  1. I know you can change it. I'm wondering to how much. Is 800 too much?
  2. How many calories is our goal now sleevers? The app gives us 1200 to start what can I change it to? 800?
  3. Hi all, I'm on week 1 post-op and have one more week of liquid diet to go. I dink water of course, vitamin water, chicken broth for "dinner" and the 1or 2 Costco 30gm of protein drink little by little all day. I'm getting bored. What other creative drinks are you all having?
  4. I'm sending you a request. Mine is Lemmy76
  5. I started at 232 and yesterday I was 218. I'm a week post-op. My Dr. suggested I take a monthly picture so today I'm taking my first one. :/
  6. I had a few of the same symptoms yesterday. I went to see my Dr. for my week check up and it turns out the pain is not in the stomach. It's the spleen, because some of the blood vessels where cut its repairing it's self. Also if they had to repair a hernia on your esophagos that's what hurts when you drink. I had a nurse put my IV on the same spot they had put the IV for my endoscopy. It hurt like hell so I made her move it and I'm so happy I did. Also your upper arm hurts because of some kind of muscle pain. My Dr. said to apply heat to it and stretch it all the time. It's actually feeling a lot better. Good luck
  7. I had all the intentions of posting right after my surgery and during the first few day but I was out. I was sleeved Friday August 10th in the hospital I was on pain meds all the time! Didn't even turn on my iPhone or iPad at all. Came home Satrday afternoon and here it was difficult to take liquid pain meds. They made me throw up even though I was taking the nausea medication so I went to plan B. Used my pill crusher to take Tylenol... That plan only lasted a few doses because honestly the powder was gross. Sunday night I forced my selve to take the liquid medication once more an that helped. Yesterday I only took it at bed time. My stomach spasms when I take any amount of liquid and it continues for a while after so it was hard to sleep with out meds. Tomorrow is my one week follow up. Wish me luck!
  8. Thank you for your advise. I will try all those.
  9. Was sleeved Friday and I'm afraid to drink too much or not enough. When I do drink I feel pressure down my throat and past my esophagos and in o my stomach.
  10. I was sleeved Friday and I still have discomfort and pain when I drink and breath.
