Thank you. I just don't want to blow this. I'm getting in the habit of grazing, I have to get back to the basics & remember why I had the surgery.

I have anxiety. Sometimes I'll wake up at night & think I blew it. I had one chance for this to work & I stretched it out. Am I crazy or does everyone go through this?

I fell & injured my shoulder & tail bone. My PCP wanted to prescribe me a anti-inflatory. I told her I could not have NSAIDS. I don't understand why? Can I not have them for the rest of my life or just shortly after surgery. What do you do when you have a injury?

I was sleeved on 1/22/13, my starting weight was 241 and I am now 197. I logged my food daily & usually stay under 800. This past week, I've been getting around 950-1,000 calories per day. I was originally told 600-800 calories & 50-60 g of protein. Do we move up in calories over time or are we always supposed to stay between 600-800.

Okay, so I should probably get the diet back in check?!? Lol

It was a nice change, I've been missing pops too

I went to a small town festival & they had homemade Root Beer...no carbonation or Caffiene!!!! I know it's full of sugar, but it was a nice treat & sure went down smooth. Might just buy them out, lol.

I'm 7 weeks post op & have been given the go ahead on chicken, fish, seafood....just about anything. Can I tolerate sushi roll at this point? Like crab roll? I'm nervous about the rice.

Sleeved Jan 22, I lost 33.5 lbs so far. I thought I was doing good until I read some of these posts ????

I was given the go ahead at 7 weeks post op to eat nuts. I had a few pistachios & almonds. Immediately after eating them. I threw up for the first time since surgery ????. Has anyone else had this experience? I've tolerated everything well, now I'm nervous to try new things.

Thanks, it's leighmac77@aol.com

Thanks for the info. I'm a little frustrated. My doctor gave me diet guidelines through week 8, but don't have much info. He encouraged me to use the Nutritionist through his hospital. I talked to her for over an hour & she was very helpful. The next time I talked to the nurse at my surgeons office she said everything the NUT said was incorrect & I needed to follow the doctors orders. Very frustrating!!!

I take a 500 mg calcium citrate chewable 2 times per day. My stomach feels gassy & nauseated after I take it. Is this normal?

I take Celebrate Cherry Tart.

I'm confused about what vitamins can be taken with what. Can I take my flintstone vitamin & then drink a protein shake with skim milk? Will the calcium & the milk effect the iron in the vitamin?

My instructions were 1 week of liquids, 1 week cream soups, 4 weeks of soft foods.

I was sleeved on Jan 22, I'm 4 weeks post op & on soft foods. My hubby is taking me out for Valentines Day. Any suggestions on restaurants & what I could order?

We have alot of restaurants. Chili's, Roadhouse, Carino's, Applebee's, Longhorn, Olive Garden, El Chico's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Ruby Tuesday

I was told to stay between 600-800 calories per day. I usually end up around 500, I'm only 4 weeks post op....I'm sure I won't have trouble hitting the mark when I get on solids. Do I have to reach my calorie goal daily? Is it hurting me by being under? I reach my protein & water goal daily.

My sleeve was done on Jan 22nd & around 2 weeks post op I go a black tongue. I have not used pepto or anything that would stain my tongue. Has anyone else experienced this?

I did call my doctor, but they were puzzled. They called me in Diflucan. I was just curious if it happened to anyone else.

I love love love sweet tea. I was going to make some decaf tea this weekend as a Super Bowl treat, I'm only 11 days post op. what sweetner is the best to make it taste like real sweet tea?

Try getting Isopure to get in your liquids. They sell it at GNC & it tastes like Gatoraide. The Alpine Punch & the Blue are the best. They are 20 oz bottles with 40 g of protein, no carbs or sugars.

I had mine done in Aug 2009. I worked all day went to the appt at 3:30. They numbed my cervix which felt like the pinching of a Pap smear. I was awake & watched the whole thing. Once it was over, they gave me a pain pill and I did start cramping. It feels like contractions because your uterus is contracting back to its original size (they fill it with water). I went home & went to sleep & worked a full day the next day. It was so simple, I couldn't believe it. I also had the ablation 2 years later, which didn't work. The pain from the ablation was 10 times worse than the Essure.

I was sleeved on 1-22-13 & I have been struggling to get in all of the water & protein my doc wants me to have. I've been drinking Isopure, from GNC. One 20 oz bottle has 40 g of protein & can double as your water. It tastes sort of like Gatoraide. I drink 1 & 1/2 throughout the day.
