I got the chewable vitamin c, multi, and calcium citrate. They are much better than trying to swallow all those pills!

315.2 today. Down 3.6 from last week.

Even though I shouldn't I weigh myself every morning I can't stop myself!

I love your post! I told everyone to buy me something from Victoria's Secret for my birthday. I've never been able to fit into anything there and I can't wait to finally be able to!

318.8 today. Down 4.2 so far.

I'm 3 weeks out and mine feel a lot better. Still sore but no longer terrible.The only thing I can't figure out is why my stomach feels sunburned now. I have to wear huge shirts so it doesn't rub against my skin.

I'm from Ohio but had my surgery in Pittsburgh!

I love the Premeir chocolate! I have been drinking it since pre op And it really fills me up.

I am at 323. My goal will be to lose 23 pounds. I know it's ambitious. I just want to get to the land of 200!

The pre op is tough. My Dr. Allowed one small meal with a protein and vegetable a day so that helped. I found the Swanson chicken broth to be pretty tasty. Also premeir protein drinks have 30g of protein so that helped fill me up.

I was sleeved 12/18 and I have the same thing! I had my apt today and the surgeon said it's normal. My one incision hurts worse than the others because that's where they pull The stomach out.

I am 3 days post op. The incision sites are really tender as expected. Does anyone have advice on the best way to sleep comfortably? No matter how I lay it hurts an incision. Then when I stand up it's even worse. Any advice is appreciated. I'm very happy to be sleeved even with the pain! ????

I was super excited to start the puréed portion of the diet a few days ago. My doctor allows scrambled eggs made with egg beaters. I finally tried it and have never been so sick. I felt like it was stuck in my throat and had this horrible pain in my stomach. I can't believe I ever complained about a stomach ache before! That was nothing compared to this! I immediately got super sick. I hoped I would make it through this process without getting physically ill. I didn't feel right untill the next morning. Now I am nervous to try any other new foods. Anyone else have this experience?

I am glad I'm not alone with this problem! That's why I love this site! It stinks because I really like egg salad but the thought of eggs makes my stomach hurt! I may wait untill the next phase to try them again. All in all this process still isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I worried about knowing when I would be full but it's much more automatic now. Thank you all for the advice! I love reading it all , especially the Frankie comment! I needed that laugh this morning!

I guess she thinks egg beaters are fluffier? I have my first post op appointment tomorrow so I am writing down all of my questions. I added a tiny bit of milk but next time I decide to try I will add more.

I am 18 days post op and I still find myself pretty emotional. Some days I am fine, some I don't want to talk to anyone, and some I cry for no reason. I'm not sure why my hormones are crazy.

I am now 2 1/2 weeks post op. It definately gets better. Sometimes I can sleep on one side comfortably. I wake up a lot for some reason but the incision pain isn't as bad anymore.

I was sleeved December 18. The pains are getting much better. The main problem I have had is the lowest incision on my right side. Every time I stand, sit, or make certain movements I get a pain where that incision is, almost like a sharp pulling feeling. Has anyone else had this? I am going to call my surgeon in the morning to ask her but just wondered if anyone had this experience.

I am worried that I may have overdone it since being home. It's hard to not do stuff yourself. I will definately call her in the am!

I'm going to have to try that once it's healed enough to put oil on it.

I love the swansons chicken broth!

Thank you all! I stayed at my moms for a few days and her recliner is now my best friend!

I am in the same boat! I was sleeved 12/18 and since 2 days post op I have had the same problem every day!! The doctor said it's because I am only on liquids still. It's aggravating, but I will be on to mushies soon!!

I like the pre made premeire chocolate shakes. They don't have that gross protein drink taste.

I had my sleeve 12/18. I'm still in the hospital but should be going home today. Yesterday was pretty rough, a lot of nausea and gas pain. Today is much better!! I'm doing pretty well on liquids and feel somewhat human again.
