sound like a great start. about gas from cold ... need to try to drink everything warm might be it would help me as well.

O, My... Sorry to hear that

I always has the problem with seat belt on the plain. so this is GREAT NSV!!!!!

Newgrandma, tomorrow is the day. Good luck!!! you will join us very soon

12 lbs since surgery sound great to me. I am not good at the weight lose I only loose 3.6lbs. I am walking everyday for an hour in the park. and I hoped to loose more but not yet. Velena, sorry to hear about your pain when you swallow. I have it only when I did the stupid things and put in my mouth the spoon with my kids buckwheat meal yesterday to lick it up. I did it without thinking and paid or that. I feel how it goes to me stomach and pain was terrible. never ever again..... about bouillon, when I cook it I put some celery their and some baby carrot ( not cutting) and after it done I took it off so the taste is much better. as I understand we cannot put potato and something what became puree in the soup. but vegetables are fine. on preop liquid I cook just vegetable broth. and also I use vegeta seasoning and it gave broth great taste. For me the burping is killing me. I need to wake up twice a night like a baby and walk around until I would burp everything out. today will try to do my jello ( sugar free) and hope will enjoy it with warm tea. will share the experience later

I don't have the hunger feeling as well ( sleeved at 7) but I notice that today others' food bother me l WANT IT with my eyes. no idea why. I am not hungry and so far I am good at warm stuff going down. the chicken broth is my favorite. another one what is going ok is chamomile tea. I tried it today and it was fine. Today was the first day when I think I was able to keep down 64 oz. 50g protein from shake and I hope another 10 from chicken broth. ( anyway I will drink more shake at night) I had 5 oz of tea and I think 10oz of chicken broth.

I just notice my typo. 1/4 of the cup not 1.4

Sorry no answer, was sleeved at 7 as well and I have the same problem. Burping a lot. My doctor said it would be that bad a week or two. But I notice that if I walk every 2 hours it is became better. but in 2 hours it like start over again.

I didn't want even to open my eyes after they wake me up. the chest pain was so bad that I didn't want to breath and nurse always ask me to breath. that chest pain become better after I start walking for 30-40 min every 3 hours in the hospital. I still have it but it's minor. and I am day 4post op. I didn't want to stand up and leave.

Good luck to you and speedy recovery.

VEGETA- use it instead of salt. I always use it when I cook my broth. and taste great.

Agree!!! AS I understand you have 2 leak tests. one test is done during the procedure. they check it from inside that there is no leak. but the next day I had the x-ray test I had to swallow TERRIBLE drink. just might be 1.4 of cups but it was discussing... and they was watching you on monitor how it goes in your stomach and that nothing goes behind it.

Good luck!!!

Gas-x strips doesn't help me how often you take then? Does it help you with burping? I was sleeved at 7th as well and has huge problem with burping a lot

I am day 3 post op and trying to walk a lot and fighting with a lot of burping. I have no idea why I have so many gas inside me about liquid intake I cannot do 64 oz so far I only was able to drink around 15oz and it's already 2pm.

when I came for x-ray the lady asked me if I have a drainage tube and I said no i don't and she reply to me, then you are in good shape so I assume I have less pain then others.

I am packing to the hospital need to be their at 6:30 am what else to take. I already packed lips balm, mouth spray, gas-x strips. what else? beside phone/computer/and all "toys" things I just understand that I am nervous....

I everyone i had surgery today right ow I the hospital will have leak test tomorrow Gas pain terrible. Other then thAt everything is normal On painkiller and ot ready to give them up How are other september 7 sleeves are doing?

I have a question. Do I need to have my husband with me the day of the surgery? Look like my surgery would be around 3:30pm till 5:45pm ( not sure just approximate time) How long after that I would spend in the recovery room? Do I need my husband to be their? because he need to take care of 3 kids and if he need to be their we need to find someone to sit with kids. because right now we are thinking that he would just wait the call from the doctor how the surgery went and he would see me next morning. But I am scared a bit to be alone in the recovery room. Any Advice? Am I selfish?

already packed sweatpants and tshirts. what about bra. can I wear the regular one after surgery? I mean the push up one with metal things under cups?

My surgeon told me that I am allowed to fly in 2 weeks but because I have job with travel I decided to take 4 weeks off the flying...

I am using my scale. it store all information online since you step on them first time and it draw the graph online. so I am checking all my progress their. But in addition I am using the ticker factory to double the data their.( just in case)

I like big company. GIRLS, what are you packing for hospital stay. I am completely lost... I packed Gas-x strips, Biotene mouth spray, and lip balm what else.....?

Hi, I understand your excitement I need to be in the hospital tomorrow at 6:30am. no idea what time is my surgery but it is in the morning. and I am a bit scared

surgery is tomorrow. need to be at the hospital at 6:30am
