Hello all!

I've been lurking for a few weeks and feel ready to introduce myself. I was sleeved on Friday 2/24/12 and am struggling the first few days post op. my high weight was 224 and post op weight was 210. I weighed in at 200 lbs this morning! Very excited about that!

I'm struggling with getting all my fluids and Protein and I seem to swallow a lot of air and get hiccups often. How can I fix this?

Anyway I'm excited to start this journey with all of you!

Hi I'm a newbie also. First day on here and my surgery was on 2/15/12. I been having problems with the puréed foods (they are just nasty!) and would rather be on the liquid diet! However cottage cheese goes down real good!

I have been feeling sick and nauseated. Not sure why but could be from my liquid multivitamin. I think this might be just part of what i have to go through. They say everyone is different.

I can't believe how much weight u have already lost. I think I have lost about 20 so far.

Let me know how you are feeling and how you are doing. Take cake!

Hello and welcome! You look just like Marilyn Monroe!!!

Congrats on your new sleeve! How exciting!! I would just say stay slow and steady when swallowing your water/liquids. I get hiccups when I eat or drink too fast. Also when I am full, I will hiccup. They quickly go away though so it's not that bad.

Thanks for introducing yourself and please keep us informed!! Again, CONGRATS!!!!

Hey Ohjilliankay,

Congrats on your surgery!! I am from Orlando also. Who is your Dr? Mine is Jawad. I was sleeved 2-15-12.. So I'm 2 weeks out today.

I'm not sure about the hiccups. I've gotten them a few times for no reason at all. My problem has been burping.. a lot and loudly. I'm hoping this goes away with time. You'll learn your body's new signals for things with time. It's like starting all over again.

Everyday gets a little better and easier. I feel almost back to normal now except I can't eat a ton of food anymore. but that's a good thing!

Hey CONGRATS to our Newbie's! This has been the best choice that I have ever made. I love my sexy body and wish I would have done it sooner. ;)

Congrats on your surgery , I alway get hippcup when I am full or when i drink and I am 4 weeks post op

Hey Merydia710! My dr was Keith Kim at celebration. Where is Jawad? It's been such a huge adjustment! What advice can you share with me.

Do u drink with a straw? I was told not to drink with a straw, because ur sucking up air when u drink, & I was told smart water is better because it goes down much smoother

Congrats to all of you!! I was also sleeved recently- 2/8. It is a huge adjustment, but a good one! I am still on liquid diet. I get hiccups when I drink too much at a time or when I am tired. Its normal to be "gassy" after this surgery as all of your insides were moved around and lots of swelling still in your pouch. Good luck to you all!!
