Happy Friday all yesterday I had my 1 week and 1 day post op! I have been doing wonderful I am down 17 lbs 9 of those pre-op today makes 9 Days post-op I start taking my chewable vitamins and 7 days of Purée food! I’m excited to try a scrambled egg and maybe some Soups but not everything blended excites me at all! 🤪 I’m thankful to have full energy since like day 4 by day 5 I was off pain meds taking my kids to/from school to get out of the house and I have been getting in over 5,000 steps according to my Fitbit! I thought I was going to hate my surgeon on my birthday 11/15 one week post-op but I felt normal even went to the movies! Everyone is different some will struggle with nausea and vomiting I’m thankful I never did others will struggle with having no energy or pain I did the first few days recovery is swelling and hell! [emoji49] Each day does get better! Happy Healing to all November Sleevers!!

Good luck to you both I’m 4 days out but my advice would be to bring some gas x, walk, sip, burp and repeat! Take it easy it gets easier everyday that pasts!

I hear ya. Sippy Sippy Sippy is a little sing song I sing to myself. It gets me through it. Popcicles are worth 3 oz... just a heads up.
Thank you sugar free popsicles has been such a great help I made it to 64oz on day 3!!

Update 3 Days post-op I’ve had zero nausea or vomiting but the first two days was a Fluid struggle I stayed up til almost 3am just to get in 30oz! Today I started early and have 19oz of my min 30 but trying to get closer to 64oz. I can have Protein today so those count for fluid and protein! Good luck all happy healing! The struggle is real!

Great Read! Not sure I could do a full marathon I have ran (3) 1/2 Marathons though.. Will save this article a New York or Boston full marathon race is my ultimate goal! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @LylaLovesCoffee how is your pre-op diet going after a week now? How was giving up coffee for you? I was a huge LOVER of coffee which I didn't even enjoy until about 28 then I became addicted thank God i'm over it and if I choose to add it later on it's allowed after 8 weeks I think need to re-read my nutrition notes but not sure I even want it. Maybe a single cup with splenda and Protein Powder?

@babyfat23 I tried to have a small cup of coffee and the headache didn't go away even when I gave in. My body wanted a morning coffee and was not having it .. lol.. Day 2 the headaches gone I got lots of rest and I'm so tired the energy is gone I guess I'm prepping for how I will feel post-op??

OHMG... Caffeine withdrawals are no joke.. I usually can quit coffee cold turkey and have no problems not today. Today is pre-op day 1 and I decided to ween myself off caffeine as well so that I won't have withdrawals after surgery.. Wow I literally have had a headache since I woke up this morning hour #8 have tried Tylenol extra strength to no real help.. Sorry all just needed to vent!! My current mood....

November 8th for me I'm in Seattle, WA! This is a Revision had my lap band removed on Sept 13th and now waiting to be sleeved. Good luck all!

Welcome Ashley I have done great with my Lap Band & MS I have lost about 66lbs no new flare ups however I believe my band gets a little tighter with the stress of the disease! Good luck to you and I wish you the best!! Hugs!!

Too tight again some of us have sensitive bands maybe just a slight unfill will help?? Best wishes

Oh no @@Susysleever it is one of those things that's hard to diagnose because other Neuro diseases can display the same symptoms. Did you have a spinal tap to have them test your spinal Fluid? That was the final determining test for me!! I am always tired and weak but the weight loss has helped my energy level immensely. Sorry to hear about your vision and night driving problems that sucks badly.. Hopefully once you’re diagnosed and start treatment therapy you will notice differences. #prayers

That's all so amazing, congrats! I just met with my team today, 1 week 1 day post op. Looking forward go moving up in this journey with puréed starting on Thanksgiving!
Yay that’s great Thanksgiving starts my soft mushy foods so I already have my meal planned mashed potatoes or a small sweet potatoes, turkey blended in gravy and dressing and maybe a bite of pie hours later! Going to take it slow and nibble my small plate all day! Good luck!
