Thank you

My sister and I went to Mexicali last monday with Dr. Aceves and it was an amazing experience. We were in a private hospital and it was SOOO clean, people were constantly cleaning our rooms and checking on us. Everyone was soo nice and very helpful. They contacted us when we got home just to make sure we got home ok and even before the surgery they kept in contact by email and also provided soooo much information regarding the surgery. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Aceves!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck everyone. I'm a week out today. Feeling much better, but I'm struggling with getting protein in. Gotta find a nutritionist and get to work on some ideas. Lots of stuff making me gag.

Congrats to everyone who is newly sleeved. To all who will be sleeved soon, good luck!!! xoxo

Good luck everyone. I'm a week out today. Feeling much better, but I'm struggling with getting protein in. Gotta find a nutritionist and get to work on some ideas. Lots of stuff making me gag.

I had the same problem and everything I used to like I started to hate. Worry about getting as much fluid (water, crystal light, decaff tea, etc.) in and perhaps try Isopure or Cytomax Nectar for the protein. I spent way too much money on different protein shakes and I hated them all (even my favorite pre-surgery) and something happened yesterday and I was able to get my Pure Protein down again. It was just a weird change in my taste buds and thankfully I can now handle protein shakes. It still isn't that great and it's a little hard getting down but I was afraid I would never be able to stand the taste again.

Good luck.

Has anyone found out what scientific process happens that change one's tadte buds? I hear it time and again and am so curious. I am a picky eater....don't like eggs, broccoli, many cooked veg. I am hopeful all of these things will be yummy in the future, but can't figure out why that would be!

I'm going home today...yay!!!

I dont know the scientific process, but I can say yes your taste buds do indeed change...alot of the protein drinks I had in my house before surgery makes me ill now

I'm going home today...yay!!!

Glad to hear that Little Bits!

Yay Little bits, congrats!!! Dad, how are you feeling? PEvette, I'm so glad I am not alone. I actually liked Muscle Milk and right now thinking about it makes me sick. I loved my Pure Protein 100% Whey Frosty Chocolate and I hated it so much I went 1-1/2 weeks without trying it again. I have had them two days in a row, while I don't LOVE them, I can at least tolerate them.

Thinking about the smell of chocolate does something gross to me tummy. I am craving Tuna, Pickles, Tabasco, and I would be fine if it was all mixed together. I couldn't get in 3 tiny teaspoons of 1% cottage cheese smashed up today without my stomach feeling like it was rolling over on itself.

I'm bummed but one day I am going eat a pickle and tuna and slurp on some tabasco.

Mina,

Thanks for asking! I am at home doing pretty well. Liquids are not a problem, pain is not much of a problem, and I am resting well.

Since I tend to be very wordy and like picture, I am blogging this on my blog, for anyone who is interested. The current post is part one (the surgery/recovery portion) of my transition over to the loser's bench. Part two will be how I am doing at home. Here is the address to go to: Officially-On-The-Losers-Bench-Part-1

Have a great evening!

The old June compilation thread would not allow me to edit any longer it got too big, so i had to condense it, and I added new people to it - it's located here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/42535-updated-new-june-sleeve-compilation/
