I am 29 sleeved on 6/25 starting weight was 244 lost 17lbs Pre op and currently weigh about 215 I am looking for someone to share my experiences with while on this incredible journey. I am 5'1 and live in NY

I was glued on the 25th but the glue is starting to peel is that normal? Should I be worried?

I'm not feeling so good today, I was sleeved on Monday so this is my 4th day out and my first full day at home. I tried to do a little walking on my treadmill which went ok but was super boring going 1mph I tried eating some apple sauce so I could take one of my meds but I threw up a little. Besides that I have a lot of pain in my shoulders from the gas. Tomorrow will be a better day.

We are having similar experiences I am also in the hospital hoping to be released this afternoon. I am feeling a little better now because I just got back from taking a walk to try to release some of the gas pain. My itching has subsided for the most part and I can't wait to go home. Hope you feel better.

As I reflect on the past few months I really believe this was the best choice for me. I am checked in at the hospital and changed and I know by the grace of God everything will be fine. I wish everyone being sleeved today a safe surgery and speedy recovery. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers everything went well so far I am waiting to see the sergon for a official update. I am not in too much pain but I a extremely tired, I can barley stay awake long enough to type this message.

I am trying to figure out how many days I will need to take off from work to recover from the surgery. I don't do any lifting at work but I do have to drive about an hour each way and interact with several customers throughout the day. How much time did you take off? How did you feel when you returned? I hear many people say that they have very low energy and are too tired to make it through the day. Any recommendations

My surgery is scheduled for June 25th and I am super excited...I'm just not sure what to pack for the hospital, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use the GNC lean 25g meal replacement with 1/2 cup of yogurt, Ice, and a little fruit blended together it tast great and keeps me fill for about 4-6 hours

You might want to consider seeing a psychologist like any other addiction you may need additional assistance with this...stay encouraged and focused

I also work in a very unsupportive setting and will not be telling anyone. I am scheduled for 6/25 and I am just taking vacation. I have been on the liquid diet for the past two weeks and will continue after surgery. I plan to tell everyone I am on the same liquid diet that Chaka chan is on lol

June 25th at Lawerance hospital in NY...,I'm super excited

It might just be gas....try some gasex

Don't get discouraged when I started the program I weighed 238 after meeting with the nut and following her diet I actually gained 5lbs and decided to start the liquid diet. Since then I have lost 7lbs. I recommend starting the liquid diet even if not ever day do it 3x a week and you should definitely add some physical activity into your daily routine...good luck!

Thanks for the advice I will definitely arrange to have someone drive me around, how long do you think I will be unable to drive?

When I gave birth to my son via csection I was up and about after about 5-6 days so I am guessing the recovery will be similar. I don't want to take off more time then I need because I am using vacation days not sick days since I am not telling anyone at work about my surgery. Has anyone had a csection how do the recovery times compare?

Hello All, I am pre opt and my medical team has been encouraging me to workout/walk at least 4 hours per week. For some reason I just can't seem to get the drive/energy or desire to do anything. I read everywhere about how important it is to start a workout plan before surgery but my mind just won't do it. I have a treadmill and a stationary bike at home but rarely use them. Any suggestions or advice on what I can do to get going? Did anyone not workout before surgery and start after surgery? I think part of the problem is my lack of time I work 5 days a week 12 hours a day and I am a single mom with a 3 year old

Thanks for the encouragement I woke up early this morning and just finished walking for 30 minutes and I feel good about that

I have a huge weakness for Chinese Food I can eat it all day long but I know it is something I am going to have to give up after my surgery. Every year for lent I give it up for 40 days so I know it's not impossible however when ever I have a day off from work it is my go to food any suggestions on ways I can deal with this change?

Thanks for your responses I feel much better and I never even thought about the soups as an option for the liquid stage.... Thanks for the suggestion

I am also trying to train myself to east for post surgery, what I have decided to do is eat what I want four days a week and focus on the high protein liquid diet three days a week just so I can get used to the shakes
