Hey no prob feel free to ask anything. Milk huh? I was told no more milk ever again only yogurts, cheese, and cottage cheeses and of course 1500mg of calcium daily. But everyone is different so are what our doctors tell us. I tried to take a sip of skim milk and it made me sick so that's a big help for me because I loved milk. But I haven't been able to drink coffee either and I used to all the time doesn't smell or taste good. I even have perfume I can't stand to wear any more senses have definitely heightened.

My 1st week was hard I was also very swollen and had a lot of air yet inside the doc said. I weighed 10lbs more my 1st week than I did the day of my surgery. I threw up a lot at first in the hospital was there for 3 days. They kept trying to get me to drink an extremely sweet protein shake that my stomach wanted nothing to do with. I was OK with sipping water but learning to keep a water bottle with you at all times or crystal light is key in keeping hydrated that's so important even if your not thirsty sip not drink sip it. Different flavors of crystal light might keep you away from the sorbet or sugar free popsicles...My second week I started losing 2 to 3 lbs a day basically losing the air and swelling weight, 3rd and forth weeks slowed down to about a pound a day. This is my 5th week and it,s about the same with 2 days where I had lost nothing.

Good luck! It was a lil harder at 1st does seem to be getting much easier I'm a newbie too just a month out

Thanks so much. I feel really good now, except I'm starving! See you on the sleeved side!
