Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

Good Evening, my name is Ernest and I am new to the forum. My surgery date was on 12/20/2017.

Welcome to our group!! How is the healing?

Me, too. I burp pretty much with any drink I have.

Hi all,
Thought I'd say hi. Sleeved on 12/18, so I'm on phase 2. I'm scared to introduce too much too quickly. So far, just tried yogurt, applesauce, and SF pudding. Finally got some unflavored protein powder, too! Anyone try it with mashed potatoes?
Also, sorry if this is TMI, but I've had nothing but loose stools for the last week or so (after being constipated at first, go figure!) Other than that, I've felt good!

Where do you get your unflavored protein powder?

I got mine at GNC called Genepro

I haven't, but I made some sweet potatoes with chicken bone broth, and blended them with spices, and it was like thicker baby food consistency. It was delicious! The sweet potatoes have lots of good vitamins and bone both has 9 grams of protein per cup, so it worked well. I'm hoping to experiment with some other things like that this week. I steamed some butternut squash that I haven't used yet [emoji4].

I am one week post-op today! Yay, I made an entire week!! Anyways I haven’t been driving, but today I drove about 10 minutes away from home and got nauseous. I was wondering if anybody else feels this way when they drive? I go back to work tomorrow and I have about a 45 minute commute each way and I’m worried about getting sick ?. Congrats to any other 12/26 sleevers!! We made an entire week!! I’ll admit at times I didn’t think I would, but we did!!

Only a week off work? My surgeon said minimum 6 weeks off. And my coworker was off 7 for the en y

I too am back to work with a similar commute actually 2 hours in the evening. I did alright this morning however, I made some adjustments for my abdomen. (A makeshift roll so that the seat belt wouldn't rub me) also I took care to take one of the meds for nausea before I left. I am doing my best to get up and walk around a bit like every 45 mins if I am able to. My stomach is at a 6 - 7 painwise. I have my water, soup, and an applesauce squeeze pack, protein for breakfast. Wishing you all a great day!

Well I’m a teacher so standing up will definitely not be a problem lol. I have my nausea meds, I’m just worried about them making me tired and yes I plan to have all my meals ready to go, so I don’t mess anything up.

My doctor said 4 weeks off of work, but cleared me to go back after 7 days because I work at a sit down job in an office.
