I went crazy and believed that I was going to die when I stopped drinking pop (soda). It is withdrawal. Caffeine is a really addictive drug as is sugar. I believe you should be fine. Check with your doctor too.

Call the doctor's office again or go to the office if he is there and asked to speak with your doctor directly or office coordinator. If you are in pain or stress maybe like it was said go to urgent care.

I hope you are doing well!

Great video! I wish you well! Thanks for sharing!

Two days after my surgery the hospital gave me lukewarm chicken broth. When it touched my lips I was feeling well enough to go home. I almost walked home. At home it is low-sodium Campbell's with white pepper.

Welcome and thank you for sharing. I sure you will get back on track. I just had my sleeve and indeed l am newbie. However, I know that you taken a brave step forward. Keep reaching out.

I hope you feel better!

This is what I am told is the hard part. I know you will feel better. Take care of yourself. Let's us know how you are doing!

Good job!

Congratulations! You are doing very well.

It is done! I am in just a little pain and happy. Day one is over good night.

Congratulations!

The end of day 5 of 7 pre-op, I have noticed the number of coupons for my favorite restaurants have increase by 100% that come to my email inbox. They tell me to "come on down and enjoy a free appetizer on us. " I can't eat but I can dream. One day, I will be able to smell my favorite appetizer. Until then I will just dream!

Yes, being able to do is a gift. I will never see it anyother way. Congratulations on you surgery. I read a lot. 24 pounds is great. Good job!

I hope you both had a great surgery. It will be soon time to sip sip and walk walk.

I am to worn out to cheat. I am not judging anyone else. I have made so many excuses related to why I am so fat. In the last six months I learned so much about my eating habits. I want this to be the start towards a healthier lifestyle. Now, do I hate smelling the great food my family is eating Yes Yes H...Yes. I really want some potatoes skins with extra cheese and bacon. But, I am going to drink my broth and pack my bag for the hospital!

I have talked about it with some of my co-workers. In the beginning, the conversation was, "your not that fat enough just workout." Another time it was "you have a husband why loss weight?" However recently, a have a few friends at work who have been my cheerleaders. But, I was never looking for permission just acceptance.

Congratulations! Good luck and make sure you sip sip sip and walk walk walk. Have a great journey!

Good luck and congrats! We can do this!

I lost my sister this April. It hurts so much that I am crying now. She had a massive hart attach in her bathroom after a workout. I doing this surgery for myself and family. I don't want to just die as it almost kills the ones you love. In the last 12 years I have also lost two baby boys and my parents. There are days I just cry. I want to live healthy and happy. This process is giving something positive to work on for life. I want to live above the pain.

I amon the second day of the liquid diet! Today's meals include protien shakes, beef broth and jello. I feel like I back in the hospital after having my son. How is your energy level? Any great tasting broth recommendations? Good luck to you all!

Happy to have this change.
