Lmbo! I know right! I'm just so amazed at how little I eat and how my husband keeps saying "that's all?" In disbelief. It feels like you can only eat a spoonful before you're full. Yes... Anything other than sweets. Thanks! You'll be over here before you know it! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks ladies for the well wishes! I'm feeling much better now. My only problem is getting in all the proteins and liquids. My pouch feels super tiny and a shot glass leaves me full for about 20-30 minutes. So it's hard to do the every 15 mins drinking thing. I have my dietician post op appt tues, I'm hoping I can go to puréed foods. It's much easier to get my protein in that way using unflavored unjury. I can tolerate Greek yogurt and mashed potatoes with no problem. I hope everyone is doing well! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hi family. I just wanted to check on everyone. I've been very quiet. It's been rough for me starting out. A cold, then thrush, and my picky pouch has issues with the antibiotics. My poor hubby is so worried. I'm sad with a little buyers remorse but I expect that will change when I'm back to feel better. I dislike being sick. I hope all is well. Congrats to any new post op family we have. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hey Lapband, I'm doing good on my end. Some soreness still and a slight cold. But other than that in good. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I'm only 2 days post op and I've got this metallic taste in my mouth. Is this normal?

Hi post op family! I know I've been quiet but I'm slowly coming back. How is everyone doing? Me--trying to get over this slight cold I have. coughs and my incisions certainly don't get along. My taste is starting to come back. Now I just have a constant dry mouth no matter how much I drink. :yuck: I'm so over liquids right now. I just want puréed foods. I think I'll be in heaven when I can have applesauce, cream of wheat, and yogurt! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks girl! I have this metallic taste in my mouth.... Ever heard of that?

Hi Post op family! I'm hanging in here at 2 days post op. my pouch doesn't like the celebrate chewables.

Hi family. Sorry it took so long to check back in. Im doing okay. I have pain at my incision sites and my surgery was longer than expected because I had a sliding hernia on my esophagus. the anesthesia took a long time to leave my system. But the nurses said I was leaving tracks on the floor from walking so. I came home last night. It's a struggle to get in all these fluids. But I'm trying! My husband has been great taking care of me. I hope everyone had smooth surgeries and recoveries for yesterday and today.

Hi family. Just wanted to check in. I'm okay but lots of pain.

My surgery is on Wednesday. I'm so nervous that it cold be canceled. I've jumped though so many hoops. Can surgery be postponed for anemia? My pre op labs just came back and some of my numbers on my CBC W/O DIFF are right below or just above normal! I'm a bit disappointed and afraid that they'll cancel my surgery. Isn't this something my pcp should have noticed? any thoughts on this? I'm posted to help ease my mind at least. My hospital posts labs online so that you can see them and they aren't open right now. Can some one help with this one? The numbers in brackets are the reference ranges... Here are my numbers below: WHITE BLOOD COUNT 5.5 10^3/uL [4.8-10.8] RED BLOOD COUNT *5.63 10^6/uL [4.20-5.40] HEMOGLOBIN 14.3 g/DL [12.0-16.0] HEMATOCRIT 43.7 % [37.0-47.0] MEAN CELL VOLUME *77.6 fl [80.0-94.0] MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN *25.4 pg [27.0-31.0] MEAN CORPUSCULAR HGB CONC 32.7 g/dl [31.0-35.0] RED CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH 12.6 % [11.5-14.5] PLATELET COUNT 280 10^3/uL [150-400] Thanks in advance for responding.

I know what you meant! Lol...
