    Flying After Surgery...

    I am not sure about the flying, but you will need to prepare ahead of time for your meals. Depending on your dr's program, you may still be on liquids at that time or just beginning to be on solids. I would talk with my dr, if I were you so that you can be ready to go and enjoy that wedding!

    Caffiene

    I believe that it contributes to holding onto water weight or being a diuretic, but I am not positive, BUT, I am allowed 2 cups of coffee per day...so I am allowed caffeine although I don't drink it.

    Bored With My Soft Food Phase

    Hey there! I know that it is difficult right now and right about now was when I asked myself for the 2nd time "What on earth have I done to myself?" I know that it is frustrating and almost even nauseating, but I promise that this phase will be over soon. No real ideas about other things to eat, maybe just change up the way that you prepare it. It wont be long!!! I promise! thinking of you!

    6 Weeks Out And Tolerating Less?

    I am 6 weeks out as well and I have noticed a decrease in my intake but I have not had any vomiting. Hope you feel better soon.

    Oh My!

    I was sitting at my desk at the house doing some paperwork after I had eaten my lunch. I started feeling horrible with nausea. I couldnt figure out what was going on until I realized that my house helper was frying chicken and the smell was making me nauseated! Shoot, no temptation there!!!!! BLAH!

    Oh My!

    Yes I am blessed to have a helper. We live in Peru, South America and we are missionaries so we are always so busy so her cooking for me (and cleaning my toilet) has really helped so much. The problem comes now that Peruvian food is laden with rice and potatoes so I have to teach her to cook other things. She has gotten down meatballs and meatloaf pretty well now so I will start giving her new recipes as the day goes on.

    Going Through Closet!

    Congrats on your success! I have lived overseas for 7 years and in that 7 years I have fluctuated from 160 to 240. SOOOOO I have a whole myriad of sizes left over. Hoping they wont be too out of style when I get to the smaller ones.

    Sooo Nervous

    You will do fine! I remember thinking, I am going in feeling good but coming out feeling cruddy! haha It is the truth but really worth it. Just be patient with yourself and keep reminding yourself that the bumps you will encounter are only temporary and that you can do it. Good luck tomorrow!

    B12 Shots

    I have taken B12 shots for years because I have pernicious anemia. I just started on the sub lingual tablets this past week because my husband is traveling so much, he isn't here to give me shots. With the shots I can definitely tell when I need them. I get foggy headed and restless legs. We will see how I do with the sublingual. My surgeon said it shouldn't be a big difference.
  19. Next week I will be 7 weeks and will be allowed to begin exercise!
  20. Wow, well I would want to do it sooner than later because you now see that you CAN loose weight but it is so difficult to keep it off. Once you loose this sleeve weight, hopefully it will be gone forever!!!! I know you will make the right decision for you! I am thankful that you have a husband that is encouraging you, my husband has been a big encouragement through it all and I am so fortunate. Good luck! (We all get nervous too when we near the surgery date and with it being so close, I am sure that is part of your concern. You will do fine!!!! Just lean on us here at the board to help you through the difficult times! Hugs!)

    Burping. 2 Days Post Op

    Well there are lots of new noises that have come out of my body since I was sleeved 6 weeks ago too. My son (he is a teenager) thinks it is hilarious that my stomach makes gurgling noises, I burp, I hiccup and I also "toot". So, although the burping hasnt gotten any better for me, it doesnt hurt anymore. AND it is a signal for me NOW that I better not take another bite of food or I will regret it. Hey, we may be noisy but we will be skinnier!!!! I'll take it! At least we have an excuse for our bad manners, haha Hope you feel better soon!
