From what I understand it just isn't absorbed well by the stomache. Especially now since ours is so small.

Good luck and keep in touch ASAP....

My heating pad was my best friend after surgery for the gas pains....

Doing great 1 week out. Doing my clear liquids still. Taking Unjury chewable vitamins, sublingual B-12, and protein powder in chicken broth...Sutures come out the 10th day, incisions look good...

I would get someone to sit with kids until you're in your room for a little while if possible. It is nice to have someone there just in case...And for support...

Divorcel, VSG. & pregnancy... Oh My....Bless your heart...I mean I hope you'll be alright... Keep in touch with us please...

My surgeon said i could clean that and put a piece of surgical (sterile) tape over it to prevent rubbing and change it a few times a day if draining. If not draining daily...A non stick gauze changed often if it is really draining...

Bread is a BAD weakness for me, i plan to NOT do bread simply for that fact. I'm not even going to try it...

there is a nasal b-12 called Ener-B you can get it at GNC it is a little gel drop that goes in your nose and is absorbed that way. I prefer the sublingual, it's also cheaper... (the sublingual is cheaper)..You couldn''t swallow enough B-12 pills todo any good for you....

That's awesome. you're jammin' girl!

Awesome, you did awesome not over-eating. The sleeve really works if you work it....

Yum...

are you anxious or have a history of anxiety? You should see the dr...Stress/anxiety can cause h/a, shakiness.

I'll just ask for a container or take one with (to reunions) ....I've thought about this as well....

You're funny as hell... who cares what they think, getting your whole body into it plus walking is awesome exercise!!! And the mental benefit is through the roof!

I agree with you totally. I don't WANT that "full" feeling to be like it was before. I want to stop before i get to that point... I am 6 days out and i am doing probably about 1/3 cup at a time and plan to continue it. seem s like if i do 1/2 cup its too much right now. It depends on how quickly i take in the liquid....

I'm the 28th, that's not real close but in a few weeks we'll all be in about the same stage of our sleevehood!

I feel you should weigh what you want to weigh. If its 200lbs you're better off than if you weighed 300lbs, If you look and feel good at a goal weight that is above the area that THEY call obese SO WHAT... as long as you're happy there, go for it!

I feel like i'm ready to go to work, and my drain is already out. It came out day 3. I can get by without any physical straining activity at my job. I had it okay'd with the DON. I can't afford to take off more than 2 weeks. I had to take off to go have the surgery done in mexico....But i feel good. I've been going for walks, doing light housework, no lifting of course for 4-6 weeks...

it is not unusual to have a "Let-down" period and or depression after surgery of any kind. But going to a psychiatrist is always a good decision if you feel like you need it. We All could use a psychiatrist truth be known... I'm 5 days out and i'm having a jet-lagged, let-down period that started yesterday...I think it will lift when i'm feeling better. I went for a few short walks yesterday and today and it helped alot. Trying to gain support from family/friends/and these forums...Hang in there it will lift soon hopefully...

I had a breakdown point on the pre-op as well. Had dorito's and pepperjack cheese one night, naked at 300am. LOL!

I'm 5 days post op was your surgery the 27th? I'm doing well too i think. Sounds like you're doing great. Let's keep in touch! I'm only having some incisional pain and a weird feeling in my stomach. Doing clear liquids still...

I'm five days post-op so i'm craving creamy stuff even. Still doing clear liquids! But that lobster tail sounds great. I get what you're saying totally....
