I too have a hard time not cleaning my plate. Years of programing not to waste I guess. I'm working on it!!

Thanks for laugh!

You look awesome!

You look amazing! Congrats!

Congrats to both of you! Hope you do great!

Hi I'm from Denham Springs and had surgery 8/13/12 by Dr. Andrew Hargroder at Woman's Hospital. All is well. Getting stronger every day!!

Had surgery day before you and had your exact reaction yesterday. It's bad!! Did some research on ketosis about it on google and it seems common. Read it's good because it means your burning fat, but it sure doesn't taste good. Read it smells bad too!! One of the little "suprises" on my journey . There are a few ideas on line about using suger free mints and carbfree, or shew fresh mint or parsley and some more . Give it a search and see what may work best for you. Unfortunatly I did not find anything to cure it just treat it. Sorry P.S. so far I got some sugarfree mints and have brushed my teeth quite a few times today. neither works for long.

Welcome Lisa, looking forward to following you on your journey!!

Sorry I promise your not!! I go from great, to scared in a minute!! I feel like I'm on roller coaster ride. Somtimes I just want to get off. When your feeling alone just put up a post and someone on here will give you hand up.

Think your doing great!! If you follow the program you will lose your weight just like your supposed to. We all have to go at our own bodies pace. Your doing GREAT!! It's only natural to have some self doubt. You have just started on what may be the hardest jorney of your life. Everyone of us has our fears, I know I surly have mine. You can do this!! Looking forward to following along with you on our journey.

Was sleeved 8/13/12. Seems to get a little better each day. Was having hard time getting everything down at 4 days myself. My program said to do best you could and do not get dehydrated most important!! Just got all my protein and fluids in for 1st time yesterday :-) and have not gotten dehydrated.

Thanks for post. Have been afraid to try greek yogurt because thought it might give me problems with fruit in it. My surgery was 8/13. When was yours?

A massage sounds like a great idea!! Maybe we it should be on list of things to do after surgery. 1. Schedule yourself a massage. :-). I know my shoulders hurt from gas!!

Started mine day after surgery. Ten days early!! Had stomach cramps along with the gas pain, can I say miserable!! Thought I was only one, but to embarassed to ask. Gotta love lifes little suprises!!!

I am taking my blood pressure pills and antacid pills per my doctors orders. Have had no problems. Every doctor is different, as well as every program. Follow your doctors orders as long as you aren't having problems.

Post op day 5. Had hard time with water too. Gets better each day! Just try one step at a time, try to get your fluids best you can.

Thank you so much for sharing!! I too am having cravings!! Only 5 days out!! Has me scared,thought I was only one.

Had surgery same day as you. Thanks for sharing!! Glad you're doing so well!!

Sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it.

If you're already sleeved does anyone feel hungry?

How is everyone? For me doing better every day! Does anyone have any hunger? Stated to get hungry yesterday. It's kind of scaring me. It may just be head hunger. Have been drinking water and protein like I'm supposed to. I'm sure it will work out' I just want to do everything right.

Day 4 post op. Every day gets a little better. Started full liquids today!!! Never thought I'd be looking forward to protein shake but I am. Tasted wonderful! Still having hard time with water. It seems to upset my stomach. Not sure I'm getting all my fluids in but I'll keep working at it one day at a time. Went for 20 min walk today, felt pretty good. Praying everyone is doing well!!
