i wouldnt do the sashimi but any other broiled fish should be good. maybe a piece or 2 of some veggie... thats probably all ypu can fir...LOL.. i am 6 weeks post op also ,, i had some salmon with veg sunday and again today. Go have a good time and enjoy!!!!

WOW that sucks but i think your better off with someone else.I think they will probably let you make an appt with dr. immediately tell them you already went to a seminar. i dont think you have to do that again.

Thats great ... welcome to the sleeve side!!!!!!!!! hope you a have a speedy recovery ,sounds like your on your way.

I had crazy glue looking stuff on my incisions... if i had a drain they took it out before i woke up from the surgery...(thank god)

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!O BOY I CANT WAIT FOR THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep reading about staples and drains.. i didnt have any of these .. did u have the sleeve ?? if so where are the staples and drains?

I only walk and i get tired doing that .i am 6 weeks post op today . I have an elliptical I will start that soon . I just keep looking at it for now...LOL... hope you start feeling better soon.

i am 6 weeks post op. i would like to know how long does it take you to eat dinner .. ?? I had a 3oz piece of pork with one sliver(a bite) of a lemon potatoe .. i wanted to go slow and see if i could finish so i could get the protein in. but its been 2 hours and i cant finish .. I did most the pork . I just wanted to kno should i just fill myself in a half hour time and forget about trying to get it in ???

ok thanks .. thats what i wil do.. can you tell me how you get enough protein and water in a day ... can you give me an example of your day and with the times and what u eat??

soo sorry ..why were you denied???

yes directly to pureed or soft( i ate a scrambled egg the day after surgery) its so funny how each doctor is so different with there rules. I am glad he had those rules ,, it seems so many people suffer with this clear liquid then pure liquid stages.. i dont understand but i suppose they all have there reasons. I thought for awhile that maybe you lose more that way since your starving...LOL... I am 6 weeks post op and down 30 lbs ,,maybe it would be more if i didnt eat right away,,, but its ok if i am a slow loser....

Hang in there.. when do you go on soft foods or purees??? that will help you . I was able to eat real food the day after my surgery i didnt have this liquid diet stuff post op... thank god ,, but i did have to do it pre -op..hated it.. It is normal to say WHAT THE #$%^ DID I DO..it is a normal thought and reaction and i think most people will tell you that. I had crazy anxiety and panic attacks after the surgery but it has gotten better.. I am 6 weeks post op ,,, so hang in there I promise you it will be better...

I am 6 weeks post op tomorow. i still have trouble with the water. i still use some protein powder to get 20g in per day ,,,today i ate an egg white ham and cheese omelette and a piece of pork loin i breaded and baked (maybe 3 oz) with a tiny bite of one lemon potatoe. I am full but gonna try to get the rest of the pork in thru the nite.

WOW ...YOU GO BOY!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS AWESOME........

GOOD LUCK TODAY!!!!!!!! AND WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE SLEEVE SIDE ... LET US KNOW HOW ALL GOES!!!!!

I love this site ,it has helped me sooo much. I enjoy everyone inputs and comments. I have a question for you guys. i know I have read that everyone is so private about there surgery. When told you look great and how did you do it .. Many respond diet and exercise ( which is true)..I dont know why I have no problem letting people know I had this surgery ,, I am not embarrased by it and I just speak my mind. I think thats a little strange of me. I would have thought I would have kept it a secret more. But i make it a point to state that by no means is it the easy way out and that you must work hard to figure out your new tummy and get all the nutrients and water in. I am proud of what i have done and although it is still a battle for me I dont regret it ( maybe somedays...lol) when i told a customer of mine how hard it was to get the water in ,,he said he wouldnt have that problem because he drinks so much water... but when I told him you cant chug a glass at one time ,,he just looked at me...I said my tummy is so small I have to sip,sip ,sip and that takes a bit of time ... and he just smiled and said...wow... Any how ,I just needed to get this out.. Good luck to all my sleevers and thanks for all your posts ,which i enjoy daily!!!!!!!!!

MrsG.. You are right about it easier to tell strangers than people you know... i do feel that as well ,,,maybe cause i couldnt give a $%^^& what they think !!!! but the people you love and know can be judgemental and that can hurt ... but you know what ,,the heck with them if they not supportive !!!! We will be healthy and fabulous and life will be SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

Iam so sorry..U must be crushed .. it will happen soon. God will bless you and you will have an easy recovery because of you patients and understanding.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM . THEY TOOK BLOOD FORM MY HAND 2X ,,AND IV WAS IN MY HAND ..( IN THE HOSPITAL) WASNT SO BAD ... THE ONLY PLACE THEY TAKE IT RIGHT IS IN MY DR. OFFICE....( I LOVE MY DADDY ,,GOD REST HIS SOUL,, BUT I GOT THIS TRAIT FROM HIM .... SMALL WIGGLEE VEINS.. LOL)..GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!! SLAMMIN.....

are you kidding me!!!!!!!!! i am 5 weeks post op and thats what i try to get in ,,,and i have a hard time with that... youre doing awesome...

i make an egg and cheddar or swiss omelette.. i love my eggs!!!!

wow .you sound like you got it all under control... i am jealous...but hopefully will get 1/2 way near there soon. I aim for 6 glasses of water a day but sometimes only get 4-5. I also strive for 45 g of protein but do get more . i still do powder protien for 20grams. just to make sure I get the protein in. other than that doing ok I guess.. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!

I say go for it... its normal ...cause after its gonna be a long time till or if you ever see and eat that stuff again!!!
