  1. Ok so I am 3 days post opposite and I'm having a hard time swallowing liquid. It is way better than day 2 they gave me steroids to open up the swelling I guess my question is...about how long before u can drink water or juice without it getting stuck..when i say stuck iy like hitx my tummy and sits and then slowly gors in it doesnt come back up anymore. And is this pretty normal?
  2. Holy Hanna sorry about the typos I'm here everyone! I am on my phone and didn't check it...clearly!!! Thanks for the help.
  3. Try carnation breakfast. U can mix it with skim milk and make it the taste and consistancy you like. When u mix with skim milk it gives about 16 grams of protien and doesn't have to taste thick and nasty. Hang in tjere on the liquid diet. Mine was 10 days too and it is hard. Try French onion. Soup the broth is very flavorful and make some jello jiigglers! Makes it seem like you have something to chew on. I am in the hospital now had surgery on Friday. So far so good.
  4. Hi I just wanted goblet u know that my bariatric nurse did the conversion from the band to the sleeve and she loves it. She had issues with the band and had to have it removed. She regained a lot of her weight and she decided to do the sleeve. I talked to her a lot because these were the two.options I was looking into. She looks amazing.g. so I know it can be done successfully! Good luck.to.u!

    Struggling

    Hey I am a few days away from surgery, so I'm writing to you to remind you of where you came from. Maybe make a list of the reasons you went through the hoops and struggles of having the surgery in the first place. It isn't an easy or cheep process. It sounds like it's been a while since you had 'fat people problems' like keeping up with people, fitting on airplane seats, or fitting on the roller coaster rides. Those are stil real for me so maybe you can go back to where you started and remember the reason you did it in the first place. Re-motivate....and the fact that you are still working out every day 1.5 years later shows you are committed!
  6. I am on day two of the 10 day liquid diet. I got the carnation protein powder, they have the right amount of protien per shake when you mix them with skim milk and they are not thick and nasty. the other kind of protien shakes have too much protien in them to drink 6 of them a day. =) Also buy french onion soup and eat the broth from that, it has the most flavor when you are ready for broth. =) I would love a piece of pizza today. ha!
