yay!! You did good. I don't know if I could stand smelling the popcorn and not get any.

wow, mine sure has. Smell is really heightened and every thing tastes so sweet. I was in the bedroom and knew my husband had cut a watermelon in the kitchen because I could smell it.

I think there were some inside. But the outside was glued.

That don't sound right. The letter should be included in the fee that goes to insurance. Have you gone to see him yet. If not find another doctor.

yay! Before you know it you will be off your blood pressure med altogether.

You have came a long way. So happy for you. Hang in there. The next thing you know we will be posting before and during pics.

Give it some time. You don't want to get it too tight because it will cause you to get food stuck. Give it a couple weeks and see how you do. I found it helpful to eat very slow and stop when I started to feel full. It Is easy to get in the habit of eating more than we should and what is actually happening is the esophagus is dilating. I went through all of this for 11 years. Finally got tired of stuck food and vomiting. Converted to a sleeve May 28th. It may be helpful to weigh your food for a while.

I am still finding it hard to believe that I actually gave up my diet pepsi and all caffeine. That was the greatest step for me. But I guess as far as food the hard thing to give up for me is bread but I know I can never have it again and will trade that any day for a small pair of pants....lol The big job for me now is to learn how to cook differently. Pintrest is my friend these days.

I have heard good things about them but have never tried them. I plan on trying them when I can.

That's awesome. Such a wonderful feeling when you can buy a smaller size.

I can't wait to feel better. I need my energy to return.

I agree and sugar free stuff is even more sickening.

I am 8 days post op and feel the same way. I hope some energy returns soon.

yay, keep up the good work.

It will be a while before I can have a banana but I saw it on amazon and thought it was something that would be nice to have.

Prayers for a safe procedure, quick healing and success to correct your issues.

yay, I hope things continue to progress smoothly.

That is discouraging but trust me you don't want to have this post op. I am 4 days post op and have it. Talk about miserable.

congratulations!!! I hope I can do that well.

It will be over before you know it. Let us know how you are doing when you can. prayers for a speedy recovery.

Glad you were able to have a fun outing. I can't wait till I am well enough to walk that much again.

My surgeon wants us to do all this walking. Its kind of hard to do when you have nothing to go on. Maybe it will get better as I am able to get in more protein.

I have to agree. I am two days post op and don't feel I am getting enough fluids. I had severe nausea at the hospital and it is still hanging with me a good bit. The Zofran does not help. I did find it easier to eat a popsicle than to drink water. But I am still sipping on the water any way. I hope it gets easier as the days go by.

you are so welcome.

thanks, the surgery was a success. Now if I can only get fluids in.
