I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

Yes but I can have soups now. I am sick of that sweet tart flavoring that is in all the calorie free water they sell. On another note I am coming back home off the trail. It beat the hell out of me and I'm a bag of mush today.

Oh man, that's harsh. I hear you about the 'sweet tart' flavors; it all seems like kiddie food. Stay tough and win!

And yeah, I'm starting to fall in love with my measuring cups. They are my portal into food.

Found out I have my PET scan tomorrow afternoon. Not sure how long it will take before I get the official results but glad it is finally scheduled!

no..don't remember anything crazy..I'm stalled too..I'm having trouble getting in protein..just the last few days I can't tolerate anything milk based...protein shakes, smoothies, almond milk, yogurt..what are y'all doing for protein. I had about 3oz of chili with protein powder for supper..any ideas

I'm in pureed stage

Hi all, sounds like most everyone is okay. This has been way harder than I thought. The first week post op intense and hard to swallow anything. The second week have been feeling real weak, weak muscles hardly any strength, trying to walk or bike a couple of miles a day but it is a real struggle. Food shakes even water hard to take in. The last four days I have had intense stomach hunger pains, but when I try to shake or eat something I get really nauseated and have to take the phenergan Also super bad diarrhea. I added potassium,multivitamins and prilosec Saw the surgeon today thinks everything will be okay, just need a little more time and I can add soft foods. I really need to get back to work. Do you think this is all normal. I have lost #16 pounds. My skin is really dry and itchy,did anyone experience this?

How do I add my picture from my phone app?

@@abs0253 I use something called pocket protein. It comes in two different flavors, strawberry and berry. You just add it to your water. They are 15 or 20 grams per pouch. Try looking them up, they may even send you a sample or a coupon?

@@MarciaN -So glad to hear your scan is scheduled. Hope for great results and you get moving on the losing train!
