I'm taking off two weeks. I'm really glad I did that. A lot of people go back sooner, but I'm 9 days post op, and NOT at all ready to go back. I'm not in pain or anything, but mentally I'm not ready. I'm having a hard time with the post op diet being around my family that is eating. That has been very hard. Dr. Barker wants 3 week liquid. I think most people on here only have a week or two. I want to do what he thinks is best. It is tough though!

When did you say your sleeve is again?

Hi there! Dr. Barker is awesome!!! His staff is amazing!!! They are all sooo nice and very helpful. His head nurse, Kevin, had the sleeve done. Also, Dr. T's wife had it. Keep me posted on your progress!!!

Sooo glad you are doing great!!!! You have a wonderful attitude!!! Won't be long and we can up all of our update pics on here!!! Take care!!

Hey Lil red, What vitamins are you taking right now?

Hey girl! Been thinking of you! How are you feeling?

You are sooo lucky that your not hungry!!! I'm having such a hard time with liquids!!! I'll be thrilled to eat soft foods!!! My DR. wants 3 weeks after liquids!!! UGH! Glad you are doing good!!!!

Best of luck to you! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Check in as soon as you are up to it!!!

I'm getting better each day. The first couple of days for me were kinda rough, but everyone is so different!!! Don't worry you will do great!!! Take care!!!

Hi there! I saw on "two steps back" post that you are 6 days out and feel the exact same way I do!!!! Today I am 6 days also. It helps to know I'm not alone! It also helps to know that things are going to get better!!! Hopefully very soon!!! Keep in touch!!!

Hey girl! I just read your post and wanted to let you know I am feeling the SAME way!! Today is 6 days for me. I am having big time buyers remorse! I'm praying for you & hope we will both be better very soon!!! Keep in touch!!!

I'm doing ok. I'm just soo blah! I want to feel like myself again. I don't have any energy and really don't feel like being around anyone, That is sooooo not me!!! I go to my one week tomorrow and I'm excited to see what I have lost. Thanks for the lift! I needed it!!!!

We took the pain ball out Mon. morning. I was kinda worried about that, but it was no problem at all!!!

Do you know what time the support group starts? I would really like to go to that!!!

P.S. That is AWESOME on your weight loss!!! Sooooo proud for you!!!!!!

you will never make it, and it does pass. I'm reading all I can to get ideas. It helps soo much having people to talk to. People that UNDERSTAND!!!!!!! Thank you

Thank you sooo much!! i feel better now! Funny at the time you think

So good to know about the shower! I got home Sun. afternoon.

Today has been my best day, but still not anywhere close to normal. I'm starting to get kinda emotional. I did really good on the liquid the week before, but it seems soooo much harder now! Evey night someone is bringing food for my family, and I just sit and smell it, and can't do a thing about it!! I just keep telling myself that its a little over 2 weeks and I'll start on soft foods. I'm sooo sick of protein. I really didn't think that was going to be a problem, but now I can't stand any of it.

Need prayers!! Thanks!!!

Hey Girl! WOW! What a ride! It has been a crazy 5 days! Today I feel A LOT BETTER! They scheduled my post op on Thurs. Wanted to ask you what all do they do at that appointment and when is the next time I'll have to go back? Thanks!! Kim
