Well truth be told. Ive tried it those times by myself. You know what i mean. Privately. Because I'm new out of post op i haven't tried anything yet with my wife. So i was eager to check out my new stamina and what not and i noticed i was done in a couple of minutes. Got me really worried. Tried it like 3-4 times i think. Wtf smh weight loss is great but this sucks bad!!!!

yes i drink plenty of water. i think it's just me getting back into the swing of things with work. ugh thanks though

i am almost 4 weeks out. Can i take/swallow tylenol tablets? my head is pounding. when i crush them they are so bitter. will swallowing the tablet hurt/effect my sleeve/stomach? right now i am in so much pain

ok cool. thank you Deecc26

All I can say is that I hope and pray I don't have a leak or that I did any damage to my new sleeve. how could i be so dumb. some people on here have reassured me and also scared me that i could die. it's so scary. my own fault for not being prepared better. instead of stocking up again, i got so worried and prepared for this blizzard. long story short. i ate normal food. small portions but still. i hope i dont get sick or die. Luckily i have no pains or cramps. no aches and no fevers. but how do i know for certain if i caused a leak in my staple line. ?? my doctors office isnt even open until monday. i am so stupid.

ok i just re-read everything. it says soft food. chicken/tuna salad....fish baked without breadcrumbs, eggs, refried beans, chili etc. soft cheese. nothing about carbs or crackers though.

honestly im not sure. i think softs but she said i could puree foods like meat and gravy. i am stage 3 still.

i am about 3 weeks out and i always feel tired and weak. all i want to do is sleep

i like turkey chili with a little cheese. fish isn't on my approved list. however i do eat tuna all the time. could i mash up salmon you think?? as for salsa my dietician said no spicy food so maybe i can try the mild one? i was told no carbs yet...are crackers ok you think at 3 weeks out ??

thanks yes i still feel ok and i dont have any pain and no fever

my sleeve surgery was done on 01/29/13 so 16 days ago. i started this journey at 370. lost 25lbs before surgery. so when i walked into surgery i was 345. when i came home from the hospital i was 355 probably from all the iv fluids. today i weight 328. but i've been 328 for like the past 2-3 days. i'm not going down anymore. is this normal? did i plateau ?? should i be exercising more?? i've been trying to walk 30 minutes daily in the gym. way too cold outside. i did start my stage 3 diet on tuesday any tips/advice is much appreciated. thanks

hi all, if you remember i posted about a week ago regarding me and eating regular food just 10 short days post-op. i am now 17 days post op. some people scared me to death. scared me straight actually. i did stop eating. they scared me about leaks. anyways long story short. i only ate regular food because of the recent blizzard i wasn't planning on making it a habit. so i spoke to the head dietician at the hospital and she said it was fine since i stopped and since i felt no pain at all in the stomach. my question today is, since i stopped regular food and since i don't have a fever and i don't have any pain, do you think i'm ok ?? do i still need to worry about leak(s)? anyone out there ever have a leak before? what are the signs and/or symptoms. i know of fever, stomach and arm pain, should i be in the look out for anything else ?? should i tell my surgeon?? the surgical coordinator and the head dietician said i didn't have to bother the surgical doctor. since then i've started stage 3 foods. soft cheeses, Soups, etc. still Water and shakes as well. again thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks to those who lend advice.

i will try my best not to worry but its really hard. the head dietician told me today that i have nothing to worry about because i feel no pain. and i have no fever. so hopefully i will be ok God willing. thanks for the support

thanks flab! was that a true story ?? i met with the head dietician today. i told her i ate bread with cheese and bread with PBJ when i was only 10 days post op. she said that was fine. as long as i feel ok i'm good she said. thanks for the encouragement i needed it. no pain at all and i check my temp daily for a fever and knock on wood on fever and no pain yet

wow what a mess. my post has caused an uproar. and yes by the way for those who care to know, yes i am still alive. i didn't DIE yet !!! imagine?? thank God. i've only been drinking. haven't touch food since the original post. few days ago now. no pains and no fevers as of yet thank God. i see my dietician on tuesday at 10 so i will inform her of my food errors. hopefully i am ok and have zero leaks, issues, or problems. as for this post/site. i don't think i will be sharing anymore. too many negative people and comments. a lot of mean people too. thankfully there was a nice few. i don't like when people scare me. i know they mean well but it could have been different. thanks for all the support.

thanks @cmaloney

seriously. some people on here trying to scare the hell out of me and even sending me private messages lol. but you were awesome and kept it real.

@laura-ven...i love you. thank you. youve been great. youre awesome thank you and again, i love you and thank you for your support

@laura-ven...i love you. thank you. youve been great. youre awesome thank you and again, i love you and thank you for your support

i did but ran out . i was 6 weeks liquid pre op and simply drank all protein drinks

thanks guys i appreciate it but now i am ruined mentally. i can't stop thinking about this. what if i ruined my new sleeve and caused a staple line leak ??? i searched symptoms. luckily i dont have any pains or cramps or fevers. i learned my lesson i just hope im ok and didnt cause any damage

i will thank you. i am so stupid. i'd write "lol" but this is no laughing matter. i had NO IDEA eating at this time could cause a leak. No one told me. and nothing was stated in what i read.

thanks lissa

thanks laura. like i said it was only a couple of times. all small portions. i have no pains at all. no blood in stool or urine. i've already stopped.

clearly i wasnt thinking
