  1. I can eat anywhere from 1/4 c to 1/2 c depends on what it is . The grits where watery and I knew they would swell so I only ate 4 bites. My dr said that our stomach would be sticky and flat and to always take one bite and wait a few minutes to let it slide down and open the stomach up.
  2. I haven't had any problems I'm 3 weeks post and so far I have had tuna fish or canned chicken with a little mayo, eggs, grits, and crab cake ( frozen from SAMs and it was the bomb) those are the only meats I've had. I had a bite of string beans and sweet potato but I'm trying to stay away from carbs I still can't get all my fluids in but I've never been a big drinker
  3. I was so excited to have scramble eggs but not those egg beaters I had a real egg softly scrambled with a little milk at 2 weeks post surg chewed it extra good! Then had tuna . But I still drink a shake every morning
  4. This is only my 3rd week after sleeve. I guess I have already reached my weight loss stall! I'm eating very little carbs mainly just protein and I've started walking a mile every morning ! I hope this doesn't last long!

    Stay, it's for the best. You won't be able to drink a lot and they will have you on IV fluids .

  7. They served me coffee in the hospital at every meal, but I'm not a coffee fan .

  9. What chewable vitamins are you sleevers using ?
  10. I had many the first week then it can't to a stop and I had cramps so took 2 stool Softener And it helped I also bought milk of mag for a back up plan! !
  11. I count my protein dink as ounces
  12. I was sleeved on the 7 th and I can only get an average of 55 oz of fluid and 60 gr protein . I woke up early today to try and dink more
  13. My routine for preparing for sleep is a dose of Tylenol , and a gas strip, even though I'm not hurting I'm trying to avoid it from waking me up. I'm in the recliner sour rounded by pillows .sometimes I put an ice pack on my belly for about 20 min . My pillow is in the shape of a 7 and has been a godsend !!

  21. I feel obsessed with this site Im on it reading everything I can. I have stocked up on so much supply's it know that Walmart and jello stock has gone up this month ,lol I'm scared but ready to leave the plus size world ????????????????????
  22. My experience so far. The surgery took 1.5 hrs. The worst was waking up in recovery. The pain was excruciating but my nurse was quick in giving me pain meds . It lasted about 30 minutes. So far my comfort comes from my heating pad I'm moving up and down my back for pain, Chapstick , and an ice pack the nurse put behind my neck. I have a few hiccups and nausea spells. My mouth and tongue are dry so take a wet rag and wipe them with it and sucked a drop water out of it to try to moisten tongue. I have walked a fe steps with no problem . I will update tomorrow
  23. Thinking of ordering this . Has anyone tried the fruit flavored version?
  24. It's now Day 2 the nurses where checking vitals every hour last night I had warm electric leg compressions was given a dose of blood thinner in my stomach to prevent blood clots this morning . My morphine pump is gone and I'm on IV Tylenol . I took my swallow test and past . I have now been instructed to drink one ounce of fluid every 15 min. My tray had unsweetened tea beef broth unflavored unjury and sf Popsicle . Too tired to look at laptop . I am not hungry i am only soar on the larger incision on side. And my throat is a little soar.
  25. Lambeautiful yes it was laparoscopic. I haven't had any headache YET . When I walk or talk a lot the gas moves and u get nausea . They wake me up every hour to take my vitals and have me take 10 deep breaths. I take my swallow test later today . I'm a Winnie to pain and as of now this hasn't been as bad as I had prepared . I have 6 small cuts and only the one on my side hurts when i move or try to vomit .will update later!
