You look stunning !!!!!! Keep up the good work !!!

New sleeved here - 1 week out today and your truely motivating me !!!!

Your doing so great !!!!!

Already feeling my tastes changing ! A shake I lived before sx I now can't tolerate .

It may not se like it but with this new tool - your body is telling you it's full !

I had that feeling at first . It's just swollen and sore , give it time , take smaller , sips and bites ! It does get better !

Pain was the worst getting in and out of bed . The PCA pain med will help & walk as much as you can . I felt weak and dehydrated & slept alot . At first I couldn't feel any nausea - I've only had some at home about post op day 6 as I changed to full liquids . Gas pains will hurt - but moving will move them . Also use gas-x thin strips . They melt immediately on your tongue and help ! Good luck !!! By day 5 my pain was so good I could try to sleep on my side again . Just sore getting into that position .

Good for you pretty bird . I showered today too ! I was happy , needed my hubby to help dry off and help get dressed but we made it !!!! Was sleeved 3/6 .

Hi there - I too was sleeved on the 6th . I knew the next day I was super dehydrated !!!! After the foley came out I couldn't pee & had no urge . When I did my urine was dark brown . My mouth felt like the Sahara desert !!!! I ate ice chips like crazy . Hardly no nausea , some gas pains ; but I expected them . Finally after begging to be given fluids as I felt so dehydrated my pulse and heart rate went through the roof ! Then they wouldn't let me go home !!! Finally I started passing gas , peeing & by the time I left I'd actually gained weight from all my fluid blouses !!! They may have bariatric beds but it still hurts so bad if your not tall enough to get in them all the way .!!!! I felt my incisions hurt way more than I Remembered my hysterectomy incision . Finally took a shower at home today & washed my hair ! Hard time getting all my protein in as well . Some of the drinks I've tried are terrible . I also used the protein bouillon but added some off reg bouillon for better flavor . My weights finally going down ! For now all I can say is I'm truely not hungry ! Hope the healing continues !!!! Good luck to us all !!!

Enjoy the liquids , as after the surgery you won't even have an appetite for anything ; which is good as you get 1 oz broth and 1 oz jello 3x's a day .

Surgery went well . I got very dehydrated after surgery , my mouth was so dry . They finally started giving my fluids . Then they were concerned my heart rate was too high . So waiting fog if all to blend together !

Thanks . Here for my surgery . I'm excited .

My surgery day is here ! I'm waiting to go in ! This is a life changing event ! I'm do excited !

They have broth with protein also .

You can have the protein shakes ! That will help ! Just like your preop diet !

Day 3 here for me as well . I actually feel better now than I have in weeks !!!! No headaches of nausea here . Just hang in there !!!! Think of the long range goal .... Keep sipping that water , it hydrates you whereas the coffee dehydrates you !!!! I'm aRN to be sleeved 3-6-13 ! Good luck to you ! Hope to hear more of your story here .

I'm a RN of 17 years living 90 min south of Chicago . I've worked ,Med-Surg,ICU,&Outpatient .Im getting sleeved in 2 days !!!3-06-13... So far , third day of clear liquids , doing well !!! Down 8# of fluid !!! Looking so forward to this wonderful tool to help me bring control in my eating habits and return to life !!!!! I'm been missing out as life has been passing me by as I've had some much pain . I also need bilateral knee replacements ! So this weight must come off and stay off !!! Praise God - I feel this is right where I'm too be !!!

You may be scared now , that's perfectly normal with any surgery . I'm an RN who is to bd sleeved 3/6-13 , this Wednesday . While I'm totally psyched I also have those thoughts . But know this ..... If we could lose weight on our own we would have ! Think of this as a tool they are giving us for Lifelong ..... Eating control so we may become healthy. My highest was 321- today on day 3 clear liquids I'm down to 313!!! Together with support here we can do this . I hope to hear more of your story and look forwArd to sharing you mine . My friend and coworker was sleeved 1-10-13 and is down over 31 pounds ! She's eating smaller portions of regular food and doing great !!!! Best of luck !!!
