I was able to take my jeans off yesterday WITHOUT unbuttoning them......love it!

I wouldn't exactly describe it as being "tickled from the inside" - it was a very strange feeling- it didn't hurt but I was glad when he FINALLY stopped removing it!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Congrats and look forward to hearing more when you have a chance to post Take Care

What are some learned tricks of the trade for head hunger? I do really well all day until the family sits down for dinner. Then the head hunger goes crazy!! All day long I am fine but come dinner time I would love to cheat and dig into a piece of chicken ( not there yet) Please help I don't want to just avoid dinner time all together- that is one of the few times everyone is all together.( I have two teenage children who stay on the move!)

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since Surgery and I feel absolutely wonderful. Essentially no pain or discomfort with surgery at all. I was walking the neighborhood the day after I got home from the hospital and have been at the gym once a day since 5 days post op. I have had a little trouble with head hunger but all in all life is good. I could have gone back to work probably after a week, maybe week and a half but I am taking 3 weeks off. I am enjoying just focussing on myself.

Tiff that is wonderful! Thanks for sharing

Tiff that is GREAT!! So happy for you!

I was told no fluids 30 min before or 30 min after food- for the same reasons you listed above- mainly it pushes food out of your stomach too fast

I guess I am just a determined side sleeper- I was doing it in the hospital right after my surgery. It would take me a few minutes to get there but I did it...lol

I would like to scuba dive again too

Thank you for sharing your story. I was nervous before surgery but now post op I know this is the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

Oh I want so much- I want to hike in the mountains again, to go white water rafting, the sexy bras, to never wear black again unless I want to, to fit in my daughter's jeans (size 10), to first walk a 5k and then run one, to sit on the sofa with my legs crossed, to get up off the floor without it being a struggle, and most of all I want to look in the mirror and to be proud and love how I look!

Great Job! I am happy for you!

Cajun that is wonderful!! Happy for you

Congrats Vegas- wonderful news!!

Welcome to the site! I was also sleeved Sept 21st- we can make this journey together.

Relax Tiff, deep breathe.... all will be fine!!

Welcome Judy! This is a wonderful site --- glad you are joining us

I had my sleeve surgery a week ago today, and I feel absolutely wonderful! I wasn't sure how I would do post op so I took 3 weeks off work- I am sure I will be going back to work next week. This week I am focussing on me. I am working out at the gym, going for walks in the neighbourhood and enjoying watching the scale move downwards. Just wanted to share how great I feel!:blushing:

I have some of the tablets and was concerned about swallowing the pills immediately post op. So I had the Dr write me a prescription for prilosec liquid. OMG! I have never tasted anything so horrible!!!! I think I will try adding SF syrup to it!!! lol So far acid reflux hasn't been a problem post op but I would love to find a solution to that horrible tasting liquid prilosec!!

Can you get the capsule prilosec over the counter I can only find the tablets

Are they prescription or over the counter? I haven't seen the capsules- you just open up the capsules or do you swallow them?

Prilosec doesn't come in a chewable or liquid does it?
