Yes I do drink lots of water actually 6-8 bottles a day or more. I'm up most of the night emptying my bladder. which gets on my nerve cause I know for a fact after getting sleeved sleep has been bad for me. I actually have to take something just to rest.I just wish I knew y everything taste bad except for the jerky ????

Hey guys as u can c I'm up in the A.M. again.I just took another small dose of zzzquil so I can get some rest, I don't know how to stop the madness I'm cranky n snapping heads off because I'm restless this must stop. I'm going to try something's n I'll let u guys know. Well later I'm going to find something boring on tv that might put me to sleep.

It's anxiety guys my nurse confirmed it for me yesterday, I'm 6wks. out n I'm going through the same thing. I go to bed at 10 n up by 2 or 3 everyday. IM TIRED ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I called my nurse about the vomiting n foaming n the waking in the middle of night. She said that I need to slow down n go back to stage 2 very soft foods. She wants me to eat really slow which I should know. I need drink the 4oz every hour just like the very beginning I thought I had this but I guess u really have to b careful n really take it slow. An the sleeping she said is anxiety if any of u guys r waking up in the night.

N then that jumping nervous starts then the foaming. I'm calling the nurse today I want to know is this normal. Can I stick to my diet juices n ocassionally eat something new if I feel the need. My husband wants to take me to dinner n I'm so nervous I don't want to get sick. We r having a date night n being sick is not my idea of romance. DO ANY OF U GUYS HAVE ANSWERS WHAT'S THE LONGEST U CAN GO WITHOUT SOLIDS N IS LIQUIDS OK N FOR HOW LONG???????????? PLEASE HELP I NEED ANSWERS VST FAMILY

Hi Jeff n yes it's been 6 wks. I'm in the same place as u. Who would have thought we would b chilling like we r right now. On jan 8th I was 240 lbs. now I'm 207 n feeling GREAT. Now we have to keep doing this good work. I actually found some pants that I couldn't fit the wrong size n refused to get a bigger pair was ASHAMED to go back to the store. I put those pants on today OK. How wonderful I feel even with my cold it made me forget about being sick. U keep doing u don't let NO ONE keep u from your goals n u handled that party like a champ. Holla back

Thank u n u r so right. But I'm going one better I'm calling my dr. she knows my body well n she can call in medication so I don't have to go out in that cold. It's FREZZZZING in NYC !!

I'm feeling so congested then my nose gets runny oh let's not forget coughing. I'm taking dayquil but if that doesn't do it I'm going to emergency room. Did any of have a cold n what did u use to get rid of it? I think my grandkid gave me this crap this is why I like plastic gloves n masks when I'm dealing with children. I love them but they r little GERM NESTS lol. PLEASE HELP I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO TO HOSPITAL

Thank u Jeff the jerky really is good. It doesn't cost much either target has a very good price 4.39 for beef n 3.50 for turkey that's the small bags. It's so cold here in NYC u can't go out n get that walk in but I'm going to turn on some music n get to stepping. I really work up a sweat. My dogs even get in on that they love it. I will hit u guys back later!!

Hi guys I'm at 210 now since surgery pre op 240 so I'm 30lbs lighter but I seem to be at a stall. I've been eating jerky to get my proteins in and it works great. No constipation stays down I'm drinking plenty of water. I'm just having a hard time getting exercise in but the weight is coming off gradually.Tomorrow I'm going to go back to liquids n c if that breaks the stall if u have any advice please tell me what I can do?

I went to target n got some turkey jerky made by Jack Links it's great n I'm sticking with it . I dont know about any ostrich I just think some animals should stay wild n not on my plate. So good luck with that. Anyway the price is good $4.39 for beef n $3.50 for turkey small bags. Plenty of protein n great flavor haven't hiccuped once!! YEAH FOR ME

Jack Links is the best jerky out there to me. Oh my I almost ate the whole bag in 1 day but my husband stepped in an ate some. But I have never felt better. I can truly say I got all my protein in n a little extra. Tomorrow I'm on the search for turkey jerky . If I find it will sign in an let u guys know.

Thank God someone posted this I've been struggling with getting my protein in n I force myself to eat stuff that I used to love but can't stand now. I sent my son in law to get me some JERKY n I'm so HAPPY u guys just don't know now I feel human again. I'm feeling good chewing on this n I miss this taste it's like I'm at a BARBECUE

Hi I was sleeved on 1/8/13 my pre op weight was 240 n now I'm 210. I'm still having issues with eating everything taste different. I drink ready made protein shakes. They r the only things keeping me going . And plenty of water I don't know y but I can only eat something if it's mixed with something like mustard. Everything sweet makes me run for cover. Lol I'm ok with it though. I've had ground chicken burger it stayed down, tuna mixed with lots of relish n mustard. Oh n turkey sandwhich with provolone cheese n tomato. That's it nothing else appeals to me. And I only ate that cause my husband was scared that I'm starving myself. I really don't have an appetite. Oh yeah almost forgot I found these kale chips at GNC that r ok I sprinkle a little XTRA cayenne pepper n eat a few u can't go wrong with those . I'm from NYC is anyone from here ???????

WE CAN'T EAT CANDY BUT WE CAN ALL TAKE ROMANTIC WALKS, SPOON, KISS N FOR SOME MAKE LOVE. SO BE BLESSED N BE LOVED.
