Topic: RE: HI MY SEXIES!!!
I doing great too. Saw my pcp today and my blood work is looking really good already.
I also hit Onderland today - WOOT!
I can also eat almost anything. I'm Lactose intolerant now. I can still eat Greek yogurt but only in the morning. Everything else is good.
I start a regular dense protein diet on Saturday.
I have to say I am VERY happy with this decision. Man, it wasn't easy at first. Now it's awesome.

Topic: HI MY SEXIES!!!
So how are all of you doing??? It is Mid-Nov and ALL of us are sleeved up!!
I am doing great... maybe too good! I haven't found anything I can't eat yet!! I have to be really careful about this because of obvious reasons. I am sticking to mostly protein and still drinking 1 shake a day (I use Premier from Costco - 30g each!). This week I started loggin my food and exercise on MyFitnessPal.com It is an awesome website - I LOVE IT. CHeck it out if you haven't already.
Well I wish all of you the very best in this new life of ours! Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing ;-)

HA! The drinking is crazy for me too. I used to gulp down like half a glas of milk.. I did it by accident the other day and it was like flushing a toilet.. I could feel the milk turning in my stomach.. and it taking so long to drink is crazy! Good luck to you !

Topic: RE: I think I'm the first leak for this group,
Wow, how awful. I wondered what would happen if we got a leak, and how would we know. I guess our bodies would let us know like yours did.
Sorry for your rough start. Here's to hoping that it's smooth sailing here of out, and that you'll feel normal again soon. I pray your health is restored. Glad you're on liquids now.

Topic: RE: Where are my Oct 31 sleeve borthers and sisters?
I had mine Nov 3rd.. I'm still mainly on liquids.. I think I would be fine if I had mushies, but they want to make sure that my stomach is cemented closed. I had some soup and applesauce though they weren't quite approved at the time of consumption and I had no problem. My doc also probably is keeping me on it a bit longer because the first time I had a protein drink (though it took me most of the day to almost finish the 8oz, I felt awful and had to go to bed early, slept most of the night and most of the morning.
But overall I feel GREAT too! I really feel blessed as well. I couldn't be happier with this whole recovery. It's been much better than I expected. I'm so happy you're doing great as well.
Stay blessed.

Topic: RE: I am really hungry.. in my head
I'm not having that problem so much as of yet, but I did drive past a place that I used to often go to for food that i really enjoyed. And I drove past thinking wow, I can't eat there anymore. I'm sure sometime in the future I'll be able to, but I won't be able to get the same thing,,.... I don't even know what I'd order there. Anyways...
My thing is I really don't know what to do with myself. So much of what I used to do before was going out to eat, or get food. I had take-out all the time. Now my food, (liquids) last me so long. It's a bit strange. Oh, and I can no longer just sit in my house doing nothing. (well at least not for an extended period of time) I have to go and do something. But these are good things.
Hopefully soon your tummy and your head will match up..
Oh, I found this funny today.. Before surgery I could gulp down "a lot" of water or pretty much any liquids quickly.. Now I can't.. but now "a lot" seems to have a different meaning when it comes to liquid. I had an 8 oz bottle of water, and I took what felt like a couple of quick big sips/gulps. But really I only had maybe about 3oz but it felt like a lot. haha.. So I suppose my head is changing.
Don't stop fighting,
