Wow. Haven't checked this thread in a long time. Y'all have fun at the Vegas Orgy! (DON'T ACT LIKE YOU AREN'T GOING TO HOOK UP).
I look forward to the Post-Vegas threads! ...What's the...

They do count, but I like what DebiA said.

First 24 hours I was in a morphine haze. Day 2 I was on vicodin and it hurt when I stood up or sat down. Day 3 I took 1 dose of vicodin and was tired f sleeping all of time and being a zombie when...

It sounds like you are drinking too much at a time. The rumbling is normal and will fade away. Try an antacid and see if that helps. I had to take Prevcid and it stopped it the rumbling. Didn't...

8 weeks, but was told to start walking 30 mins. a day immediately.

That's one of the cool things about the Sleeve!

No regrets. Not one. It's the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I do not crave foods anymore and I go to the bathroom less frequently.
Choose a Dr. that WILL take the time to sit and answer...

I just saw the difference this weekend in pictures we took. So far, so good!

The first thing I eat/drink every day is a protein shake. I have another before lunch and another before dinner. I also usually eat some nuts before dinner too, if it's any help to you.

If you waited until the pre-op diet to stop caffeine, I'd bet that's the sourse of half of your misery. Hang in there it gets way better and the payoff is worth it!

I had EVERYTHING! Only this time, I was STUFFED before I cleaned my plate. I couldn't eat everything I wanted, so I waited a while and went back for the things I didn't have room for the first...

Welcome Jerry. I have seen a lot of people here who have had the Lap-Band and then later had, or are now considering having a GS.

Mine didn't last too long.

I had it. It's gone since my surgery

I had them too. Vivid, stupid dreams!

Sounds like Dr. Kelly is very good with his patients...

I take the Walgreens brand chewable calcium - carmel flavor - they're really good. If you have a sweet tooth, they will satisify the craving, and you get to take 2 a day.

Yay Wendy! Glad you have it behind you and are really on your way!

Awesome!

All I know is, if I don't start my day with a protein shake, I feel hungry that day and then it's a fight to chase that hunger the rest of the day. Additionally, since it's still nearr your surgery...

I'd recommend Flax Seed Oil capsules so when you do go, it won't be so hard on you.

Yes. Yes. YES. You will stall. You will be frustrated. You WILL exit the stall and lose more weight.
For many of us, our bodies are shrinking during the stall, then suddenly, one day you will...

A single yogurt, or half can of tuna doesn't sound like too much to me. I CAN eat alot, it's just so easy not to now.

Did you experience this with any of your friends? No.

Do you think I could actually be hurting friendships by being so self-reliant? Not really, but I have a friend with bad kidneys who has been...

That's great! Too bad about your friends.
