I feel like I have no restriction just with liquids. I can eat pudding soup (1/2c) yogurt yogurt pops.. I'm kinda worried that it doesn't hurt -
CONGRATS !! You look great!

Thanks for letting me know that maybe I'm getting too much Protein and not enough activity. I mix I scoop of unjury chocolate and 11/2 c of Water. I also add PB2 1 ltablespoon . I mix in a cup that has a steel ball in it to mix it well. I also ate one of those cups of instant ramen. I also ate sugar free pudding. I had my surgery April 18 and weight day of surgery 186.. Today 179. It seems like everything goes right through me(diarrhea ). I feel full but not to the point of throwing up. Today I hate 1000 calories which is a lot. I think I'm bored sitting at home. Hope I'm not in trouble or doing the wrong thing. I am open advise and suggestions. I did go for 30 minute walk. Thanks everyone!! -

Sorry to hear. I have nausea pills that the doc gave me to take proactively. Do you think maybe Prilosec or nexium would help? Fingers crossed for you! -

Had my sleeve on the 18th of April . I'm trying to do 3 protein shakes a day. Trying to drink slowly. Cheated and had 2 yogurts. Small stony fields yogurt . Also had the broth and a tablespoon of ramen noodles. My tummy just rumbles and makes crazy noises. I'm using a heating pad cause my left side feels a little sore. So do I continue protein shakes and clear liquids this week? Still have diarrhea , but only at night. I'm starting to think that the yogurt is giving me the diarrhea . I'll weigh in tomorrow . I'm sorry that some people have nausea. I was given zofran and I never got sick. I hope everyone feels better! -

Get botox while I'm in mexico for sleeve surgery?
birdie1 replied to Olivia23's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I watched him take the juvederm out of the package with the lot numbers from allergen the manufacturer. I've had Botox countless time in US and they never tested me. Oh Dr. So is at OCC. obesity control center where dr Arial Ortiz is. You don't want someone without a lot of skill to ever put put Botox around the mouth .. That's my only caution. -
Get botox while I'm in mexico for sleeve surgery?
birdie1 replied to Olivia23's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I had a soft lift with Dr. So 4 days after I got a sleeve revision. I got Botox on forehead sides of brows crows feet and absorbable juvederm(comes with lidacaine ) in marionette lines ans nasal labia folds for 475.00. It just got home and my friend says wow your skin looks really good. I wanted to see if she would notice... Now she wants to go to Mexico ... Haha -

McKee does it matter what you eat? That seems like a lot to deal with 5 months out..I hope it goes away when I can eat more solids -

Thank you fabulous I'm just getting a little worried. I've been drinking and eating a little yogurt. I also put my protein powder in a small iced coffee at 6am with no problem. I also had jello and Gatorade and ice pops -
Anyone w/ a BMI under 40 and self pay?
birdie1 replied to Linkin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my surgery with dr Ortiz on Thursday . My weight is 185 and BMI of 31. I had a lap and since 2005 that did me no good. So I just completed the revision. I'm drinking apple juice and water this am. Last night ate chicken broth and Popsicle . I have no hunger. I'm feeling a little gassy but that's it. I'm crushing my pills.. Levaquin( antibiotic ) nexium, zofran (nausea) and I take sublingual pain med..my drain is still in and prolly will stay for a few more days .. I will leave here wed morning after the leak test...
