Thanks, I feel bloated, I hope this feeling goes away, oh another thing I forgot to mention, when converting from lap band, to gastric sleeve, they also took my gallbladder out

Thank you guys, I have a question can I do protien shakes?

Yes you can

Two days home and my family came down with the flu. So I am downstairs by myself as I can not get sick. This sucks. I was doing so well in the hospital and now this.

Im also 3 days since sleeved, so far so good. Been up walking since being in the recovery room. No stomach pain or gas & im able to sleep on both of my sides.

Sipping Protein & Water.

We got this woohoo.

Good job!! I've been walking and sipping, just bought my first protein shake today, pretty tasty.

Yes you can

Thank you I just bought my shake.

Getting used to not eating at lunch and dinner time is hard. I know this procedure is just as much mental as physical but I got to tell you it is hard. I feel like I am forgetting to do something. Plus this liquid stage is not fun. I am still very hopeful for the future. My starting weight was 303 surgery was 287 and I am at 280 today so that 23 pounds in less than three weeks. I can t wait until this life style becomes more normal. It seems that my days prior to this surgery were figuring out what I was going to eat next. I have a lot of time on my hands..

Congrats, ang good luck to you guys. I go next Tuesday (8th). -I agree this sight covers eeeeeeverything LOL. First hand infirmation. - you cant get any better than that.........

I know what you mean joe. Sometimes I eat because I'm bored. Ive been thinking if it would be hard to watch the family eat and I cant. -take out at least twice a week. I think I can resist the food on my own but I had to tell them to stop offering me food. My struggle now at 8 days Pre-Op is giving up my nightly bowl of popcorn. Lol... that was a ritual fof me. But I know this is just 1 stage in the procedure and a few weeks out we will be eating our regular meals but making bettef choices on what those meals are....

Last night my sister and nieces came to visit and watch movies. They brought lasagna and garlic bread. I love garlic bread. It was hard to not grab a plate and slice of bread but I fought it off. last night I was 4 days post op.

Just stay strong, I try to avoid family functions right now. My family lijes to hang out and eat and drink every day if possible. Thats not my life so I have find ways to remove myself or not go

My house is family central. They always visiting. Im going to make a sign that says no outside food or drinks.
