After this i don't want to hear the word Soup mention ever again. I am feeling the same way. What sucks for me am on this liquid phase for 3 weeks after surgery. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App I feel ya. I'm dealing with pretty much the same thing. A week of clear liquids and broths, then slightly thicker liquids (consistensy still has to be able to go through a straw - without actually using one, obviously) for another 2 weeks or so. I can't. I'm so over this. I'm looking forward to "moist" foods, like scrambled eggs and stuff. I know I'm lucky and shouldn't be complaining, but I just had to rant anyway! haha We are humans, we not perfect. This is life changing for most of us. Of course we have to vent. Venting keeps us sane. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

My husband had book a trip to Mexico for mother's day, but my surgeon told me that's not a goood idea. I would be 4weeks and a few days post-op. He said i should wait at least 3mnths after before i travel, he also said in that time i will be more familiar with what foods work with my new stomach. So we put it off until November which is both our birth month. I think i would wait if it was me. We went on a cruise in December and it was amazing. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 4/5. I went in the OR like 9:10am and i was home by 12:30pm. It was done in a same day surgery center. I threw up once since surgery, however i have bad gas pains and i can feel pain at the incision site. Wishing all of us a speedy recovery. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

So happy for you Misty. The gas pains are not kind to me either. I threw up once yesterday, and then today after taking my pain medication. Congratulations on your 15lbs weight loss. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, am new to this forum. I have been reading everyone post for over a month now which answer's most of my questions. I was sleeved on april 5th by Dr.Bertha from njbariatric institute.

I have my medication so i will take them. Anyone else sleeve on the 5th? Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

True Jamie, you're so right, even getting to the bathroom takes longer for me now. Thanks for the advice, you're amazing. I can tell you're very knowledgeable about this journey Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App I was exactly where you are at one point and I had a million questions and concerns of my own. These forums helped keep me sane through the whole process, so I really like to be able to pay-it-forward now that I've "been there, done that". Thanks Jamie, i just started crying awhile ago, for no apparent reason. i get so emotional. It's good to have the guidance, because it's not an easy journey Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App I used GasX strips and they helped a little bit. Another thing that helped me with gas pain was marching in place. Moving around seems to really help. I bought GasX strips at Walmart, but that was pre-op for me, which was like 20 months ago. So I can't promise they still carry them. Okay thanks i will try to move around more today.
