Colchabay replied to killerqueen86's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

I'm only on soft proteins phase, so just meats and cheeses basically. I don't eat anything that doesn't count towards protein because I really don't care about eating anyways. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Anyone else have a constant bad taste in your mouth that makes everything you eat taste the same? IDK if it's from the Vitamins or what. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Looks great, I used to get lemon water from Sonic until I saw the girl that takes the money squeezing lemons into my water with her bare hands. 🤢 Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I did have pain early on when getting up and sometimes at night. I no longer have pain at all, just numbness. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Three weeks post op, worked in the yard and garden today. It was so hard because I have no energy! Hard to imagine it getting better while only consuming less than 500 calories a day, but I'm hopefull it will. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
Is it in your outter thigh? I have it too. It is only in one leg for me, it's just a minor annoyance, especially when it itches. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

1st restaurant outing with the family. Note to self - when they say what would you like to drink you don't need a drink, the ice water that you usually drink is tempting sitting in front of me. And when they ask what size ALWAYS choose small. Today I ordered egg drop soup and she asked if I wanted Small, Medium or Large I didn't know what to say so I said medium because I never order small anythings well the old me that is.

Panhandle Weight Loss Center Amarillo, Texas. Excellent reviews and personally zero regrets, everyone there is great. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was worried about this as well. After much research you can't stretch your stomach easily. As far as water goes it goes straight through as the pyloric valve is always open for fluids to go through. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

When I'm busy at home or out running about, I've discovered that I'm too busy to take a 20 to 30 min break to eat. I was very excited to start my week 3 foods today and ended up having a protein shake for lunch because it was too hard and would take too long to eat food. I had a mozerella cheese today and it took me over 45 minutes to finish it. Maybe I'm just being over cautious. I really don't feel hungry and don't care about eating. I just get a weak feeling when I haven't eaten in a long time. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

I don't have a pureed stage. My stage after 2 weeks of full liquids is soft proteins. Plant protiens, tender meats, eggs and dairy. Good luck. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
2 weeks until revision, and not feeling it....

Google it. I think you'll learn more about it than what I know as I don't know much about it. My Dr. is Dr. Peterson from Panhandle Weight Loss Center. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

I don't understand getting the revision when you're at goal weight. I understand your concerns. My Dr. Does the Linx Procedure for GERD, have you looked into that yet? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
Day 5 post op. I assumed I needed to start vitamins now. I hate then I chew on them but getting 4 down per day is terrible. I don't think I've succeeded yet. I'll keep trying though. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

4 days post op. Everything went fine. Little to no gas pains. My larger incision is hurting more than the first few days. It hurts around the incision like a bruise. Also my left upper leg is numb and tingly. Anyone else have these symptoms? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

I had my surgery yesterday. I told them I took Mucinex the day before and that was fine with them. They said I can continue that after surgery as well. But I guess the antibiotics helped me and I don't need it as of now. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Am I the last Feb surgery date? Mine is the 28th. I'm getting a cold, I hope it doesn't effect my date. My Dr does the sleeve as day surgery. They said I'll be heading home as soon as 2 hours afterwards. Feeling nervous and appreciate everyone's comments and information on this thread. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app
