Tooflufly...I'm on liquids until next Thursday...but my stomach is feeling a lot better...and now we are both hungry lol I hope those 9 pounds that I gained are all the IV fluids that I got at the ER... I'm seeing one of my surgeon on Friday...to see how my tummy is doing...n I hope the scale is back to where is supposed to be... Donegan im on liquids.

Hello ladies.. Im doing great thank God...everything is going down fine... So last Monday I was 241..... And today I was 250 lol How in the world..im eating like air n nothing lol I wont stress.... It will have to come down one way or another! In another note, I went to see my cardiologist today...and he lowered my blood pressure medication from 120 mg to 60 mg...yayyy.... Thank Jesus... Donegan whats plantar fasicitis??

Thank you ladies... since I got home yesterday...everything that I have drank, had go down easily....n haven't throw up in 2 days..thank you thank you Lord! Just a headache....I think my stomach is like oh no liquid diet again lol Im not hungry...my stomach is lol

Ladiesss Im homeee!!!! Well I actually left the ER without being discharged... and I dont care..I know for sure they already charched my insurance... I praise God!!! Cuz everything went extremely great!...thank God! They didn't put a tube (extent) in like he though, instead he he dilated my stomach with a ballon.. It took 30 minutes under propofol lol When I woke, they did another upper GI test...and i saw my stomach looking a lot wider but not exactly the size he want it to be...but he said, that during the week is going to continue to dilate on its own... So far ice cubes, clear soup, and waterelon went down fine..im just a bit scared, that I think that im going to feel the restriction again. Dr. wanted me to spend the nite at the hospital, but I couldn't spend another night at the ER...I been waiting for 29 hours for room and nothing, they said surgery department upstairs is full..but for me took keep waiting, on a stretcher, with so much noise, all the lights on and people screen all the time....I didn't slept at all last night..and I wasn't going to do the same thing tonite..without taking a shower eww.. The Dr. wants me in another week of full liquids... Im exhausted..but extremely grateful of my Jesus.. thank you to my Dr. too, he was extremely concern... Thank you ladies for praying for me God is good.

Thank you for the prayers ladies..makes me feel peace. I'm waiting for hubby to come from work, but I think im just going to tell him to go straight home...since I want him to come early in the morning...is 11:19 pm NYC. Im still at the ER..no rooms available yet... The noise is incredible!! I haven't been able to sleep for a second :/ And ladies I cant wait for all of this to be over, and go home to try the coffee creamers with the protein shakes lol... Gn. I will update tomorrow.

Thank you so much, too fluffy, I really need those prayers right now... I been admitted to Hospital m saw the surgeon, who is doing everything on his power to arrange an endoscopy to insert a tube in my stomach, n leave it there for a few days/weeks to see if my stomach gets the new form n stays wider.. Im loving my IV Fluids...yumm

Thank you, ladies.. So I went for the upper gi test....bad news..my stomach is literally cut in half by scar tissue..I saw my stomach on the screen n when they told me to drink some thick white liquid..it literally stays in the upper part.... so I just got to the ER....no iv yet.... And waiting to see a Dr. to ask him to call my surgeon......I Call his office but he was not there.. but am at the same hospital were he is...maybe he is in surgery... I have an appt with him tomorrow at 9 am....but I wont be able to be at home dehydrated n not able to drink anything either... but I know God is with me and He always have everything under control... and because I dont like being negative...I still cant believe, I dont have diabetes anymore...blood sugar test 81 yayy...I praise God for that!! I will update later... Thanks for reading again.

Thank you, msmitch I don't feel or taste acid at all... I will stay home...and im going to sip some tea, that's the only thing that goes down.

Great job! Hazel 28 lbs down! Well ladies... Im not doing so good.... I keep vomiting a lot....well I actually induced the vomit...because food stays stuck in my esophagus and it wont pass to my stomach, sometimes even my own saliva stays stucks for hours and then i just have to make myself vomit, I don't feel pain, but is very uncomfortable....I don't know what happen cuz I was eating softs foods already and now I cant...plus I spit all the time, like 10 times a minute... I call the Dr. and he said to go see him right away...tomorrow they going to do an upper GI study... My Dr. thinks scar tissue has formed inside my esophagus...and if that is the case, they will have to do an endoscopy to dilate and maybe trim inside my esophagus.. In the worst case esenario, if after 2 endoscopy the dilation doesnt work...they will have to convert my sleeve to a rny bypass...Yikes!! But I have to say something..I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! I have lost 32 lbs... And Do Not regret this surgery at all..( to whoever read this post in the future, please dont get discouraged by this post, this is only a liitle rock on the way of my journey). Now im thinking if I should go to the ER...I was feeling weak this morning..but now I have throw up twice since I got home...a few sips of water ugh!! Ladies..should I go to the ER or just wait for the appointment at 9 am tomorrow? Thanks for reading, ladies.

Welcome msmitch...congrats on the surgery Donegan..thank you so much...now I know, I will start diluting the isopure...I really need a break from the shakes....I cant stand the taste or smell of proteins powders anymore..

How is everyone doing? Why is everyone so quite...we can do this ladies!! Well, I think im in a stall, haven't lost a pound in one week... I throw up 8 times on Saturday, when I almost didn't ate anything, the only new thing I did was that I drank Isopure coconut juice n my stomach just went crazy the rest of the day :/ I tried the alpine punch last night, just a few sips, and my stomach was like, are you for real lol I DON'T LIKE ITT!!! I will try it again in a few days/week.... The coconut taste horrible, but the alpine punch is delicious...but the best thing is that it has No Carbs, 160 calories and 40 Grams of Protein in a 20 oz bottle... I bought it at GNC $4.85 a bottle...n they have a sale buy 3 n get one free! I just took out the membership card, so it might be cheaper next time.

Congrats mamachef...on the baby boy and the 40 lbs off...exciting How is pregnancy now? I know you told me at first, it really really hard, still the same now??

Omg hazel, I had the same thing yesterday for dinner, refried beans with cheddar cheese melted on top yumm!! My husband is Mexican, so it was nice to have the same thing for dinner lol today I blended some chicken with some stew beans, and it when down a lot easier...I have to start blending more my food instead of mashing them with with a folk and then chewing them like gum.... My tummy is happier Thanks for the advice on ttc

Congrats to both of you... Im 2 weeks po n 20 pounds down

Donegan, im taking my fluids in fine, I love plain water, n that has been the easiest part of everything.....im feeling a lot bettet n bp is a little higher , I really think my bp is trying to stabilize... About ttc..., I have pcos n almost 32 yrs n hubby is 43 yrs n some male factor.... None of have kids. Before surgery, my surgeon n I discuss all my fertility problems, and planned that after eight months I can start trying. Thanks for responding

Hello... Im not feeling the burning pulling pain as often as before... Diabetes disappear by the time I came out of the hospital, thank God. High blood pressure was the number one reason I had this surgery...and im having a hard time believing that today for the first time un 12 yrs, I didn't took my blood pressure medication, it just stays low, I keep monitoring My bp all this weekend, cuz I was feeling really weak, dizzy n nauseous, n I thought, oh no my bp has to be high, n when I took it it was really low, I think my body is trying to adjust to everything that is going on.....I made and appt with my cardiologist today, to make sure, that is okay for me to leave the medication now.. On another note....is anybody here, will be trying to conceive in a 1 or 2 years?? My surgeon told me I can start trying un 8 months

Who else is having surgery in January 2013 and then ttc...I would like to have a group of ladies getting sleeved and then waiting to ttc, so we can wait together. Thanks. God bless you all

You all going to do excellent!!!! In the Name of Jesus! I had my surgery jan 13....and today I had my po appt....and guess what, I already lost 18 lbs in 11 days. I Praise God for this. One advice, please walk right after surgery, of course a few hours later when they let you... I will be praying for all of you

Oh forgot to write, the Dr. said no gym yet Just walking around the house n outside, not even treadmill... He also said that the pulling sharp pain feeling on my right side, is probably scar tissue forming, n that it will go away in a few days or weeks.

Hello ladies, I want to thank dlm59 n MaziD..again! For all the tips you guys gave me, im getting in almost 70 grams of protein like water, I love plain water.
