100%Sleeved

I got my protonix yesterday and took one yesterday and one today, I'm proud to report no coughing since yesterday.

Hi Michelle You can go to http://www.weight-loss-center.net or http://www.ticketfactory.com and create your ticker. Once created copy the code and go to your profile page and click edit and go to signatures and paste the code. I hope this helps..

I almost forgot, please make sure you get something for gas.

Congratulations! You will need lots of liquids. I recommend campbell's chicken noodle soup and pour the juice off because the plain broth is disgusting. Gatorade G2 because it is low in calories, sugar and 0 fat. Jello, popcicles and italian ice (can be a discomfort if it is too cold so eat slowly) I hope this helps and I wish you the best. :whoo:

Congrats now your journey begins!

Wow this is tooooooo funny. I'm still on the liquid stages and my little girl is home from school and she begged me to cook her an egg and cheese omlet (my husband was taking care of these things but he went back to work yesterday) I could no longer take it so I put a piece in my mouth, chewed it and spit it out. No harm done. back to liquids lol :blush5:

Hello, I was sleeved 1 wk ago today and I'm still on liquids. I'm still a little dizzy but I've gotten use to it. I triied an optifast today because I could not take the broth any longer. It gave me more gas but I'm fine. I'm a realtor and I work from home. You can always chat with me and I'm 41.

You will be fine. Since my surgery a week ago, I've seen every doctor but mine. He sent others in his place everyday and also his arnp saw me daily. I only saw him once for 30 seconds lol.

BTW, how do I get my weightloss ticker to show up? It shows in my signature but not in my posts. I know this is off topic but I've been trying to figure this out.

Wonderful! It will help. Don't work too hard and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. It does not seem normal to be losing blood daily. I had my surgery 1 wk ago today. I'm not having any draining problems but they did want to transfuse me a couple of days later because I lost blood during surgery but I refused and got the iron infusion instead. Please let me know how this goes and I pray things get better for you. Stay encouraged and take it easy.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this blog. I've been lurking and made my 1st entry the other day because I was sleeved Tuesday Nov. 15th. My question is, how do you add the weight tickers to your profile? I think those are great!

I got it thanks a million!

Thanks Shae. How do I get it to show up when I post? I did a few test post but nothing showed. Do you copy the bbcode, html or ezcode?

I think I figured it out. I went to a website called www.weight-loss-center.net I created the ticker but now I don't know where to paste the code lol

This is a good post and answers a lot of questions I was having. I'm a week out today and every since I came home from the hospital Sat. I've been coughing. In the hospital they were giving me protonix. I will ask for some and see if this helps. Thanks again for the post and let us know if your coughing gets better..

Wow that sucks. I hope I don't have that problem because I spent 4 nights in the hospital.

I LOVE this tread! Hi all I was sleeved on 11/15/11 I will be 1 wk out tomorrow. The gas is gone. I was almost banded on 11/10/11 but God stepped in just in time. On my 9th day of pre-op I received a call from the doctor's office stating my insurance will not cover the hospital because it was not a center of excellence. I was scrambling at the last minute because I was previously told it was approved. Anyway after finding another surgeon and going to his seminar, I saw he did all 3 surgeries as my lapband doc only did lapbands and I had no other option. The new surgeon had options and when I saw the sleeve it was a no brainer. I called my insurance company and they approved me for the sleeve within 5 minutes(I was already approved for the lap band). So I realized that God's will is what's best for me. Had my lapband doctor's insurance verification rep not slipped up with the insurance, I would have been banded and not known about the sleeve. Glory Be To God Almighty for this change. Thank you again for starting this post. I will keep yall updated as I continue my journey.

I'm having the same problem. I was sleeved on Tuesday. I hope we can find relief.

Thank you. Do you know which one is not a prescription? I'm having gas and hunger pangs on an all liquid diet.
