I haven't had the runny nose but do get this "bubble" that is like a phlegm bubble. Once I get to that point I know I need to stop or will vomit ( which has been happening A LOT lately). After 2...

I could have gone back the following week but took a month off - until after my 4 week appointment. It was great to get into an exercise routine and to concentrate on getting protein in. Good luck.

Surgery date was April 29th, so just about 2 months out. The last couple of weeks I have been really sick after eating pretty much anything. It doesn't seem to matter how slow, the amount (2 - 3...

Congrats

I was sleeved on the same date (4/29) and can take bigger sips but by no means can gulp any fluids. I noticed that I am taking bigger mouthfuls but seems to take a bit to get it down. Just remember...

I also take the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews (raspberry and caramel are my favorites). I take 2 of them 3 times a day. I also take 2 chewable centrum multivit tablets 2 times a day. I...

congrats and welcome to the sleeved side

I received the card while in the hospital. It asks that I be allowed to order off the children's menu. We are going out of town in a week and a half so can't wait to see if people do honor it.

I have been walking every day even if for a mile or so....at least it is exercise. Have been trying to do the Wii Fit or just dance on the wii.

I had mine on the 29th also Neeker. I am feeling EXACTLY what you are feeling. The gas x strips do help. I have the most of the discomfort when eating and drinking. A friend that had it done...

I had my sleeve on the 29th and to this moment still having ungodly pain in my upper gastric region. It is mainly when I eat / drink. Is this the "full feeling" that is telling me to stop? or could...

Was sleeved on Monday and home by noon on Wednesday.

Well I am now on the sleeved side. WOOHOO. Have been up walking numerous times since surgery. The pain in my upper gastric region hurts like hell but hey.....It will get better. Also have had a...

you all are lucky getting some actual food. I am on the 2 week shrinking diet and can only have.....protein shakes, greek yogurt, broth, creamed soups that are low fat, sf jello and pudding. I am...

but what about in the 2 week before surgery diet?

I am on my 2 week liquid diet - which consists of protein shakes, sugar free pudding, sugar free jello, creamed soups, yogurt......was just wondering...... why can't you have the egg beaters (liquid...

I also started the 14 day liquid diet today. I did good for breakfast and lunch. Supper I had 1/2 a can of cream of chicken soup. Went for a 2 mile walk.....got home and was STARVED. I ended up...

I am starting my 2 week liquid diet on Monday, April 15th. I noticed on the pre-op paperwork that my surgeon will not do surgery if you maintain your weight or do not lose any......I was...

I started the process in February and am getting sleeved on April 29th. Wasn't too bad of a process. Start my liquid diet on Monday...

I have found that Quest protein powder is the best....comes in 4 flavors - Chocolate, vanilla, banana and chocolate/peanut butter. If mixed with skim milk you get 21 grams of protein from the powder...

I went for my PAT today. What a LONG process....including a written test. Now have to see my cardiologist before April 29th - my surgery date. I am SOOOO nervous about the liquid diet...not being...

Thanks. Just got mine ordered also.

Good luck. April 29th is my day also. I am with you on being stoked but also very nervous. Mine will be done in Sayre, PA. Doctor is great. Again, good luck and God bless.

I just got my surgery date - April 29th. Did anyone else - after getting their surgery date - want to go and have last meals???? I really am craving a hoagie from Sheetz, a fish sandwich from...

My surgeon requires one so he can look at your anatomy and make sure things are ok....no hernias, GERD, etc. I had one and everything was fine.....Good luck.
