Are you doing? I'm thinking of joining a fitness club here. Its small but they do have a pool and offer yoga. What has been successful for you?

Had my 2 week check up today. Not only did I not lose...but I GAINED 4 LBS!!!! what on earth, how can this be? I am not eating much but do get my protein and water in. This is beyond discouraging. I need a new outlook, the mind is a powerful thing. How do I get this weight dropping?

Well I lost 15 preop, 3 post op, and now at two weeks out I've been stalled for a week

Wow that's a long time on liquids! I am two weeks out and have been on full liquids since my hospital stay. I was supposed to switch to mushies tomorrow but am not due to some lingering pain. Its at least one more week of liquid for me. My guess is that some doctors are extra cautious. Better to be safe than sorry I guess....

Intime is that including your preop diet?

on your computer google "how gastric sleeve is performed" that should give you the info you're looking for

I had my sleeve two weeks ago. I went for my two week check up today and actually GAINED four pounds from what I weighed a few days after surgery. Huge bummer. I am just praying to God that things pick up. Be greatful for your loss, I am only down 16 now, 15 of those lost on the preop diet. It will continue to come off.

I'm praying for you...

False alarm. One more week of liquids is what my Dr. decided. Oh well.....

I just had my 2 week appt and gained 4 lbs. Very unnerving....

Hmmmm.....how about appendectomy, or gall bladder out, or lysis of adhesions, or a bowel obstruction. All abdominal surgeries that I see at work all the time. Hope this helps!

What Are your favorite mushies?

How was it?

I am11 days out. This didn't start until 4 days ago. ANYTHING that I drink (hot, cold, warm, room temp) my tummy cramps. Its like swallow, wait a couple seconds...then BAM CRAMPS!!!! What gives????

Not constipated. And Yes I'm on prilosec.

I'm 11 days out and haven't lost an ounce....

P.s. I haven't lost a stitch of weight

I am also a nurse. I am 11 days post op. I am having some awful anxiety issues. I am nowhere near my calorie or fluid intake either. I will be returning to work soon too. I also work 12 hour shifts and I'm really nervous about it. How old Are you? Maybe we can buddy up and work together on this? I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks for these words...

I do not regret having the sleeve over RXY. In speaking to my primary MD, I feel It is the best choice out there. I didn't want to reroute my intestines. Nor was I interested in the low weight loss and issues that come with the band.

I want to sprinkle some cheese into my soup. I am 10 days post op.

First off let me say I am a nurse AND a hypochondriac. I probably know more that I should for my own good.... I had my sleeve done on 8/26. I thought I had thought through this completely. But now I am a nervous wreck. I can't eat, can't sleep, and don't want to go out of my house. I'm so scared. Scared that I made a terrible choice. Why didn't I diet and do this instead Of taking out part of a perfectly good body. I shudder thinking of the fact that I'm always going to have to worry about long term side effects. I did this too hastily and now I regret it. One day I was normal, the next I am completely different from all of those around me. I worry that by defacing my body I have shortened my life. Please help me. Tell me If you had these feelings and how You have dealt with them.....

I am 10 days out post op. Wondering if I could melt some cheese on my soup for added nutrition??? Having a hard time getting on my calories.

You look beautiful
