Good morning.

The sleeved side so far has went very well, although I can't wait to stop Protein Shakes.

My only issues are slight pain from incisions, a little dizzy, and forgetting to sip slowly. I have tons of belching/farting, loud intestinal noises, some disgusting foamies, and barium swallow diarrhea. I am not hungry, and must work hard to get Protein and fluid goals - not there yet. Looking forward to full liquids next week and so on.

The surgery doesn't seem real at times, not complaining about that lol.

Hi Joann - thanks for asking!!

Not bad other than some Constipation today. I don't meet Protein goals yet but nearly make liquid goals. Lost 8lbs since surgery on Oct 24. I did not nap yesterday YAY but woke up at 4am today with a foot cramp!!!

How are you?

Ugh shakes are so sweet, I cannot tolerate the caramel premier any more. I prefer to do ready-made Isopure and dilute it with half a glass of crystal light lemonade.

Only thing is all the whey isolate Protein is constipating to me... I can tolerate pureed tuna and just today canned chicken breast w a spoon of mayo. So progress is coming.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
