Ok I am wondering about how the weight thing works? I am doing way better on getting alot of my protein in me and tommorrow is my first day for solid foods like eggs and such. I was wondering if it helps the weight come off better if u get your recommended amount of protein in? Does it hurt the weight coming off if ur not getting the right amount? was just curios about that? so far lost about 16 lbs in 13 days. I hope that is good. I have heard of others with like 20 and 30 lbs taken off in thier 2 weeks so I wasn't sure.

ty all for the advice

Thank you all and of course my wonderful sis!!! Today is Thanksgiving day and after reading all of your supports and warm messages it makes me feel alot better. And alot of the advice has opened my eyes and I do realize all the things yall are saying. And I know I will still have a few more breakdowns but I will be ok. Also tommorrow I am headed back to the gym to the treadmill lol and gonna start me a small routine to get me going and can;t wait for my month out to start a few little weights. Gonna try to get myself in a better frame of mind. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving !!! ty again for the advice and warm messages..

I am 2 days post op and my stomach hurts I can't turn over to sleep on side but I guess I am handling that ok but what I am concerned is that I can't seem to get enough of the protien in.. I am drinking the chicken broth and alot of Water.. is that ok? I know after 3 days i don't have to be on that whey crap anymore, I also have some sharp pains that likerise up then disappear? not sure what that is about. But for the most part i am doing ok. Just ready to be on the shakes. Also taking meds by liquid...ewww lol I have more sympathy for my kids now when i give them thier liquid meds lol... Hope someone has a bit of advice

ty all for the help and advice

My doctor sent me home with liquid pain meds but my nasuea meds was pill form so I assume as long as they are real small it would be ok

ty all for the help, today is day three and I have been eating the Jello and broth, tommorrow i should be starting the shakes and I hope that goes well and I can get in more of my protien. Hopefully the vanilla Cake Batter flavor is good lol I have been making sure to drink tons of Water and slip in some protien, it sure takes alot of getting used to. Though if i could just sleep on my side it wouldnt be so bad lol. It wont be long now I know.

Well me and my sister both came out of surgery beautifully! It takes some getting used to. Every time u drnk it feels weird or like air comes up while drink goes down, not really pain but almost, hard to explain. But I can't wait till I am home in my bed resting. PIP, I am praying ur surgery goes well and any others that are today.

Ty all we are both in car and on way home! Can't wait for my own bed and family.

You look absolutely GORGEOUS! Keep up the good work, I am at hospital and hope to be going home today and start my journey!

My surgery is this Monday and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for post-op? I am worried about the diet most of all, just making sure i sip the right amount and getting enough protien in. So any tips would be apreciated. I have been reading everyones stories and they make it alot easier to cope with some of the nervousness but anything can help lol. Will be somewhat difficult with waking up day after surgery getting kids ready for school and animals fed, hubby wont be able to stay home to help as much since we have Disney World in March to go to and He needs all his vacation days, BUT i have seen lots have even gone back to work a few days after surgery. So hopefully all will go well. Thanks in advanced for any tips shared. I am sooo excited/nervous to get my sleeve started in just a few days, and to see the pounds come off and my energy boost up. I am always just tired feeling and never want to go out and enjoy the world.

Where do i put the ticker code in at? I cannot seem to find where i put it. Hope someone can help
