Are there any Dallas or surrounding areas sleevers here? ?????

Im in Plano I was sleeved 11/16/12 and I'm down 12 since surgery and 17 since I began my pre surgery meals which was 11/14/12.

I have problems getting in liquids and Proteins. I have 5 weeks on my liquid phase and I'm sick of soup!!! Any ideas on what else I can have?

Just had surgery yesterday afternoon @ Forest Park Medical Center, Dallas. Was in my room @ 530pm... 600pm, I was given 2 flavors/2 bottles of Crystal Light and a bottled Water...and starting sipping sipping sipping... No nausea, no vomiting . I was off pain pump at 6am this morning, and just now, they removed IV liquids, I'm dressed, and walking to nurses station unassisted! Discharge is in the works! I just received a cheat sheet from Nuitrionist that says Clear Liquids day 1-7, full liquids (creamy Soups, strained, days 8-21, soft foods (shaved deli meats, canned tuna, fish, cottage cheeses, days 22-42. I think the hardest for me will be not chewing, and having to crush/ dissolve my meds... Yuk! Hang in there!!

Sounds like you are doing great! Very glad to hear it.

Take care of yourself and keep us posted.

Oops spoke to soon. Discharged and heading home (Flower Mound). And am now hurting in different areas. I think my insides are waking up, and letting me know it.

Could be, or could be your morophine is running out and now you are stuck with mortal meds instead by day 4 most of the major aches should be done

Thats what happened to me meds wore off and oh my, but thankfully I have some really good pain meds from my back injury. Good luck take it easy just because you feel ok remember you had major surgery.

2 days post op this morning caught my attention! Felt like a Mack truck ran over me last night. The air pockets moving about are not fun either! I've been very compliant with Bariatric Advantage post diet, a scoop of nectar and a scoop of crystals 3 x a day... And sipping Crystal Light all day. GasX strips once in awhile. Haven't needed the Pepcid AC yet. That's the worse part... crushing meds..my tongue all wacky tasting'! Good luck!'

@ Glenda_lee.... Who was your surgeon?

Dr. Nick Nicholson... 3 days post now, and wondering if everyone is having as much pain as I am, in my lower back! I can hardly sit on the toilet! lol...of course, yes, still feel like a truck ran over me from the surgery... But should my lower back be this painful? I didn't get a wink of sleep during my overnight at hospital, and I had bed almost completely upright position the entire time. Hope that's not what screwed my back up.

This may be posted somewhere on this thread, but there is a group that gets together in the Dallas / mid-cities area once a month for lunch. This month, it is the second Saturday in December in Lewisville. If you are interested in attending, I can PM you the email address for the hostess so you can RSVP.

@Sunny... please do!! I'm here in Flower Mound! I'll still be on my 3 week post op liquids only, but would love to meet some locals!! Thank You!
