I wouldn't push it. I just had scrambled eggs for dinner tonight and I'm 3 months post op. I can tell you that, while soft, they are super filling and if you had too much, you might get really sick. ...

I also have Aetna and I was sleeved on 03/15/11. When I started thinking about having this surgery, I checked the Aetna website and, while the procedure was covered, at the time, it seemed...
I was sleeved on March 15th! How much have you lost? Me post-op: 24 lbs. Total (pre and post): 46 lbs
How are you doing so far? Any trouble?
Good luck Sarah! I was sleeved on 03/15/11. Love my new smaller tummy! Keep us posted on your progress. Sounds like you have a great doctor.
Welcome! I have two friends that chose the lap band route and both regret their decisions, for different reasons. Plus, I see so many postings on this site from people who had the band surgery only...
LOL, I'll answer to either one. Love your new ticker! Happy to help. :O)

Go to the Ticker Factory and choose the 'Anniversary' ticker. After you've created the design you like, copy the url, then go to your 'User CP' (see top of this page), pick 'edit signature'...
I had similar trouble the first few days after surgery. I wasn't able to get much fluid in at all and when I did, it felt like it wasn't going anywhere. I never had issues with it coming back up...
I really hope you're right about the growling. It's driving me CRAZY!! I really does feel like hunger pains. Looking forward to when I hit the 8-10 week mark. Tomorrow is my 1-month sleever-sary....

I'm so excited for YOU!!!! I think you will find that a lot of your weight-related problems will improve dramatically. I had foot pain all the time and knee pain whenever I had a full day of...
I loathe my scales!! Can I get an amen from anyone? They are either not moving fast enough or not moving at all. I wish there was a gas pedal on my scale so I could step on it and start zooming down...
I'm having almost the exact same symptoms as you are, the grumbling tummy when I eat, the hunger (I'm STARVING and it's not "in my head"). I can actually hear my tummy growling about 20 minutes...
A friend of mine had her surgery a year ago and is 2 lbs away from her goal. She takes a zumba class 3 times a week and tells me that she can down a 16 oz bottle of water, with no trouble. I can't do...
I was just recently sleeved on 03/15, plus, I've had two previous c-sections.....the sleeve is MUCH easier and far less painful than a c-section. There was a little pain right after I woke up in the...
I didn't have any meds for fluid retention after my surgery. They did give me a blood thinner while in the hospital to decrease the risk of blood clots. I did come out of surgery with a drainage...
My only had my sleeve done about a month ago but I can tell you that it's nice not having to worry about getting 'fills' anytime in the future. A friend of mine opted for the lap band a year ago but...
LOVE this website!! Thank you so much for posting the link. I've now got it loaded on my phone too so I can keep track of my food/protein intake no matter where I am. I can already see that this...
My new favorite breakfast is Fage (pronounced: fa-yeh) yogurt. It is the B-O-M-B!! Hopefully they sell it in your area. I can only find it at one grocery store in my neighborhood but it is worth...
Congratulations! I had the hiccups post op....not fun! Thank goodness for pain meds. :O) Gas was with me for about the first 7 days so hang in there. It gets better.
Wishing you a speedy...
Thanks to everyone that responded. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that's still experiencing the hunger pains and losing weight at a slower pace than a lot of the people commenting on this...
Glad to know I'm not the only one "starving". Misery loves company. LOL! Just kidding. Thanks for the pep talk. Wishing you well on your weight loss journey! :O)
I was sleeved on 03/15 and have only lost 14 lbs. I'm following the program but not losing the "pound a day" that others say they are losing. I've been stuck for 4 days, scale hasn't budged. Plus,...
