Hi guys. So I am spending another day at the hospital since I only had 3 ounces of fluid in the last 10 hours. I am just not hungry. Seems like I like hot better then cold. I love the broth so much. No pain in my tummy maybe my shoulder hurts a little but not bad at all. I walked a lot today and I felt just fine. Don't be scared. Just know that day one won't be easy. At least line wasn't

Praying for you.

How r u? We haven't heard from u. Hope all is well

Hey Hun. I'm doing okay. No pain but I am feeling emotionally sad. I miss food. Being just on liquids is hard ... I miss food I had pain on the second day but after that I was fine

Glad no pain for you Dona. Every day is better. Food will come soon enough. Almost 7 weeks out and finally I do not have to read a list to see what I can have. My daughter is in New Orleans right now and I am thinking of what she is eating LOL. I think we will be missing some foods the rest of our lives, but look where that got us, loving those foods. Fat, sluggish, feeling awful, could barely walk, miserable, depressed. That was me.

You are right. I was so busy getting everything done for the insurance I didn't prepare my self at all. I was at the hospital for 3 days because I couldn't drink more than 2 ounces but as soon as I came home I wanted everything lol.. Even Milk which I never ever drink lol .

I know it will get easier and this was my choice. I think my surgeon forgot to sleeve me because I can drink with no problem at all... No gas pain at all. Drinking liquids is time consuming. I want this to be over so I can eat some pudding and yogurt. It will make feel like human. Every time I feel ow and sad I come here and see pictures of others and receipts and how they can eat again. Makes me have hope. I haven't taken any medication since I got home .. Planning to go back to work on Monday since it will be easier not having a kitchen around haha...

But honestly, is it normal that I can chug my juice(diluted) with no problem? I still for like plain Water which is sad because I love water.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Nothing taste as good as Skinny does

That's for sure thank you so much for such kind words. Can't wait to see that scale move for once haha

I like that, nothing tastes as good as skinny, not that I would know in my lifetime yet lol! Dona, I felt like my doctor made my sleeve too large lol or forgot to sleeve me also so I know that feeling. But a few bites of chicken breast eaten too quickly or not chewed sufficiently let me know he definitely sleeved me lol! I can drink without restriction, and drink Water all day. Avoiding juices, even diluted. Have you tried Crystal Light? They make so many wonderful flavors, Mango, etc.

I got the puddings too but found after a small pack, it did not interest me. Even my diabetic husband, who had his sugar free pudding religiously, keeps avoiding what I made him LOL. That is great because his blood sugar readings are 110, not 300-400. Halleujah! What I enjoy most is something like cottage cheese, even for dinner.

I think going to work can help you get your mind off food. I just retired, and I am stuck in a chair with my foot propped up with gout in my toe, and can barely walk. So this laptop is entertaining me, at least it keeps my mind occupied. I cannot wait to start walking again. It has been a week now.

But I am HAPPY! All that matters. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I tried the crystal light but I am not liking it maybe I should force myself. I am such a picky eater that it's ridiculous how I gained weight. Oh it was the soda and junk food lol.

I am scared I have a leak since I can drink so comfortably without any restrictions. I have no pain at all. I feel fine

Just drink what you like. I have no leak, no restriction, no pain, no gas, and feel fine also!!!!! Relax, you are okay!

This makes me so happy. I was soooo scared you have no idea . Like I said I felt like I didn't have the sleeve. I feel fine and no gas problems either. Can't wait to see the doc on Thursday so he can say in fine because I am ready to pull my hair out of my head ...

One of the scars by the belly button is bruised. Is that ok to happen?

Yes, bruising is normal, mine were brown and then yellowish as the healed, and now barely visible.

Smile now!
