612belly: what's gonna happen in January?

Hi! I'm 7 days post-op. Pain is moderate. I don't have much swelling anymore, thank goodness! Have you lost any weight since your surgery? I've only lost 1 pound! I think my body has gone into starvation mode and is hoarding the fat!!

Good luck, everyone! I was sleeved August 21st. I had terrible gas pain in my shoulder the first day. After that, whenever it starts, I know to just get up and walk. So even if you feel achy, WALK!! It really does help!! I still have pain on my left side where all the work was done, but each day it's a little better. What suprised me is that it really hurts to bend down, and to get up off the toilet. Those are my big 'ow's'. Let us know how you all are doing!

I also was sleeve August 21st. Surgeon said Clear liquids only the first week. Tomorrow I can start full liquids. Yeah! I have not yet found a decent sugar free popsical. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I had surgery August 21. NUT has me on 64 oz of clear liquid for a week. Tomorrow I can start full liquids: 64grams of protein & 64 oz of liquid. Then in 3 weeks I can eat very liquid mushy. Surgeon really stressed NO FOODS for 3 weeks. It's worth doing liquids for 3 weeks because a leaky sleeve isn't fun, so giving the staples time to heal is really important. :-)
