Oh, I loved "The Quiet Man" and Maureen Ohara was in that one! Great flick! I love Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, and so many others.

Hi Luvlvnlyfe! I can so relate to the nervousness you are experiencing! It's a major surgery, but it's also very common and the risks are one in thousands. The benefits will make you very happy you had the surgery in the long run, I'm sure of it! Get your psych eval done ... it's worth it. I...

Hi Kari I'm with you I can't stand the sweetness of Crystal light ... blech! I finally bought some decaf tea and made iced tea unsweetened only with real lemon ... very good. I have to have it iced cold though. Not into the room temps for my drinks.

Different doctors give different eating instructions and the pureed part of the diet seems to be most common with the RNY patients. I had the sleeve and never had to eat pureed, and only had two days NPO (nothing by mouth) then two days clear liquids, then went to Phase 3 ... small amounts of...

Keep up the great work, Ang!! Stay positive and keep posting :D

I had mixed feelings for the first couple of weeks, but now things are looking up. I can't say whether or not I would do it again because I'm only a few weeks out ... but don't second guess yourself! Do it!:o

I've been switching between most of those you mentioned fkrebs ... I'm actually feeling much better now than I was a couple days ago! Thanks for responding!

Sounds like you're doing great, mygirl! So far, so good! Good luck!

Everyone is different, hon, but yes ... if you're feeling okay and things are progressing as they should be, your weight loss is great! You have a significant amount to release, and it's okay to celebrate your first victory! Congratulations! ;)

PS Laurie: I have found that journaling my feelings and thoughts during the process has been helping me immensely. Just a thought ;)

I think perhaps the reason you may be feeling the hunger in your throat is significant. Our throat area is our 'voice' ... do you have difficulty speaking your truths for fear of hurting others? It's a common problem among many women. We were raised to 'grin and bear it' rather than to show...

Thank you for the suggestions! :cool:

Thanks for the suggestions and support :)

I have considered allowing it to go flat, but it doesn't appeal to me. I guess I'll continue with the water, decaf teas, and lemons (a great idea, by the way! I went out and bought six of them yesterday! LOL) I used to love fresh squeezed lemonade with a touch of stevia for sweetener. I may try...

Greetings! I had the sleeve on Feb. 1st. The first couple days were NPO with ice chips. The next two days were clear liquids. After that, you begin with the soft proteins. The eating part has not been difficult at all. It's getting the fluids in that's difficult. A few of the others who had the...

Greetings all! Just introducing myself for now. Hoping there are other sleeve gastrectomy people whom I can chat with eventually. I'm having a really difficult time getting all the fluids in, because I'm usually nauseous and/or nothing tastes like it used to. Not even water! Being a nurse, I...

First, I want to congratulate you on your magnificent loss of excess fat! That is quite an accomplishment!! Your health, your heart, and your other organs are thanking you, for sure!!! I am only 2 weeks post op, and even though I'm an R.N., I do not have much knowledge of bariatric surgery...
