daily caloric count
I can eat 1600 a day easy. I need to go down to 1200. i don't do protein shakes. Is that my problem? If I drank moire I would not be able to eat as much right? I am a former bander and actually have enjoyed my sleeve allowing me to be more normal, which has backfired slightly. I am still losing but VERY slow. Actually none in 2 weeks. I eat carbs too. I need to do 2 protein shakes a day and go protein only right? Can somebody repost the guidelines? My doc is very lenient and I don't have a NUT.

Bougie Size and Restriction
My Dr. Used a 36 and made it snug. It is not too tight but I have to work at the Fluid intake. Sometimes I wish it were tighter. I can eat a whole pack of oatmeal but am very satisfied. The first few times I seemed full on 1/2. But I am full on 2/3. Have to wrap my head around it. Still learning. When I overheat I hit the wall without a lot of warning and then feel miserable!

should I go to weight watchers?
I think so. You will stay on track to healthy choices and not be hungry with small portions.

Hematoma
Everything would be good, except for this lousy hematoma attached to my left side. I hate it and I hate waiting to see if it will reabsorb on its own. That is what is expected. Nobody on here has had one it seems, but when I google it- it pops up for people with hysterectomies often. It is only mildly painful bit is like a small toy football in size. I guess it scares me.

small football left side
A Hematoma. Will reabsorb. Since I am on antibiotics, I should be fine. No extra restrictions. Quite a relief.

Feeling really bad tonight
I think you would do great. I have the ok to advance my diet and it is so good to feel totally satisfied on a 1/4 c. chicken salad and not want more. I love it. That raging hunger and bottomless pit is gone forever. It will be so much easier to create new habits that wont be sabotaged by the hunger pangs. A yogurt is a great lunch, before I would have died of hunger! A diet failure always! So much more iin life to do besides filling that empty hole!

small football left side
I had surgery 8 days ado and would be good except I developed swelling on lest side the size of a small football. The incision was red with serous drainage and heat, so I started on Keflex.. Incision better and less redness. No drainage after 2 days, but this bump of swelling still remains. Going to Dr. today.
