I could take in anything for a week except Popsicles ... Everything hurt going down... I knew it was from having surgery so it didn't bother me... Your body is healing ...I am now eight weeks out and life is good . Hang in there. Each day will get better . I didn't believe people when they wrote this to me .. Now I get it. Rest and take care of yourself .

Anyone???

Where in Tampa are you ?

Suzamundo... How are you? Where in Tampa are you?

I can't get past that you walk 8 hours a day!!!

Genepro ... No flavor at all... I bought it on Amazon... Little tiny scooper... 30 grams of protein... Mix it in anything!!!!

Mine was three weeks!!!

I need some help ... I gave not been eating dinner... Breakfast I eat egg whites ... Lunch cottage cheese or egg salad ... No bread... Everything I eat for dinner I can't keep down .. Chicken is the worst... Salad dies not agree with me ... I have not tried any meat. I don't want to spend the rest of my life eating eggs for dinner. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks Beaglelover....

Yes I am eight weeks out... Alyce

????I had the worst diarrhea ever...the week I came home... Pure liquid... Didn't feel bad... Just tired! I called the office and they said very common... They said I could take something but I didn't ... I kept having my broth and water and Popsicles and it stopped after the first week. Hope this helps. Not a subject everyone wants to talk about but I remember being a little freaked! Alyce

Almost all sleeve patients have to have this done....

I always get really bad coughs when I get a cold... I keep a prescription cough medicine in the house with codeine in it... Helps me sleep

I am always cold... Much more since my surgery.

I eat all kinds of soup .. With crushed crackers in it...I am 7 weeks out and still learning what agrees with me and what does not.... Good luck!

I take Genepro and I love it... I out itin my V8 juice every morning . Cannot taste it or smell it!!!!

Really...Disney World... I live right here in Florida ...and we have no cases of Ebola...I would fly right now and would not cancel any planned trip . Yes this is very scary... However the regular flu kills more people every year and we have a flu shot that money people don't even take!

I was sleeved August 27... It's Saturday morning and I scrambled one egg for breakfast . I ate it at 7 am and it is now 8:30 and I am lounging on my couch and I feel a lot of burping and indigestion... Normally I am up and off to work so I have not felt this. Is this normal ? I eat egg whites every morning for breakfast and have not had this since I have been sleeved . Yes I take Nexim in the morning. Alyce

Is popcorn on the no food list?

I had a hernia repair and that area hurt the most... I had my sleeve 8 weeks ago. I had it on a Wednesday ... Took Thursday and Friday off and Monday was Labor Day ... I am a teacher ... Went back Tuesday . Felt good ... No pain ... Tired.. Very tired but I could deal with that ... You have to drink your protein and water.. This is why you are dizzy.... Have your shakes and drink. I drank crystal light in my water and lots of broth.... And rest... Study on the couch... Pamper yourself ... You don't want problems down the road . Good luck. I am in Tampa or I would buddy up with you. Alyce

At 2 weeks I couldn't take the water anymore... I tried V8 low sodium juice... I thought I died and went to heaven ..soooo good... Something to wake up my taste buds. I have half a cup in the morning... I mix my Genepro protein in that. It's tasteless and orderless.

At 3 weeks I was still on full liquids! You are still healing and will be for quite sometime. I am 8 weeks out and can only eight 2 to 3 ounces at a meal.

Had it on a Wednesday ... Went home Thursday ... Went back to work Monday !!! Felt great and I am 58

I had total freak out inside but calm on the inside... Especially when I got to the hospital and 5:30 am and was wheeled back at 8am only to be told they had the schedule wrong and I was not going to be sleeved until 1 pm!!! I thought that was a sign to leave!!! Very very nervous ... But I did it!!! No side effects!!! Alyce

I was hungry all the time 2 weeks post op... All I thought about was real food... Now 7 weeks post op.... I would be happy if I don't eat at all... I am never hungry! I am not hungry in the morning so I have a protein drink... Lunch cottage cheese... Dinner ... Chicken...and veggie! I never think about eating at all...this sleeve really does strange things with the mind ... Lol! I am analyzing this and I think because I can eat such a little amount... 2-3 ounces... I feel like it's not worth sitting down to eat. I just cannot stretch out 2 ounces whole my family eats a full meal. I'm not bitter or mad at all in case it sounds like I am... I'm very happy I just don't want to sit at a table and fake it. Even going out to dinner has been hard for me ....Alyce
