I think the excess skin depends on how much you have to lose and how fast you lose it. I had my surgery in September and I have never thrown up yet. If you are continually throwing up after you are...

I have had lots of success in my weight loss with my sleeve. But now I am very flabby in my legs, belly and even upper arms. It is not extra skin. It is just flabby and jiggly! I can tell I need...

I just eat at a pace that is comfortable for me. I don't time anything. If your sleeve tolerates your speed of consumption I wouldn't worry.

I was sleeved about the same time as you and I think I can eat too much at a time. I can eat a good half cup of food when they say I should only be doing 2-3 oz. I only weigh once a week on fridays...

I only took off a week but I have an office job so no physical exersion.

They will do everything they can in the .hospital to help you not be nauseated. The last thing they want is for you to vomit with a newly stapled sromach. I was nauseated at home for the first week...

I've heard everyone talk about these unjury protein shakes and getting free samples. I went to the website but couldn't find anywhere to get them. Maybe I wasn't in the right place. Can anyone tell...

We all struggle with something but sounds like you are doing great so far! For you I shall quote one of my favorite songs..."There's always something tearing you apart..it's always so much longer...

I am only a week out and I am always hurling/hiccuping while I eat and drink and afterwards. I was hoping it was just because I am newly sleeved!

Wow I am jealous! I had my surgery the 18th as well but I am on clear liquids only for the first week. No shakes...no yogurt. Just broth, juice and water. It sucks! Cant wait for some thicker liquids...

Never thought of the make sure I get what I pay for mentality. You bring up a good point there. Probably better pay as I go! Thanks!

Ive already had my surgery as noted in my post. But I don't plan to be miserable denying myself some pleasurable foods for the rest of my life. I had this surgery to improve my life...not exchange...

We are planning a vacation to Cabo in March. The resort offers an all inclusive for $80.00 a day if you buy the whole week. Meals and drinks will be expensive so it is a good deal. Will it be worth...

How did you get any protein in during the clear liquid phase? I cant stomach the ensure clear and no protein in juice. I feel so weak and am getting concerned. I am 4 days out today. I supposedly...

Well you and I are kindred spirits then! I also can handle the pain but the nausea is unbearable! (See my previous posts). Seems my body goes straight to nausea to deal with anything. And this smell...

Does anyone else have a heightened sense of smell since surgery? I can't believe from everything from food to soap to my dogs I can smell everything so sharply now. And not in a good way! Am I just...

Oh I am friending you...I need your enthusiasm! I know my reasons for doing this were important. I am just wanting to feel better. Are you eating/drinking anything other than water? I am just so lost...

My surgeon said the "ideal" weights set by the standards are ridiculously low. You need to be at the weight comfortable for your body and mind.

I would love to be where you are now! I am only a few days out and still feel crappy. One thing that is getting me through is this forum! You people are wonderful! When you are struggling turn to us...

I must be having the breakdown because I cried when I read your post!

I had my surgery on Wednesday. I thought I would be feeling better by now. I am still really nauseated. Allni can take in is water so I dont get dehydration. When will this get better??

Yes I am home. Nothing sounds good from the nausea. Just trying to get my water in. I do feel slightly better today but still nauseated. Hope every day gets better. Please tell me it will!

I had my sleeve yesterday and boy I am not liking recovery. I am constantly nauseated so I cant take any pain meds. I am scared to death to throw up. Can I damage my sleeve? Water is about all I can...

Congratulations! I will be joining you this Wednesday on the sleeved side. We can compare notes! Glad all went well for you...hope mine goes the same!

This is a good idea! I refuse to give up pizza entirely!
