Sheryl, While I am not bipolar I have issues with severe anxiety. I too was a bit of a basket case as surgery got closer I went into hermit mode because I could not handle anything. I am 7 months out...
There are several reasons they say not too. If the food is washed out quickly depending what you eat you will end up eating more it also can cause stretching. Try chewing on a small teaspoon of ice...

I liked the cream of mushroom and cream of potato they have them low fat varieties of all the cram soups.
Hi, I use system 4 I am still using it and have been using it about 8 months now and will probably continue using it even though I am pass the hair losing stage.
Hi, I used Nioxin and love it. I started about a month before my surgery. I already had very thin very fine hair so it was a big fear of mine. Anyway I am 7 months out and I did not lose mine.
For me it was three days clear liquid.
Hi, I was one month shy of my 54th when I got sleeved last Aug it is the best thing I ever have done. I too was self paid and I do not regret a penny of it. I am 7 months out and almost 70lbs down.
Mostly the wait involves insurance requirements most want you on a supervised diet for x amount of time. But even self paid it took about one month to get all the pre op labs, ekg, x ray, scan or...
Pat, How wonderful of you! My husband has been my rock through out my surgery even emptying my yucky drainage bulb twice a week. He andI am sure you too have made all the difference.
Hi Laura, I did not tell too many people beforehand because talking about it just made me too nervous but after the surgery I have been very open about it. I know some have had negative comments but...
Good luck. Sip sip sip and walk walk walk and expect the first week to be rough but know that with each passing day it does get better.
I walk six miles a day with hill 5 days a week. I am 6 1/2 months out and have no problem staying hydrated. I have to take in more protein then most they want me to get at least a 100 grams a day so...
Hi, I liked the Isopure grape and would add Walmart's generic crystal light grape I love sweets. I love the unjury protein and About Time protein drinks. I sometimes make sugar free instant pudding...

Hi, I get terrible nausea with anesthesia I let them know beforehand and they were able to keep it down with meds. I have very fine, very thin hair so hair loss was a big worry for me. I am six and a...
Hi, I am six months out and aside from carbonated drinks I can eat whatever I want. I have tried some diet soda it just was uncomfortable unless totally flat and it made me burp up a storm. I can...
Hi, Some say no to asprin, motrin and advil others say it is okay after six months. I am six months out and have taken asprin and motrin but only after I tried tylenol first. My surgeon said no...
Hi, My surgeon said that if you use the bathroom less then fur times a day you are not getting enough fluids. Liquids especially clear no protein drinks pretty much pass on through your stomach and...
Di, I am sorry about your loss it is never easy no matter how old they are it just isn't enough. I am just getting over a nasty bug after 3 weeks of it. Musinex (sp) DM 12 hour worked great for it...
Hi, I am six months out and I have tried diet soda if it has any carbonation in it its uncomfortable after a sip or two but even without the bubbles it just doesn't appeal to me anymore and I had...
Normally you won't wake up with a tube but if there were any problems during surgery you might have an NG tube.
Nothing. Carbonation is a little troublesome but that's it.
I've got everything crossed that you get over this by Monday. You may want to try airborne and zicam to help speed it up.
