chicken or tuna salad, chicken vegetable soup, yams, vegetable soup with protein. This was pretty much my purée diet. Oh and sugar free Applesauce. It's a short stage thankfully. -

Stall stall stall please end. I know calories are not our main concern but about how many calories are you all getting a day. I was around 6-700 but since I went back to work I've been close to 1000. That shouldn't be too much but feels like it is. -

So is this week over yet? Next week my NUT wants me off protein drinks. I'm not good with that. They make protein easy -

I go for my post op today. Going to ask about exercise. I'm still bleeding from the incision I got the infection in. So it will be interesting to see what he says about that. I'm down from 199 to 182.2. Since I went from a band to a sleeve he said the loss would be slower and more steady for whatever. There is good and bad to that. Good maybe the change won't cause a ton of nosy questions from people I don't want to talk too. Bad is I just want to be down to goal and maintain from there. But my want it now attitude is about 80% my problem to start. Day 2 back at work. Wish I could have just taken off till the New Years. Oh well. Next life i will be born rich skinny and gorgeous. This life I'll keep working on it. -

Went back to work today. I find that everyone here is eating and eating. I don't think I realized the constant intake. When people aren't eating they're talking about eating. No one has said I look different or anything. Which is ok by me. However the few people who know about surgery have said I look pale. Thanks. I'm ready for a nap. -

Congrats!!! -
I do kinda feel like u. Although I have my first follow up this coming week so I haven't seen him yet. I had issues early on and kept calling and kept getting the that's normal speech. Eventual went to urgent care to find I had a nasty infection. Before surgery if I called office they called back within minutes. After it was in a few hours and I felt unheard. I feel like I bought a used car and now that I have the car they don't want to help or deal with me. But we will see on Tuesday how it goes

I see my dr Tuesday. I hadn't thought I might be anemic. I feel a little better today. I am tired. Stools are fine (best they've ever been). My sleep is all whacky. I think anemia would actually make me faint actually. Hmmm. Thank u again -
1 year out PROGRESS from August 2012 Post op Peeps!

You really look amazing -
So had my procedure nov 24. Battled an infection about a week out. Doing better with that. Doing good with water and protein. But the last two days experiencing dizziness when I stand ( even slowly). My BP remains around 110/80 so it's not that. No signs of dehydration. Maybe it's my blood glucose level. I don't know. I nearly pass out if I stand too quickly. Anyone else experiencing that?

Shoulder pain relief?
emsgirl114 replied to send2steph's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had it several weeks when I had my lapband two years ago. I finally drank a very small amount of sprite or gingerale and immediately burped it all out. I know you shouldn't have soda. But I was desperate. I only had it the first few days with the sleeve. But I also walked as much as I could and never laid completely flat the first 2 weeks. -
