Hi all! Sleeved 8/5/2015, down exactly 100 pounds (yay!)

I purchased a 500 count of Kirkland B-Complex vitamins at Costco the other day (500 pills for $14.99? Sign me up!). I've been taking them with my nightly meds for two days now, and I noti

Hey all! My husband came up with a new way to drink protein drinks which I thought was ingenious. My husband found some Maxwell House Iced Coffee drink mix (it's in a little squeezy bottle, like Mio) and mixed it into my Vanilla protein shake--it was D

I've been feeling a bit sick since yesterday. Yesterday morning, I had awful diarrhea and felt queasy for most of the morning, but didn't vomit. Yesterday afternoon, I had some almonds as a snack and shortly after (20 minutes or so) I started getting a

One year ago today, I was in the midst of my mandated pre-op diet. I was counting down the days until I could schedule my surgery, anxious to hear from the insurance company that I was approved. I ...

I recently started taking Ursodiol and have noticed a few things--I wanted your guys' input to see if any of you have experienced the same things.

1) I've noticed in increase in discomfort--I'm having a lot of cramping resulting in tenesmus. It

morning everyone! 12 weeks out from VSG with a question. The last few days I've been feeling under the weather--cold symptoms, sour stomach yesterday (was only able to eat small amount of soup and tea, and even then, I didn't feel great). I took a half

Hi all! 9 weeks out from VSG and loving life. Weird question: we all have our days where we don't really feel like eating, but know we have to. I just don't have a taste for any of the options around my office. Does anyone else get that feeling occasio

Morning everyone! I'm 22 days out (yay!) and have been experiencing a general feeling of malaise for the past few days. I'm not running a fever, coughing, sneezing, etc, but I'm very, very tired and have been having occasional bouts of nausea (although

Hi All!

Quick question. I know we're not supposed to drink for 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after a meal. Does the same rule apply to protein drinks? Technically, they're liquid, but I feel like if I drink after, I'll wash the protein out of

As I'm sure you know by now, I was sleeved on 8/5. I'm sticking to the diet that my nutritionist gave me and am on the 'pureed food' stage. I am eating foods on the list, but I find that I don't get the "full" feeling everyone talks about. Is that beca

Hi all, 

When I was sleeved on 8/5, they tried to put an IV on the back of my left hand for the anesthesia and stuff. Unfortunately, they weren't able to get the vein there and switched it to my right hand, down on the side of my wrist, where t

Hi all! Sleeved on 8/5, recovering very nicely up until last night.

I was all ready to go back to work and have a fabulous, pain-free day...and then, last night, my allergies kicked in and I sneezed 4 times in a row. Now, my intra-muscular sutu

How soon after surgery did your spouse come back to bed with you (assuming they left to give you room to stretch out)? I'm trying to convince my husband that, at a week out, he can come back to bed and I'll be fine, but he's worried he's going to roll

Good morning, all! I had my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on Wednesday, so I figured now would be a good time to update everyone. 

First off, thank you to everyone who has been showering me with love and encouragement--you've made this entire pro
