You look great. My biggest fear is a leak, I have been following my doctors food schedule exactly & waiting 6 weeks to do gym, I'm really freaked out about leaks lol

I was scared of a leak at first-especially because I had a swollen belly for weeks after surgery. It took almost a month for the swelling to go down.

Better safe than sorry!

Are you adjusting to your new eating/drinking/protein plan?

Also in MS I live in Vicksburg surgery was January 29 Dr Carroll did my sleeve best decision I ever made!

I'm walking around my neighborhood 3x a day. Protein hasn't been to hard, I really like the punch flavored Isopure, when it's really cold I think it's similar to punch Gatorade. I can't really eat Proteins yet. I do protein fortified oatmeal for Breakfast.< /p>

I am finally feeling like I'm eating real food, this week I was able to add eggs & fruit. No problems so far. How is everyone?

[1Day1Life4Now 882]

I'm eating all real foods now but still drinking my Protein Shakes in order to get in my Protein. Plus they add Fluid and I like the way they taste. I am eating a lot of fish and chicken and I'm ready for something very different. I just don't know what My reflux is pretty bad and even though I am taking protonix, I'm still in pain. Do any of you have that problem? It really limits putting any spices in my food. :-( And we know how us Mississippi girls like spice in our food.

I have reflux occasional & take Nexium, but only like 3 times. Maybe try eating only one food at a time & see if you get reflux? That way you can figure the cause. I don't get chicken for 2 more weeks. I love my chocolate protein shakes, I also bought some flavorings do I can change them up

how are all of you mississippi folks feeling? i am hanging in. this is a learning curve….that's for sure.

Anyone attend support group meetings held by you Bariatric Surgeon office? Mine is held the first Tuesday of every month. I went but I don't know if I'll be returning. First it's kind of far from my house about 40 minutes, second it's held at 6 PM. I loved hearing the success stories of veterans Sleevers, but I get that here on fb. Question and answers session was nice since the answers were relevant to my surgeon and his recommendations.
