Any sleevers having surgery 12/17?

[Mrs Jacobs 10]

..I'm a 12/17 sleever as well. I'm doing okay just having a hard time telling the difference between head hunger and real hunger. I'm doing ok with sipping my liquids and not eating to fast. I'm also getting used to what this new "full" feeling is because it is definetly different from Pre sleeved.

Yes it's pretty interesting on the way the new full feels like. But its still a struggle for me to grasp the fact I can't drink and eat at the same time . But in getting a hang of it because if not it hurts lol

Hey 17ers, anyone having intense bad breath-- the kind you can't just brush your teeth or eat a mint to make go away? Any suggestions to solve it? The worst problem is that I can't even smell it but my hubby can... :-/. PRevious posts talk about this being a result of ketosis which is good but looking for suggestions to manage it. I was thinking of pureeing some parsley or...

Hi all...I was sleeved on the 17th as well and doing ok other than the nausea. Anyone else experiencing that? Surgeon upped my antacids but I'm still having symptoms. it was suggested I might be drinking too fast but cant imagine thats it because i really stick to his no more than 2 oz in 15mins formula. If anyone has any suggestions for managing the nausea, I'd greatly appreciate it.

How's the 17th Sleevers doing? We are close enough to mushy foods to almost taste it!!!

How's everyone doing?

I am learning to like hot tea more and more, but I do really miss my coffee! I am finally able to keep my liquids in. This has been a difficulty, but I am thankful that I was able to avoid becoming dehydrated.

I did come up with an awesome recipe for a dessert, or to help with a chocolate craving! I'll share if there are those that would like the directions.

Pat yourselves on the back!! We have made a step to better our lives and our future!!
