[bollettieri3 0]

First' date=' congrats on your 90 lb loss. That's awesome. I wonder if why you feel so bad s because you didn't follow the food stages. My dr says even if I follow the stages he sets out, sometimes folks have to step back to the previous stage a little longer. Have you talked to your dr?[/quote']

Thank u actually I tired the whole follow the steps I had it terrible in beginning I had to have my gallbladder emergency removed then I had to have my dr go back in and put botox to loosen up my slevee so I could stop throwing up that has got a lil better but am still throwing up how long post open are u do u have any drinks or foods that could maybe help me out thanks for the reply

I am with you...I was sleeved on 8/7/13...have had really hard time drinking plain Water...everyday gets better. Today it seems to be much better going down.

When I swallow....my stomach gurgles and it feels like it sits there...some of the things I have found helpful are...having room temp Water as opposed to ice cold, standing up walking around when drinking the water.....putting in a big cup and sipping all day so i can see the progress that I have made, also adding a splash of cranberry or apple juice to plain water. Tea is helpful as well. My Protein shakes are another story...takes me all day to drink one....these are counted towards my daily goal of 64oz daily...I am not close to there yet.

Gave you found a Protein Drink you like? There's a nectar drink that has I believe 23 g Protein in about 16 iOS. You mix it with Water. It's thin like Crystal Light. I've been told to mix it with the cpCrystal Light but that makes it too sweet to me.

I have started chewing on some tums like 4 times a day and then today I'm gonna start Pepcid ac my doc says sometimes people after the sleeve have bad reflux ... Hoping this helps it still hurts in my stomach once the fluids hit it , its like a horrible sharp burning pain ? think yesterday I got to 30 oz of Fluid , still way short of the 64 oz goal ......

I am on Prilosec 2x aday...I also take 2 tbs maalox at night....prior to the surgery, I was on Prilosec 1xday...but I think my surgeon puts everyone on Prilosec after surgery...tums are good to for Calcium...my energy I down but I know that once I start drinking more if my Protein drinks and start purées it will be much better.

Hang in there....

Applesauce? Not a good idea just 5 days out. That's a stage II food and can slow your healing process. I too was sleeved on 8/7, but the pain has been manageable as long as I walk at least 4 times a day for about 10 min each trip. I feel much better each morning, but I would definitely NOT use Stage II foods to curb your hunger pains. They will subside. Just stick with it!! Good luck.
