I am thrilled to say, that 7 months ago I was suffering terrible pains from the gasses they put in me and vomiting in a Mexican hospital all by myself...for a short span I was miserable! But I still...

You need it to re-enter the USA.

I think you need to make a very conscious effort to eat slower. Make sure you are taking small bites and chewwing it to oblivion, make sure you are putting your fork and knife down while you are...

It's going to be difficult to do much more than clear liquids for even a few days after that. Start slowly adding thicker liquids, Look at trying a protein drink, sipping all the while. I am just now...

I'm glad it's helping! I take a Prilosec daily and if I miss it, my stomach tells me so. You and I are 1 day apart - My loss was 32lb as of today. I try to stay off the scale too often. I wait until...

Honey- My Mom had a total fit about it. We had a big fight. I said she was making it all about her, when it was about me and to stop it. It got pretty bad. I sent her tons of websites to read what...

I stalled for about 3-4 days about a week ago, now I'm back to .5-1lb loss a day. Stay off the scale for at least 4 days and then see.

I "conversed" with Dr. Almanza. In English. He does speak English, he just is not fluent, as I speak Spanish, but I am not fluent.

Good Morning, The first 2 weeks are hard, the 3rd week, is still hard because you are introducing things into a stomach that is still healing (and will be for quite some time) I still can't eat a...

It will get better. It's getting better for me with each passing day.

I have the blue kind and it's pallatable and I love how much proteins you get in 16z!! Nectar for me all the way!

I live on an Island and we get the most delicious fish, but I haven;t had any...until today. My daughter went to our local fish market and only needed to buy 1 snapper filet. LOL- A usual stop there...

Hi- I am 2 days further than you and I can't do "real food" like your talking about. I can handle avocado, pate', eggs, yogurt, a little corned beef hash well chewed and eaten very slowly in small...

I'd been dieting for over a month (not prescribed, just me doing it) so when that "last supper' week came, I did try to eat all I wouldn't be able to eat, but found myself not able to enjoy them much...

I found hummus. Also refried beans.

He has a terrific body, said he lost 85 lbs!!

Think...that's great for you. It's not easy for others to do these things by themselves and it really isn't 100% clear how you will feel and deal with life right after being sleeved. Everyone is...

ok,well part of the blessing of the sleeve is sheddig extra unwannted unhealthy weight. It seems you are just about to go double time and that's OK. The recovery for the sleeve after you are released...
