Surgery was 9/1/12 Woke up and was short of breath but knew it was the gas, had a pain lvl of about 2, it was more discomfort from the gas so I got up and went to walking. Now I was 530lbs so they were nervous if I would land on my head so soon after surgery I kinda got a chuckle out of that which hurt like hell lol. (don't laugh that soon lol) The gas will move and the discomfort will fade as for actual pain I only had it at the incision points but not for a week later but that is to be expected,don't be afraid, just keep in mind that whatever you go thru now is worth it to be a normal size again. That is my focus my knees still limit me I can't do much walking yet but it will come. I am 3 weeks post and am down 40lbs as of sunday and today is thurs so who knows what it will be when I weigh again this weekend. Just keep focused on a smaller you and you will do fine we are all here for you. Kevin

My name is Kevin, I had the sleeve done 3 weeks ago by Dr Kelly. I am very pleased doing great so far, still deal with mental hunger (which I expected to be honest). I weighed in for surgery at 530lbs and as of this morning (3 weeks and 1 day post op) am officially 40lbs down. Still run out of gas by noon but getting better last week I was dragging by 10:00 Am. I'm thinking of holding off going on pureed food to keep the accelerated weight loss rolling, any thoughts. Just found this site good luck to everyone.

We just bought one of the Montel Williams health masters for getting veggies when I am able, my family swears by the thing so we will see the blender will even make hot soup from cold veggies lol

I am using Iso 100 by Dymatize nutrition, it has 25G of 1005 whey protein, 0 carbs, 106 cal per scoop no sugars either tastes good too my wife mixes hers with Almond Milk haven't tried that yet. Can be ordered on line I use a bodybuilding site since its cheaper than the official site. I think it was 70.00 for 5 lbs
