6 weeks...

[MissTiffany203 31]

My journey is going great. Sorry to hear about all of the complications you had to go thru. I also have the sick feeling. Went in for my 6.week on Monday doc said I could be eating too fast or too much. I slowed down the past 2 days and have given up on my coffee and the icky blah feeling has been gone so yay for that.

Aww that's good!! Yeah I need to work on eating & drinking slower... It's so hard though!' =/ but it'll get easier hopefully!

Does anybody have any tips on how to get their liquids in? That's the part that kills me... I was never a drinker before my sleeve I would literally chug a bottle of Water when I realized I hadn't drank anything all day. Needless to say I can't do that anymore but I still forget to drink.

That's something I discussed with my surgeon today since I'm chronically dehydrated. He said to sip all day and always keep a bottle of Water with me. I asked if I could use a straw and he said if I think it will help then to go for it.

Check blood pressure and blood sugar at home. Meds will need adjusting at you lose.

Are you on a B12? I know that if I don't take mine I am just plain whipped.
