    day 4

    Day 3 was the worst day for me! Lucky I was not heading home till day 4. So I kept the fluids coming but avoided any Protein so that there was no "accidents" on my way home. When I got home I found that my bowels needed to adjust to the protein. Took me about 3 weeks and then I have been "normal" as normal can be. Hope you are feeling better soon.
  6. Congratulations! I also love before and after photos. You are looking good.
  7. If you are sick I am pretty sure they will not operate. Especially if you are running a fever. Lets hope you get better soon!

    Crying Every Day

    I was weepy and tired for the first little while. I still do get weepy at times but nothing like it was first out.I think it has to do with the increase in Estrogen that was stored in our fat cells and the body needs time to figure out how to work with the increase. I do get incredibly tired still at times but I lay down for 20 mins and then I am good to go. Hope you start to feel more like yourself soon.
  9. Where are you planning on getting your surgery? It might be best to ask the coordinator for that facility the dates they are booking for. Maybe you might want to pencil in those two dates if they are available with them. I sent in my deposit after I booked with Dr. Aceves. I can not remember how much time I had to pay the deposit after I booked the surgery. Might also ask the coordinator at the facility when they want the $500 deposit.

    One more step down...

    Heres hoping you get your approval soon!
  12. I hope you start to feel better soon. Maybe check what Shine1075 said about Dexilant with your doc and see if he will prescibe the medicine for you. I know that in the early stages my nexium worked for so many hours and then bam I would wake up in the early morning (couple of hours before I should get up) and it would bug me. As time went on the acid subsided and I have been able to get through till the next day. Hope you find a solution soon.

    Cheapest Airfare Website?

    I just checked with the different airlines to see what they had going to San Diego. There is Expedia.com, Travelocity.com, Cheaptickets.com, hotwire.com, orbitz.com. Check them all out and see who can get you the best price.
  16. Awesome NSV!!!! I too used to love kayaking and can not wait to get back into the water without sinking the darn thing. I love your photos looks like a fun time!
  17. I am so close to my first goal I can almost taste it!

  18. Welcome from another Canuck

  19. I was not surprised at anything with my Mexico experience. All the posts on here gave me the information about what I was going to experience and what to do. I was also informed very well from the doctors side so nothing I would need to have known before this surgery. I may have thought to ask for a video or a picture of the stomach. Just to see how tiny it really is. Other than that I can look at my barium swallow xray any time to get an idea. Nothing that I regret not asking about.

    What Does it Feel Like?

    so far I have not had any issues with food or water. I only add a new food once every couple of days to give my body a chance to let me know if it does not want it. My tummy makes some noises but I mostly hear the noises early in the morning before I put food in. Rarely is it after I eat. But it does do it sometimes. It is interesting how everyone has a similar yet different experience with the sleeve.

    Thank you for sharing about this program being a dud. Too bad you had to take a loss. I was hoping this was legit.

    Chicken....?

    As soon as I was on regular food I had chicken. I did not have any problems with it. I chewed it well and took my time eating it. Maybe check with your doc or nut for your eating plan.
  25. You will feel more of the "full" when you are on more dense food. The mushy stage I never felt full, but I stuck to the recommended portion sizes as I know that our nerves have been cut on our tummy and therefore will not have these "full" feelings for awhile. I am almost 2 months out and I definitly know when to stop when I eat more dense food. Like ground beef. The feeling is hard to explain I just know it means no more food please. Stick to the recommended sizes as you do not harm your healing staple line.
