Congratulations! Sorry, I'm no help with the pain either; I never had any pain. The first week was the hardest for me; so hang tough. You will do great!

21 pounds pre-op diet and 12 pounds 3 weeks out.

I was sleeved on 01-14-13 and have not had any problems whatsoever until this past Wednesday night. I have eaten everything exactly like they told me to eat. I had my soup for dinner and about 1 1/2 hours later I had the terrible dry heaves. Last night no problem until 1:30 a.m. (7 hours after dinner) and I threw up nothing but yellow liquid. Anybody having these problems? Somebody said it could be gallbladder. Any ideas? Thanks

You are not going to die. You will be just fine. I was sleeved in Mexico on the 14th of Jan. and flew home on Thursday and had no problems and I don't like to fly period. You will feel soooo much better once you get your drain out. You will be fine. Don't worry.

Congratulations! How long has it been since you were sleeved?

I am new to this forum as well. I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana on 1-14-12. I have lost 30 pounds; 21 of that pre-op. Dr. Ortiz has you on nothing but liquids for 21 days. I am so hungry, bored with the few soups out there that you can "drink". I'm even tired of my protein drinks. Any ideas to get through this post-op nightmare is greatly appreciated. God Bless.

Good luck! You will do great!

Katie75009; I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz 2 1/2 weeks ago and have had no problems, no pain medication needed. I hope you have Patti for your nurse; she's a jewel. LOVED Dr. Martinez as well. Good luck.

That is a good list. I'm in my 3rd week of liquids and can hardly wait until next week when I can have soft foods. Just craving cottage cheese. Laura-ven, thanks for sharing.

Good luck tomorrow. You will be fine. I didn't even need pain medication; it is so easy breezy. Congratulations on your decision.

Congratulations! I hope I can say 51 pounds in another 6 weeks, which will be my 2 mo. anniversary. I'm starving to death.

Congratulations! You should be so very proud. Every time I get around 200 pounds I start sabotaging myself. I sure hope I don't do that this time. I'm in my 3rd week out and would LOVE some cottage cheese. Keep up the good work.

Is your stomach growling with hunger or do you just "think" you are hungry?
