No problems at all digesting the wrapper. I also had a harder time cutting it. And honestly I knocked off a lot of the so I wouldn't have so many carbs. Kept a tiny bit on and it went down great.

What is flexall and where can I get it? I was so worried that I messed up my sleeve somehow. So glad to know this is common.

I could only get down 2 pieces of a California roll but it sure was good.

I hope u dont find this question too personal but do u have any problems with skin??? I'm 3 wks post and really worried about this.

Have any of you post ops been intoxicated?? Not that I plan to do that or anything but I'm only 23 and enjoy being a little buzzed every now and then. Of course not until I get the okay from the dr for some wine. What's it like??? Do you get sick easier from alcohol?? Drunk faster?? Just curious.

How long did u guys wait to have alcohol? I really want a glass of wine.

I confess that this new attention I'm receiving from Men is making me question my marriage....

K so I am 2 wks post op and weighed in at 271 yesterday and 274 today!!!! Wats going on??

I really hope so! I was doing so good ad then I started my soft foods and now it's like I'm stuck.

I am having the same problem and was sleeved the same day!! Are you on soft foods? What kinda of things have you been eating at dinner? Maybe we aren't eating the right things? I don't know.

Started at 326 was 295 the day of surgery and am 270 this am

I write a blog and have blogged my experience thus far on my journey. If you are pre op this might be more interesting to you. Http://haveyouseemybiggirlpanties.blogspot.com/

Congrats!! And WELCOME!! I am 15 days post op and feeling great!! Welcome to the world of VST! And congrats on deciding to take charge of your life and becoming the best you can be!!

Did you feel anything?? It use to take like 11 7 and 7s for me to feel even a buzz!

My surgery was almost post poned for 3 mos and I was devestated. Then my surgeon called me that night and was like let's do it in two days!! I was so excited. You WILL have the surgery. Let the drs figure out what's going on. And get ready cuz it's one hell of a ride!! Stay in good spirits

I miss my miller lite

I am 2 wks out and my worst days were 3 and 4. It gets better I promise! I wondered if I had made the right decision. And yes we did!! Try to keep your head up. This is an emotional and physical battle and we just have to keep going.

I can only eat 2 oz of dense protein within an hour. Granted I am only 2 weeks out and am on soft foods. But is this ok? Lol it's like I get a couple bites to enjoy then I'm done

I'm back!! - I confess that I really miss ice cold coca cola - I confess that I love the way I feel now - I confess that I am afraid of vomitting therefore I am afraid of trying new foods.... - I confess that I crave salt and vinegar chips - I confess that I would REALLY love a glass of wine -I confess that I feel skinnier than I am right now - I confess that I often wonder if I'll ever be able to eat certain foods ever again.... Like cheese enchiladas - I confess that I am not perfect, but I am doing my best.

Pink pj pants are the morning of surgery. Blue pants are post 10 days. I am down 52 lbs altogether from pre op diet. Down 24 lbs since surgery Aug 2.

How do we know what symptoms to look for if a leak happens??
