Leaving Belongings When In Surgery?
boots321 replied to made2beme's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I never worried about my stuff! My g/f went with me and took my purse. Our suitcases were tagged and put in the hallway until we went to the hotel/recovery house. I kept my Blackberry with me and left it in the bag with my clothes. Its a good thing because I wanted it as soon as I came out of surgery to text the world and tell them I survived! -

I can eat 3 maybe 4 ounces at 5 weeks out....yes, I'm hungry every 2 hours.

How Did I Get To This Point?

UPDATE: I'm doing great! Tomorrow is my 5 week anniversary and I am down 25+ pounds. Working on the road at the moment, living in a hotel room, and eatig out all the time. I can order 1 meal and make it last for 3 nights! I usualy go for grilled shrimp or steak so I get plenty of Protein, and I keep my protein powder and bars with me at all times! I can eat pretty much anything I want, but only a few bites, and I'm full! Loving my new sleeve and plan on ROCKIN IT!!!!! -

I'm 5 weeks post op and can eat nuts as long as I chew them really well. Haven't tried corn yet. I really haven't had a problem with anything I eat yet! Sometimes I do eat too fast though....old habits die hard I guess.

5 WEEKS OUT AND I STARVE EVERY 2 HOURS!!! Trying to up/double my Prilosac to see if it helps any but no difference yet. I eat meat every 2 hours so it's not like I am filling my small stomach with something that isn' "substantial".

Unjury.com has fantastic chicken broth! Their other proteins or ok....nothing to brag about. I just ordered some same bars / proten / nectar from MYBARIATRICPANTRY.COM Will know in a few days if I like them. I've been getting the BODY FORTRESSWHEY ISOLATE from Walmart but I can barley choke it down now in my morning coffee.....and it's the best I've found.

OH YEAH! THATS MY KINDA REWARD LIST!!! YOU GO GIRL!

The recovery house was full when I was there so we ended up at the hotel wothout a choice. Hotel was great! Very relaxing and the front desk keeps an endless supply of the frozen icies! I am planning to go back as soon as I get my surgery loan paid off and have a little nip here and a tuck or two there! Mexico baby....its the only way to go!

Protein bars are my new best friend! You should be able to order a lot of soups, and should be able to eat softer meats by then like chicken. Just order as normal, tell your work associates that you ate a late breakfast or that you areant too hungry and will take the leftovers back to your room for later. Works for me.... I also went to GNC and found single serving packets of protein that were IDEAL for traveling. I'll warn you now that they were NASTY!!! I think Ungery offers a sampler pack and maybe chicke. I would check into it for sure! Dont forget to pack your vitamins!

hahaha....thats too funny but a great NSV moment! Thanks for sharing!

HAHAHA....I did my expenses this week too! WOW....what a difference! Instead of trying to find the best place in town to eat I'm stearing clear and eating 1 taco, or 1 hamburger minus the bun!!!

You should be able to travel with no problem, however, you have to remember that you have a weight lifting restriction! I had to change computer cases and also make sure my suitcase was XTRA light during travel! You can easily take your protein shake supplies and protein bars with you.

3 Weeks Post-Op - Foamies/bubble In Chest? Anytime I Eat Or Drink
boots321 replied to blondeej's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like you are ingesting too much too quickly! I have the same problem! It is extremely hard to make an ounce or two of protein last almost 30 minutes! I tend to wolf mine down and then I feel miserable! FYI....I can't burp since my surgery for some reason! -
