft foods. Too much too soon, I think. It gets easier!

It’s pretty hard to eat much salad at 3 months. I’m at the same stage but was cleared for veggies and fruit at 6 weeks. When I’ve ordered salad out, I get the smallest salad possible with some quality Protein on it and focus on eating the protein. Salad Dressing is very high calorie so be careful how much you use, if any.

I was still pretty swollen at 2 weeks too. By 3-4 weeks, I started to see a difference in my upper abdomen. It was shrinking. Lower abdomen is slower for me. Sleeved 8/20. 53 lbs down, 62 to go.

18 lbs first month. I lost nothing the week after surgery because I gained so much weight (fluid) in the hospital.

I’m almost halfway to goal and I’m finding Kohl’s is good for the sizes on the way down. Not pricey. Good selection. No longer need to go to the Plus department—yeah!!

I took 2 1/2 weeks off and for the first week back was pretty tired. If I could do it over, I would take 3 weeks. One week doesn’t seem adequate unless you do nothing but work and sleep.

Unjury chocolate splendor mixed with Fairlife milk is the only Protein Shake I can drink post surgery (8/20 sleeve). Had to throw all the others away!

I had antibiotics in the OR. I would call your surgeon’s nurse and discuss your concerns.

Cell phone and charger was all I needed. Wouldn’t plan to bring any clothes that touch your waist. Those were pretty uncomfortable for about 2 weeks. I went home the next day and showered at home so didn’t need any toiletries. Hospital had toothbrush/paste.

My program wanted 64 oz plus ASAP. It sounds like you’re doing great!
