Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

It's when it hits my sleeve. But it doesn't happen that often. It's like a little sting, then gone. Its happened maybe 3 times or so. Weird ! I see my doctor in January or February .

Sleevie wonder, hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I LOVE YOU SLEEVERS !!!!!!!!

@@chellede I think we may be experiencing twings and things for awhile. We will be healing for some time. Can you call the office and just mention it? Better safe then sorry. Besides sleevie wonder my other favorite that I heard was frankentummy!

HAHA Frankentummy ! Love it ! I'll call Monday if I feel it again. I have been eating different things. I'm sure it's just a twinge.

Unfortunately I don't. This has been my support group for the most part. Your doctor and mines work at the same location. I had my surgery preformed at the Slidell location and I my post op appointments are in Metarire. Have you been to any support groups yet?

No, I've heard this website is better than a support group! But if you do start one, let me know & I'll come too! Maybe we will run into each other one day at our appointments! i was just there yesterday!

Yeah that will be so cool!! My next appointment is on the 17th of this month. Please let me know if you have any questions I'm sure we are on the same nutritional plan.

Awww, mine is Dec. 3rd! Maybe when I can eat actual food we can meet up! I'm just starting cream Soups, pudding, milk, etc. I do have a question about MFP actually! Under nutrition what percentage do you have for carbs & fat? I know what to put for Protein but I'm stumped on the other 2!

Honestly I only changed my calories and not the others. I may need to look at that and to be very honest because I'm eating sooo little right now I haven't really given those much thought.

Cream soups: Panera Bread in Metarire on Vets has some good cream soups I tried the autumn squash and the creamy tomato. (Very yummy) I had to add Water to lighten the texture but the flavor was still tasty. They lasted me about two days each.

Does anyone ever get a little sting when you eat. It last just a split second and it doesn't happen all the time.

I get that feeling from time to time. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I didn't chew enough or if the texture of the food is too rough or dry.

Does anyone know when we can eat popcorn?

We get to eat popcorn? I thought that was done forever.

OMG, did someone say popcorn? You mean like at the movies, lol? Yeah, I think its off our list :-)

My kingdom for a bowl of buttered popcorn :-)

I'm pretty sure after our sleeves are fully healed popcorn is fine as long as we chew well. Anything in moderation is fine I'm sure.

It's amazing to stop at Costco on my way home from work and be stuffed from eating a few samples LOL

Week I'm gonna assume no popcorn. I read an article that it's one of those foods you should stay away from after surgery
