You said something about your Doctor tightening up your sleeve when he did your hernia surgery? Can that happen? I think that's what I need. I'm eating way to much and too many times in the day I...

Thank you all for your support. I realize the first couple days are probably the hardest on the pouch test. I don't know why I worry about 2 days of only liquids since I went 30 days of liquids ...

I'm starting the 5 day pouch test Monday and I'm hoping for great results! My surgery was almost 2 years ago and I have noticed a 20 pd gain over the last few months and frankly I'm scared to death!...

I am extremely tired all the time but I am only 4 weeks post op, so I'm hoping it gets better. At work today I almost feel asleep & had to come home at noon just to lay my head down for 30 mins to...

They told me liquids & protein drinks for first 2 weeks then puréed stage like the eggs, retried beans & cream soups for the next 3 months. They told me to stay away from potatoes since there is no...

I would love to know Barbara! These protein shakes my dr has me on make me want to throw up. I think they're milk based & I can't stand milk. The only reason I'm still drinking them is because I...

I had my surgery on a Wednesday & I went back to work the following Wednesday, so 7 days counting the weekend.. I thought it was too soon & I have been exhausted everyday. I think 2 wks is a good...

I'm only 8 days out & I'm already dealing with the mental stuff! I'm even threatening to call my doctor to see if he thinks I should be on some anti depressant meds for a while. All I want is real...

Thank you all for your kind comments, they have helped me more than you will ever know! I will definitely have a SF Popsicle now! I never did think it would hurt me, but in the beginning you're...

Thank you for posting .. It helps in some way to know that I'm not the only one who woke up from surgery still starving! At least I know I'm not crazy.. This is post op day 5, & I go back to work on...

This is post op day 3.. Finally home from the hospital .. Already doubting this decision & wondering if this was worth it! Dr said procedure went well with no problems but didn't realize I would...

Re: 3months today
That is one of my concerns, that I will still want the fast food and all the sodas still. As long as I don't crave them, I can handle not having them. But from what I hear you...

Yes I agree that research is your best tool in this situation, and I have done my research, and did have my mind made up on the sleeve until my doctor appointment for the evaluation and before I knew...

My surgery date is March 28th and my nerves are getting the best of me! My surgery date is 3 weeks away and I'm still debating on whether to have the sleeve or bypass. The problem is my doctor is...
