Sleeved 1/17/12- Last weigh-in was 1/30/12 and I lost 24lbs... going to weight in again on 2/10/12

I have to admit I did lie... I told people I had my gallbladder removed. As far as the eating- I just say that greasy and sweet foods dont agree with me right now so I have been eating much healthier. I dont really eat around anyone and when people offer me things I just say no thank you, I dont want my stomach to hurt. I have been posting things on facebook about got to the gym and how Im determined to lose weight. I just feel its none of anyones business and I dont really want to hear peoples opinions. I do have to admit I have a friend that had gastric about a year ago and I feel guilty about keeping this from her but she has a big mouth!

I was also sleeved on the 17th... Week 1- liquid Week 2- full liquids Week 3-6- Mushy foods Week 7- Soft foods Im eating things like Tuna, chicken salad, egg salad, scrambled eggs

I think we should create a clothing swap on here because it will get expensive to keep buying clothes at different size stages...

I cant wait to get rid of my clothes... I already I have plan with my girlfriends! They are all going to come over and have a free shopping day! Then SHOPPING, SHOPPING, and more SHOPPING! I wont miss my clothes because I will still see them... LOL Then I can say hey I remember that shirt... hehehe

Thanks guys,,, I think the worst one is B1-capsules (PURE NASTY)... There is a lot of powder in those little suckers... I have to take a med (forgot the name) for 6 months to prevent gallstones because I still have my gallbladder and want to swallow those too... I have calcium chews but I have to eat six a day to get the amount I need, I would much rather SWALLOW two pills LOL. Im gonna try the smallest med I have... Hopefully it goes down well. (Fingers crossed)

Sleeved 1-17-12... Im on the mushy stage and I got 2oz of tuna in today but it did take me 30 mins to eat it and i was full... but everything stayed down and felt fine!

Is anyone else ITCHY AS HELL??? My whole body itches so bad! I have changed soap, got the best lotion (thinking my skin is drier now)... The only thing different from before surgery is I'm taking Previcid dissolving tabs... I have an appt on the 10th and hopefully the dr can tell me why???

You look great... I actually want to get down to that size... I know my goal is 150lbs but I really dont want to go lower then a size 10.

I have vanilla shakes from Costco and I was ok'ed to eat flavored greek yogurt so maybe I will try to blend them together... Wish me luck!!!

Where do you get EAS?

I was sleeved on 1/17/12 and I cant seem to get my protein shakes down... I can drink liquids fine and I have have tried everything under the sun... I started with a choc shake from muscle max, then isopure from GNC (gross), then the vanilla shakes from Costco (was ok at first)... How the heck can can I get protein in??? I was thinking about trying an unflovered powder and geek yogurt with some fruit and make a smoothie...

I did have my period during my WLS... It was toward the end of my cycle and it did suck! The one thing that was concerning/different was... Sorry if its too graphic... The coloring changed to very dark almost black/brownish coloring. I'm not sure about any pain because of course I was already experiencing it. I'm not looking forward to my next one...

I slept in my bed for the first time last night and it felt like a circus moved in... There was a lot of grumbling and strange movements. I didnt really sleep well last night and felt very weird today... its been hard getting the Protein shakes down today for the first time. Sleeved 1/17/12

I take Prevacid every morning but the dr prescribed me a disolvable tablet. All of my meds are either liquid, chewable, or disolvable. He told me to take the prevacid everyday for 6 months.

Im still on the full liquids stage and the thought of drinking a protein shake is making me squirm! I need something different! I have no proplem drinking crystal light and powerade zero but protein shakes are not appealing anymore... I have my 2 week appt on Monday and will be able to start mushy foods then but this weekend is gonna such if I dont find another solution fast! I have a message in with the Nutritionist to call me back.

I went to my 1 week post-op appt today and my Surgeon asked me if I had a gym membership yet... I said Yes why? He told me he wants me to start going! Im scared to go this early but he didnt seem concerned just told me to start off small... I dont know if I want to yet... IM SCARED! When did you start with "small" exercises????

I think Im going to start slow on the elliptical next week... I have been walking these last few days and ever did grocery shopping today... My poor kids still have to eat even know their mommy cant! LOL

Happy Happy birthday to you too...

I have surgery on Tuesday and Im starting to feel some congestion in my chest and a slight cough... Im popping vits like a champ right now... I dont want my surgery to be delayed!!! AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Will a cold delay my surgery???????

The cold didn't delay me but I sure did feel all the coughs post-op! Tomorrow will be one week post-op and im planning on going back to work... I hope everything goes well. Had my one week check up today and the Doc says Im doing great, he wants me to increase to 3-4 protein shakes a day. So far so good!!!

My 30th Birthday is tomorrow and it will be my 1 week post-op... Im gonna actually try to go back to work too even if half day... I just hope no one bought me a cake! Not everyone knows why I have been out!

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 17th and about three day post-op i noticed my whole abdominal area has broke out in a rash... im thinking im having a reaction to the iodine but im now thinking it the binder that wraps around my abdomen... I called the dr and he said to use topical and liquid anti-itch medicine and remove the binder... I want to cry! Is this normal? How long will it last?

Surgery date was January 17th!!!

I stopped yesterday... I was released from the hospital on Wednesday and took it every four hours as directed... When i woke up yesterday I only had a "pulled muscle" discomfort. I then decided to not take it unless i needed it... I actually got up and moved around better without the meds... I needed to take it early this am because I couldn't sleep because of being so darn itchy! I think the pain is different depending on your incisions... I had laparoscopic surgery... I have 5 small incisions one of which has a drain coming out of it... they are also high on my abdomen right below my bra line...
