Efishman, mine was not he 10th as well! What is your current diet like? I losr so much weight to begin with because i was only allpwee gatorade for the 1dt week aftwr surgery and i think that made a big difference for me. What ive moticed is all surgeons are different and have such different instructions for before and after surgery! Also, did you request to add to the fb page?

I would love to chat back and fourth like y'all but I can't quite figure this forum stuff out. I can reply to a topic at the bottom like I am now. I get that. But then I'll receive an email if someone types after me then I click the link and it takes me back here but I can't reply again. Then I can't remember the titles or topics so I can't ever find the chat again. Am I technological inclined? Haha.

Hi

I am 48 y.o Fwent for surgery 11/25/15 was suppose to go home 2 days later, but fell due to dizziness, they also said due to pain meds and that I had been overdoing the walking, went home one day later.

I was able to do the Water but drinking every 5 min if I was not sleeping

For first 2 weeks had no energy to take a shower every 2-3 days I had to rest all the rest of the day. Today its 29 days after surgery, drinking 64 ounces of water and eating a lttiel over 65 of mostly chicken. Today I had a snack" steamed soft brocolli!

It will get better. I started surgery 8/4/15 at 250lbs, day of surgery 228.8 and today 205lbs walking on treadmill 7 days a week for 30 min and started 5lbs dumbells for my arms every other day, started that a week ago. Saturday I will start swimming and when allowed will start Hula hooping and more weights at gym

Regarding my diet, I started with the fluids mostly Water and one 2 ounces of applejuice with water, but stopped that one week later and went to only water, I do not like taste of fake sugar, Unjury chicken Protein, after 2 weeks I would cook 2 chicken in crockpot take all parts without fat an skin and grounded it up in machine, added water and froze it in ice cub in freezer, For Breakfast I would do mostly greek yogurt with a tiny tiny bit of low sugar jelly, for lunch and dinner chicken sometimes a little store bought applesauce no added sugar, it came in a big jar, so I also froze the rest in icecubs, works perfect!

sugar popsicles about 2-4 day, now down to 1 a day, do not like the taste of sorbitol.

Yesterday approved to go to soft diet, again cooked 2 whole chickens in crockpot and froze bags of 2 ounces, I work from a home office, but if I do not plan ahead regarding protein and foods it would not work for me

Elizabeth, I'm terrible at replying to this forum stuff too. Lol

Hi, my name is Melissa. I had my sleeve done on December 5 and would love to join this group. Everything is so new and it's nice to be able to connect with others going through the same things.

Hi All -

Just wondering - would my posts on the FB page show up on my feed? I haven't told everyone on FB yet....

[jlvolkma 10]

Hey karen! I believe bri said they show up only for you since it's a closed group. I haven't told anyone on my fb either! :-)
