How long should it take me to drink a 11 oz premier chocolate shake? Is twenty minutes too fast? While on week 2 post op, it went down fine but has me worried.

Was sleeved on 10/08. Please add me @ chad2rad. Is there a way to adjust your daily calorie intake on MFP? Thanks

Concerned post week two I can drink a premier shake in twenty minutes. Is that too fast? Had surgery 10/8 Also want to confess I did not measure my Soup closely last pm and today. A belly ache and first nausea in a while scared me tonight. So I am back to thinner full liquids, think the roasted tomato soup was too much, and measuring. No guess work. I did not have lortab all day until now. Hopefully that is it. It's helping. Done so well, how could I let a little boredom and carelessness put me at risk for a leak.

Just wanted to share current weight loss. Started getting serious about my pre op diet mid September and was around 318, was 302 just before my October 8 Sleeve. Today I got on the scale and was 278! Love this sleeve! 40 lbs Baby!

Best news all day. I will try one when I am able. Close to my work.

You are healing great. You really inspire me. Thanks for your positive energy.

Thinking of you with a lot of love!

This is week two of recovery. Go back to work next Monday. Looking forward to the social aspect. Trying get as much sleep I can, go for a brisk walk outside everyday and keep hydrated. I have found I like creamy tomato soup or tomato bisque. Never did pre op. I tried half of a v8 at the store. Did not sit right all night. May be too much acid this early. Best of luck to everyone.

I had surgery Monday and my jaw has been sore since. Caught myself clinching my teeth, as well. Used to but had stopped. Well today, my mouth will not open fully. I researched online and have been using a heating pad on my jawbone to relax the muscles tonight. May need to get a brace to prevent grinding. Did anyone else get tmj after intubation? Thx

There is a great book I am reading by a physician on mindlful eating that talks about listening to our bodies to guide our eating like a naturally thin person might... I really like it. www.amihungry.com

Scopolamine is a patch that goes behind your ear for nausea. Helped me so much. They put it on me in surgery holding. Looks like a really small bandaid.

Yes can't wait for the freedom to buy shirts that are not $60 that fit when I want to. Glad you are enjoying life better.

That's awesome news, Congrats!
