    I think every minute why did I do this? I live on a beach and I just sit inside or walk around the yard.......but maybe some day soon I will fit in a smaller bathing suit!

    protein..4 days post op

    I was told that until your post op appointment after one week you don't start protein....they are not clear liquids. Unjury does make a chicken flavored that you can add to your broth. I have not worried until I get the go to full liquids to worry about protein....I am trying mylanta chewable gas pills to help.....lets hope it works because I would love to get sleep tonight!

    Negative Nancy

    I am not even going to sugarcoat this. I hated EVERYTHING about this surgery. I don't know if maybe I had a bad reaction to the meds, but I was VERY sick. I had to spend an extra night in the hospital, because I could not stop vomiting. How happy was I when the nurse FINALLY came in and stuck a suppository up my you know what! Each day I do start to feel better; however until I see the results I can't find the worth yet.

    Scared of Vomiting

    I vomited after surgery, and it was the worst time of my life. I still don't think I am recovered. The only thing that worked for me was a suppository (gross- but made me so happy after getting it!)

    Not Sure if its the right move...

    It is a MAJOR surgery, and something to really think about. I know soon when I start to see effects I may feel different, but right now I totally regret it. I weighed 220 and I wish I just went to traditional dieting.

    My journey begins...

    I am sitting here drinking my clear liquids and a million things are running through my head. What will the pain be like? Will this surgery work for me? Will people think I am taking the easy route out? No matter what the answers to these questions I will still be getting my sleeve surgery tomorrow at 7 am. I am nervous, but very excited. My journey started almost a year ago. I sat in the kitchen with a friend in my bathing suit, and we complained to each other that we needed to do something. We both signed up for the informational class and I went, and she did not. From there I found out the doctor I wanted performed the surgery at a hospital that my insurance did not take. I cried. (I cried a lot through this process!). I switched doctors and began the process again. I was super set. I started my nutrition appointments; however, I was very unsuccessful with losing. The day before my third nutrition appointment Hurricane Sandy set me back an entire month! Then after I finally finished the process (which I never thought could happen) I was denied by my insurance. They asked for a two year weight history, and based my denial on my previous year's weight not being high enough. I appealed, and this was also a very long process. I finally won! I was so happy and realized that this moment was going to change my life. I am still struggling with the pre-surgery diet, and am still feeling like when I get there tomorrow they are going to say no! I am so anxious that I am never going to be able to sleep tonight. When I go to bed tonight I am going to think of my family, and how happy they will be to see me happy.

    birth control after sleeve?

    My doctor did not say that the pill was not effective; however, any birth control that changes your hormones can cause blood clots. My doctor is allowing me to go back on the pill two months after surgery.
