My doctor said nothing carbonated after surgery because it could cause complications. My nut said it can cause you to not feel as full as you should. I did try one sip of soda and hated it I didn't like the taste or the carbonation. It also hurt my stomach. Before surgery I loved coke zero and would drink a six pack per day. Tried the soda last week and I was sleeved on 12/31/12

My doctor has told me that you need 60-80 grams of Protein per day if you don't that can cause hair loss, thinning hair. I find myself having to keep track so it doesn't. I have found this true. Hope that helps. Also I was sleeved on 12/31 and have lossed 67.2 pounds I stared at 335lb. My goal is 235 by summer so I can go to Disneyland with my kids, fingers crossed.

Before my surgery dinner consisted of drive thru or me making dinner. Now that I have had the surgery on December 31 suddenly its cookbooks. I go into the hospital and come out 2 days later and suddenly all food is cooked at home and all my favorites. I guess im frustrated because it smells good but I cant have any. I say can you warn me so I can go into another room. Just can't deal with the memories, weird but I do miss my comfort food. Does it ever get easier?

Me too my cousin makes bacon in the microwave at least once a day if not twice. That and popcorn someone in my house makes popcorn everyday. Its a little easier I am only 15 days post op but its still hard

I have a question I am 15 days out from surgery can I have cottage cheese. I am desperate only liquids for another week I don't know if I can do it

I am 5 days post op and still have a hard time of getting comfortable. I used to lie on my side, how soon can I again. Sleepless in California

Going out at lunch is the hardest because everyone is eating, I think about all of the fast-food choices out there. Will it get any easier?

The smell if bacon still gets me every time. Can't wait to get soft foods on the 22nd.

Are u sleeve? If so u are like me he did say dont drink if your not thirst but the most important thing was getting Protein 60-70g. He also has me skipping puree and continue on liquid because I can dring normaly. If i did puree i could gain because ibcan drink more I had surgery on the 31 of dec. The glue should come off 7-10 days if its edges look pink and it seems puffy go see you doctor. I did today he removed the glue over the infected incision. pus came out he added two sterile strips it felt much better hope this helps.

Had my surgery on the 31 December. Saw the doc today he said because I am sleave I need to continue liquids only until I see him on the 22. Dang 2 more weeks but I have lost 25 pounds since surgery.

Jesse have you had any weight loss surgery if not maybe removing extra skin will get et u to rhe wait b u need.

Does anyone know dr. Sauceda prices

I also need soft food idea plus your pureed ideas or recipe websites. Thks any ideas would be great.

I am 8 days post op I remember having no will power. I am afraid to try anything back because I know its down hill from there. Any idea if that still. Holds true after the sleeve. Worried in CA

I have to have the lactose free kind now.

I like muscle milk

My doctor said if u feel discomfort thats fine but if u feel pain I would stop and call your doctor, just to be on the safe side.

Only one of my incision sites hurt so I am just taking Tylenol. Having trouble with the protien intake I can get 4 tsps of the chocolate shake down but then have to stop. I have also taken the protien slams with a 6ml syringe. Lots of ice chips and tiny sips of water

I have heard that your weight can fluctuate alot and the best thing to do is take measurements. I try to weigh my self once a month or when I am at the doctors. I try to stay positive as long as I am losing inches its a success.

I also have trouble sleeping I am going to buy a recliner I have heard it helps. I sometimes take a Benadryl non addicting helps me sleep. Hope that helps.

You sound like you are doing well. You are lucky. When did u have your surgery? I tried a teaspoon of applesauce eventhough thats a no no for a year, that made my tummy very uncomfortable. I am trying to just eat the broth out of soup my boys will eat. Worried to go too ahead of doctors orders. But I am a big chicken. Maybe there is hope for me. Keep doing great.

I just read online that some vitamin shops have chewable protien supplements and or pills has anyone ever heard or tried these types of supplements?

I have tried at least 9 different types of protein supplements I am 4 days post op and am struggling to find some protein supplement I can tolerate. Before surgery I was drinking premier chocolate shake tasted like sugar free chocolate milk. Now it causes me to have dumping syndrome so now what. I just have to get enough protien in me until I can have pureed foods. Any advice as to a palatable protien supplement would be great.

4 days post op and I got the go ahead to cut my pain pill in half and swallow with water. I had a prescription from before my surgery, was worried I would have to turn it into a suppository. But thankfully no.... so excited had no problem with it so I am free of crushed pills. I am allergic to ibuprofen, vicoden, and codeine so my options are very limited. Hope everyone else's day is going as well as mine, if not hang in there every day holds new potential.
