Congrats! It sounds like your recovery is going smooth! You'll feel like your old self in no time.

Love the cut! And you're looking great!

Sounds like you're doing pretty good! Yeah the 1st few days are frustrating to say the least. Daytime TV really doesn't help much!

Keep it up! It's worth it in the end!

lol Every time I hit a stall that is now the 1st thing I analyze...the poop situation and I think about my liquids. Every time that's what I need to fi.
This last stall has lasted a couple of weeks...

I was in the recliner for 2 nights then moved to the bed. Seth has the proper lifting in his post. I learned that one after my hysterectomy....I never had a problem.

No problems with the toilet...

Sadly you're the only who will know the answer to what will sit well with you. Don't be afraid to try different liquids.

You've got this! You can do it!

So glad you found what worked for you! I know you've been frustrated.

Good for you and way to rock that sleeve!

I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to REAL spicy foods anyway but I did try a bite of nachos with a jalapeno in the scoop. It was ok but I didn't want to push it with another.

I found a all natural supplement at Walgreens that I've added to my daily vitamins. Seems to work well.

Since I was out only 4 days, I took vacation time.

I know how you're feeling...but it's probably a combination of head hunger and gas. Your new stomach is angry and gurgling.....I was told to take Prilozec 2x a day for the 1st three months. It made...

That sad to hear. I haven't had any problems with Mexican food or cheese at all. Refried beans/pinto beans/black beans and cheese are a wonderful source of protein. I do add low fat cheese those....

Welcome...so far so good! Just take your time and look around a bit. The search function will be a big help. It's at the top of the page right under the skinny girl with the tape measure.

My doc says no alcohol at all. That's one rule I choose not to follow because I don't agree with it.

I'm right at 4 weeks out and have had a drink or two. Instead of Captain and coke, I've had...

I brought comfy sleep pants with me and wore them from the time I got up to pee the 1st time until I left. It didn't interfere with anything.

I brought a big flowy sundress type to wear home. ...

That's great news! It will be here before you know it!

Yay for you! I wish you a smooth surgery and an easy recovery!

Isopure is another I water down. While they aren't my favorite, watered down I can tolorate them.

This too shall pass...lol

I skipped the pureed stage. I couldn't wrap my head around doing that to perfectly good food. I stuck to cottage cheese, fish and yogurt. Then baby stepped into real...

Of the protein broths....Unjury is by far my favorite.

I was weighed at my pre-op appointment just 5 days before surgery. I remember them asking me after the surgery if I remembered what my pre-op weight was. I figured they should have that in their...

The sample kit is $20. It includes a sample of every flavor and a shaker bottle.

Awesome job working the sleeve!
