    Worried about Saggy Skin

    It's also genetic. Hopefully you're one of the lucky ones! My arms are going to be an issue, I can already tell [emoji30]
  2. The Baritastic App is amazing!

    Swallowing pills

    Ack, "fishing"! Wonder why my surgeon was so liberal about me taking my meds without crushing? Fortunately I didn't have to have a fishing expedition!

    Swallowing pills

    Same here. All my booklets said to crush them but the surgeon said it'd be fine to swallow them. I still do chewable vitamins and calcium citrate though.

    Did the anti nausea medicine help?

    Protein shake

    Everyone is so different. I had very little pain I was mostly sore like I had done crunches. I had no gas pain at all. Try not to freak yourself out!

    Anger and agitation

    Did they give you IV fluids? Ask them about the broth. I can't imagine why you couldn't have it.

    When did you start driving

    I could drive as soon as I was off pain meds, but I didn't drive for about ten days because I didn't have anywhere to go [emoji4]

    Anger and agitation

    lol you poor thing! I hope you're feeling a little better. I know how miserable it is.

    Anger and agitation

    Idk if it's the shake but those made me feel sick.

    Numbness?

    Yes! I asked my surgeon and he said it may or may not come back (thanks man!). So, 6 weeks later, it's starting to feel normal. Surgeon said if it didn't come back to normal I'd get used to it.

    Anger and agitation

    What shakes are you using now? Try just water while you're feeling nauseated. I had to order them online but if you have a GNC near you they'd have a better variety.

    Feeling sick

    Call your Dr. Someone should be on call.

    Anger and agitation

    Can you try a different shake with different ingredients? I couldn't handle the premier protein shakes and has to order unjury brand.

    Calories post gastri sleeve

    I was around 400 I believe. It went up quickly when I moved to purée.
  19. Lol! This cracked me up! I'll let you sit with me at the cool kid table! RNY is a great surgery (even if I didn't choose it)! I'm jealous of the faster weight loss you all have!

    I don't know what to do

    I have always wanted to paint but I was waiting for the cold weather. I'm envious of your energy. I'm still lacking much. I will have to find something though. Eating for comfort is no longer an option.

    Sleeping after surgery

    It took me about a week to be able to sleep on my sides. Hated that!

    Coffee?

    I'm drinking regular coffee (2 cups per day) and was sleeved 5/22.
  24. By the time you start purée you'll feel much better! First week is lousy but it gets way better.
