Fun size

God Bless You, Tallysfunny. I am sure you didn't mean to imply that Jessielynn had made a bad choice with her refried beans. She cetainly is doing it the right way just as you suggested she should. She and I have the same surgeon and NUT. After 10 days they add soft foods, one being fat free refried beans. Their stated goal is to help us maintain optimal nutritional health/balance. The NUT particularly likes adding refried beans because of it's high protein and fat free refried beans are, well, fat free. Can't beat that! My day ten will be 11/22 and I'll be hitting the cottage cheese! Yum!! Each surgeon has his own post op diet plan. Your doctor's plan is different than ours and each person on here will have a variation of the basic "healing your sleeve" plan. Because your doc doesn't allow a food that another does, doesn't make either plan wrong. Just different.

I was sleeved on the 12 along with many of you. My surgery went really well. No problems at all. I was starting to be concerned by the no BM situation but it has been resolved. Luckily (or not) I got a flu on Friday with a fever, chill and frequent, and I do mean frequent bathroom trips. Today I am feeling much better and certainly My insides couldn't be cleaner!

Tatylish, Thanks for the video. It was the best! I immediately felt so much calmer after I watched it. I took the time to watch several other videos he made and I felt like I got a lot of helpful information. You really made a difference in how I feel tonight. God bless you.

We were sleeved the same day. This is exactly how I feel.

Day 3 post op. I put on real pants today and I can't even begin to zip them up! I am so bloated. I need my last week sleever friends to tell me this is normal.

Day 3 post op. Trying to wear real pants! I am so bloated I can't zip them at all. I still weigh 7 pounds more than surgery. Will my last week sleever friends tell me thi is normal?

I learn so much from you guys, Thanks for going first. This is day two post op. Bending over to put on socks hurts. Guessing this is normal.

Hello all! I was sleeved yesterday. I am home and feeling fine. It was almost easy. Well, at least compared to what I thought it would be. The hardest part was trying to get some sleep in the hospital. I am tender and sore and a bit tired. But I feel strong and confident. I am happy to be in my quiet home. Thanks to all for your suppot. And, hey there sleevers to be, QUIT WORRYING!! Unless you use that emotion to clean. It was great walking into a clean, quiet house. Seriously, don't worry. Goodnight all.

Tomorrow Morning! Nervous as all get out. arranged for the dog sitter, cleaned the house, filled the bird feeder, ate everything in sight! I made my husband and daughter promise not to visit! My husband is going to drop me off, then come back and wait in the waiting room to talk to the surgeon. I think if I am going to be miserable, I'd rather be miserable by myself or maybe with my two little dogs, but not with anyone else. Why can't my dogs come with me? I am so happy for the support of all of you. Thank you big time to Jessielynn who shares my surgeon and to ChrisRN and Boston George. All were sleeved on 11/5 and I've been thrilled to watch their progress. Thanks, guys.

ok. Surgery is Monday. Handholders get ready!!! I am nervous. I've been closely watching Chris RN and JessieLynn who were sleeved on 11/5. Happy that they are doing ok. Just talked to my nurse who is short like me. She is so supportive. My BMI is 46 and I wear a size 16w. Being the crybaby that I am that doesn't seem fair! Oh well, I guess that will be history soon.

What the heck, Jesse? You just got sleeved this morning and you're posting????? Whoo Hooo!

Our 11/12 family is growing. God bless us all.

November 12 sister, hello! There are 4 of us, I think.

George, You will be fine. Your first surgery! A surgery virgin!!! It will be a new experience. You'll love those heated blankets in recovery. You will appreciate how important a good nurse can be. And you will post on here by Wednesday that you are doing ok!

Boston George and Jessielynn, I am so excited for you. Please keep me posted on how you do. I am one week behind you. You will bein my prayers for a smooth, easy surgery.

My sleeve sister!

Jessielynn, Did you see this? Doesn't it look yummy?

. I pretend I'm five feet. Actually 4'!!., Well over 200 pounds. An ideal weight? No one has said but I'd be thrilled with 120.

You are just adorable!

I'm normal! or rather my ct is. All is well.

I love reading everyone's posts. You guys are great! Friday, my dr. office called and said my chesy xray showed shadows on my lungs. By Friday night I was coughing and tired. Leaving for a CT in a few minutes. Feeling so tired,

Lots of people have this with BMI's in 50's and higher, She was wrong on multiple levels. Get a new doc, Some people shouldn't practice medicine.

I'm sure you are heartbroken and worried. Please talk to a friend or pastor. Go ahead and cry until you are finished. The pick yourself up and take care of you. We all do our best with our kids ad when they make poor choices we all feel responsible. We are not. Yes, you are worried about him, yes you are hurting, bur don't hurt yourself. I bet he would feel so awful if he knew his mistake caused you to regain. Be strong. I will pray for you and for your son

Newkezia, Thank you for the info. My surgeryis 11/12. I don't wat any delays.
