Whoot Whoot!

how many calories are you taking in daily?

Howdy, sleeved on election day, consider myself doing very well. Dr prescribed full liquids but I have had mashed potatoes twice and only a tablespoon or so. The weight is dropping off....its insane. I am not eating enough calories, about 400-500 and getting anywhere from 50-70 grams of Protein. Drinking about 55-60 oz of Water. I have been off pain meds of 2 full days. Headaches are gone, walking like a mad women, even went to a huge craft show at the local high school. Cooking and light cleaning.....thinking of returning to work later this week. I do still have pain at the larger incision site. Just today I noticed some scabbing came off and I have a small raw area...cleaned it good and covered it up. lets compare..... Kim

if so, what do you mix it with, I hear its vile tasting.

Hi, I am an Election Day Sleever, I think I am doing well. I have been walking everyday, cleaning and cooking. Pain is minimal...went to a huge craft show 2 days ago..going to the mall today. Getting in 50-60 oz of water, I know I need more. yesterday close to 100 grams of protein, I mix it in everything plus Isopure protein water (reason I am going to the mall) I do get hunger pangs.....I cant wait to eat a huge spoon full of pasta and have a glass of wine.

This is the exact truth! You are in starvation mode....your body is holding on to your fat, your body is afraid it wont get anymore food......EAT WOMEN!!!!!! JUST eat the right stuff.........................

Sweet! Amazing isnt it......3 more lbs and I can say the same...

Awesome! Im an Election Day Sleever...........Praying for a speedy recovery!

celebrate ens and or gummy chews, b12 drps calcium chews.....need to get some biotin!

Keep your chin up! Keep up your protein!

Yes, unjury hands down has been excellent. The chicken soup saved me during the pre op diet. All I eat right now is yogurt and pudding and crm of wheat. What did you eat at stage 2-full liquids? Any Ideas for me...... I feel like I could return to work.......I know I shouldnt but I could. Isnt Dr Carlin awesome? He is so reassuring and kind. I really like him and his staff. What kind of activities are you doing? How much walking? It was easy over the weekend, it was so warm, but know with this freezing weather I am forced to bundle up or go in the basement on the treadmill...... Well, have a wonderful day, I am thinking of pulling out some Christmas decor and starting that.....I got bit by the Christmas Season bug at the craft show I went to the other day. Kim

Hey how are you, you went in just before me right??? I was sleeved on election day. How are you doing? are you on pureed yet? talk to me sista!

just curious........

Howdy postop day 5 not including day of surgery. Feel like i am doing great. Walking shopping...just started full liq. Struggling with h2o and Protein but that is par for the course.......I feel good. Off pain meds now for 24 hours. Appetite is back things look good and I cant wait for puree s. And a glass of wine........I do havs some stomach pain when eating and drinking. Nurse says I am drinking too much air and to fast......um ok...just still gassy too. So gald its over. The first 3 days were hell.

The protein in the hosp was discusting.....I am liking Isopure Water and my chocolate pudding mixed with choc unjury.... up to 70 grams of pro and cojld always drink more water. Off narcs and walking and out shopping like a fool. Hope everytjing stays on track.

I am scheduled for surgery November 6th. My biggest fear is complications......I have had spine surgery and a hysterectomy so I am no stranger to PAIN....the thought of a complication just freaks me out. I found this on an obesity surgical center's website in the patient info section. I brought me comfort.... Possible Complications Gastric Sleeve (gastrectomy) complications are relatively rare and when they occur most likely it is during or very shortly after the procedure. These are generally not life threatening and can be managed safely either surgically or non-surgically. .

Getting ready to leave for the Hospital................very nervous and excited. Please pray for my surgeon, surgical team!

Praying for a quick recovery...I am getting sleeved today too!

Getting ready to leave for the hospital, very nervous and excited at the same time. Please pray for me. I have had other surgery's w/o complications, hoping this one will be just as easy as a recovery. Only god knows. I will see you all on the other side.......................

Me too! We will do just fine!

Why was your liver so big?

Will be sleeved in the Morning as well!!! Whoot Whoot!
