Hi Everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend thus far. I'm so grateful and thankful for the support, concerns, suggestions, etc. you guys offer! It really helps a lot to know you are not alone on this journey! Since going to the doctor things have been oh sooo much better. Decided to do away with the Protein shakes for now because they are just awful and I can't blend/mix them right even with fruit (lol-poor me)! I didn't realize eggs were so heavy in your stomach. My doctor approved apple juice just watered down and it's been the BEST thing since sliced bread. Today I had my absolute favorite thing in the world and it was a crab leg (well the crab cluster part anyway) with smart balance light butter spread melted to moisten the crab and oh my gosh....can you say GOOD! I've got to figure out how to make a Protein shake (protein shake mixing for dummies 101)!..Hehehe. Going to re-join the gym hopefully tomorrow and start working out on Monday (thinking swimming for now). Funny how I don't know you guys but I feel I know you guys! Again, thanks for the SUPPORT and I look forward to developing new friendships! Be safe and Be Blessed! Best Regards, Eyeluvme4me P.S. On a side note, how do I get me a ticker to show my weight loss??? Thanks in advance

:Cry: Hi, I had my sleeve done on 5/20/11 and I'm having major regrets! Didn't know the gas would be so bad and trust me I WALK, WALK, WALK, WALK! I'm so miserable! Water taste nasty and I even tried crystal light and it's nasty too. I was doing good with the sugar free popsicles now I'm having problems keeping those down as well now. The Protein shakes are awful! I know I'm not getting enough protein/fluids and sometimes I get so weak I feel as if I'm going to faint! I'm scared, and depressed, and thinking I've made the wrong decision. I didn't know it was going to be this HARD! I can't keep ANYTHING down: (water, popsicles, broth, gatorade, eggs, yogurt, Jello, etc). What should I do. I've been vomiting for three days now! Calling my doctor first thing Monday morning. Any suggestions????? Seeking any HELP!!!

Hi Sarsar and Caliblonde, Update: Went to the doctor today and he determined that my sleeve does not like cold temperatures so suggested I do liquids at room temperature. He also prescribed me a different med for the nausea and also something for heartburn. He says it's just going to take time and wants me to try the pureed/soft diet again! Hopefully, these suttle changes will make a major difference!!! And yes the ice chips help me get Fluid in.....
