    Looking for Texas Sleevers???

    Hello fellow Texans, I just got sleeved June 16,2009. Today I'm walking the air out, whew....
  4. I am not sure if the problem I have had throat/mucus/sinus discomfort and soreness is related to the hiatal hernia possibly re-occurring. It's just speculation and guess work on my part. I am going to have an upper endoscopy early July for a check to see how the inside of my stomach and esophagus appears. I am also going to get a second opinion from another ENT w/regard to a diagnosis of LPR or Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. Something's going on with my throat and the gastroenterologist doesn't agree with the ENT's diagnosis since I've been on PPI's for many months now. I'll post a blog to keep people here informed. Thanks for your comment and concern and best wishes to you in your WL journey.

    not sweet protein shakes

    I liked the chicken broth from Unjury, I understand our taste buds are changing so I still think it is best to buy samples before investing ....

    Nature's Best Isopure Protein Drinks

    It has been 4 days post op and I have yet to hit my 60 grams of protein. I have been sipping on Isopure every chance I get. I can't say I love the stuff but it's okay, and it is what my doctor recommends.
  7. Wow, you are looking great! I read that you had a hiatal hernia with the vertical sleeve surgery, have you had any problems since then?

    question please..

    So how are you doing now? This is my 4th day and I had a suprise hiatal hernia also, I do not think I had fever but when I take a drink I can feel that it is sore going into my stomach? Was it hard for you to get all of your protein and vitiamins in?
  9. It has been 4 days since my surgery, my tummy is sore, I've been walking some everyday. The Doc told my family that I had a large stomach and he had fix my hiatal hernia, which to me was a suprise that I had one. It's been real hard to make myself drink fluids, just not hungry or thirsty, and it has been a real challange to get all of my vitamins in everyday. Each day is getting better. Today my family and I are going to a movie, I really think it will help me to get out of the house and get my mind on something else.
  10. Thanks Kathy I really appreciate the support!

  11. Good luck!! We'll be thinking about you today. Kathy

  12. Tommorrow is my day! June 16th please pray for me?
  13. Well tommorrow morning I will have my surgery, I can't say, I am excited about the surgery, but knowing that I have made a big step towards accomplishing a healthier lifestyle and will be receiving the tool that will really help me, that makes me excited. I have been on a liquid diet and for the last two days Clear liquids. I have already learned that the more Water I drink the better I feel, the better my body is functioning (no constipation) Have you heard of a fat person being dehydarated? I guess that was me. I feel that I am beginning a journey towards beating my bad food habits. I am determined to follow the doctor's. nutritionistist, and physical education instructor's instructions. I have been taking bariatric multivitiams, Extra B vitiamins, Iron, C, D-3, and Calcium. I been using a medication organizer to seperate the Vitamins where I take 2 at a time. This week I have biked, swim, and walked. (lost about 7 pounds) I've cleaned my house today and look forward to coming home after the hospital, healing and one step at a time becoming the healthy person that I was meant to be.
