I was sleeved October 30th my 1st surgery ever turned into 4 it was a nightmare from hell. I was discharged the evening of October 31st from the moment I was discharged until I had returned to the hospital on November 7th I was extremely weak and tired all the time I had no energy whatsoever if I had to go out I would have to use the motorized wheelchairs at the stores I couldn't stand for long without feeling lightheaded and dizzy. I didn't feel hungry at all so I wasn't eating or drinking much. As for pain I didn't have any pain at all that related to the leak my stomach was a little sore from surgery and that's all I felt from the surgery. I returned to the hospital finally on November 7th as I thought I was dehydrated the ER had done a cat scan which had shown a leak. I was admitted and rushed back into surgery the next morning which scared me to death and to find out I was the 1st sleeve leak in Massachusetts and the surgeon personally tells me they have been worried about a leak since last year when they first started sleeves. I stayed in the hospital for 9 long days being NPO and on TPN (IV Nutrition ) I went crazy and I was released on November 16th and had to go home with a visiting nurse to monitor my BP and Pulse and my drains. Well the drains were draining way to much so I returned back in the hospital November 19 and back into surgery in the morning on November 20th which the surgeon decided to put a stent in to bypass the stomach in hoping to seal the leak by having nothing touching the stomach area. When I woke up from surgery I just wanted to die I was extremely nauseous 1st time in my life and so for the next 3 days I was out of it I slept all day every day still felt just as bad as I was out of surgery I was on 3 different meds for being nauseous. I finally had gone home November 23rd and still felt the same at home constantly weak tired and no energy and constantly puking every time I ate from that damn stent I went back into surgery December 20th to remove the stent and the surgeon noticed there was still a leak so he cortarized it and I went home December 24th and been fine ever since that was my Xmas present from my surgeon I say. My doc says my case was abnormal as leaks are very painful but I never experienced any pain at all.

Has anyone had the feeling where they can't eat solid food. All of a sudden this past week I can't eat I take one bite and have the fullness feeling. But I can drink no problem and eat soft foods like ice cream no problem. I have a follow up on Wednesday should I be seen sooner should I be worried??

Yes it was my 1st surgery I was nervous/scared it was my 2nd time around as I chickened out the year before. Just try and remember the positive outcomes of doing this that's what helped me.

Are we supposed to be doing weight training the same day as cardio? Or should it be weights one day and cardio the next day??

I have to agree the premier protein chocolate is the best I just tried it a few days ago I can only find it at Sam's club. After struggling with all the different shakes out there that I was wasting my money on and didn't enjoy them Premier is definitely the best
