Hi,

That sucks that you're having reasons to regret. That's pretty irresponsible of them to not notice the betadine warning or your instructions to stop. I hope you feel better. For what it's worth, I have similar feelings from time to time--they mostly happen when I miss my old eating habbits or my old menu (like a whole large pizza in one sitting). The almost 70 pounds I've lost, and the way my old clothes fall off me helps me get over it, though!

Hi,

I, too, am afraid of those kernel shells in there. They stick to my mouth, throat and in between my teeth and gums. I can only imagine what they'll stick to or get stuck to in my sleeve...

Hi,

I am two weeks post as of yesterday. I'm having a TERRIBLE time with the Protein shakes/powders/whatevers. I literally get nauseous at the MEMORY of the smell of whey Protein, let alone the taste. I've tried it in lots of things, but even the faintest scent of the whey makes me get that pre-vomiting salivation going, and I don't want to risk damaging my sleeve by vomiting this early. I'm worried about the fact that I'm only getting 200-300 calories per day and probably only 15 grams of protien. I'm only two weeks out and have already lost 30 pounds. I'm sure a lot of that is muscle, given how little protein I'm getting.

What do you think? :thumbup1:

Hi,

I'm 9 days post-op, and I'm off clears-only and have been enjoying cream-of-whatever Soups. I had some split-pea Soup this morning, but when I took a drink of Protein Water (about an hour later), my stomach started growling like crazy! My stomach hasn't made this much noise since pre-op hunger. Anyone experienced this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I had my procedure on a Friday, and was taking walks of 2 to 3 blocks by Monday. It's been 8 days now, and I feel great sometimes and have strange discomforts other times. I'm still trying to figure out what full or hungry feels like...

DO THE PRE-OP DIET!!!

I strayed off the path (big time), including splurging two nights before my surgery. In the end, the surgery took two hours, and they had to use so much gas (nitrogen, I think) to inflate my abdomen, that I've been feeling like I've had the bends ever since. I wouldn't wish this on the devil...
