SW: 257 DOS: 244 CW: 203 Lost: 54 lbs Sleeved on 10/3/2012 ... Best decision I have made and feeling great!

I was sleeved on 10/3 (2 weeks ago) and I have lost 24 lbs! (12 lbs pre-op and 12 lbs post-op) I can definitely feel the difference in my neck and face. Congrats to all of you!

That's amazing! When did you have your surgery?

Instead of walking you could try the bicycle or elliptical at the gym

I've been on full fluids since yesterday and have lost 8 lbs post op (sleeved 10/3) I definitely gained weight after the surgery because of the gas, fluids, bed rest, and no bm. After you release the gas and pee out all the fluids, and start walking, the weight begins to come off. I think all 8 lbs came off of my neck and face.

I am a Mom also but because I love my child and don't want him living like I did (overweight and depressed), we don't allow him to eat junk food on a daily basis. Of course, we understand a cookie or ice cream every now and then won't hurt him, he gets it in moderation.

Mine went away today actually... I was sleeved on the 4th of October

I am right with you both! And sleeved on October 3rd My fiancé and his sister had garlic bread last night and when it came out of the oven it smelled delicious! Then when I ate some yogurt and felt that fullness, I really couldn't have imagined eating that garlic bread. I think we will always have a love for food but it will get better as time goes on

Same here! I was shocked I was able to have a bowel movement so quickly

Hmm I'm not sure what it could be you are probably eating something your tummy isn't able to tolerate yet

I had a very similar experience! I was sleeved on 10/3. I passed out in the operation room and woke up in recovery unsure of what was going on. I was shocked to know I was done with surgery. I had horrible gas pain for 3 days, so they kept me 2 nights in the hospital. I was released yesterday and do feel better today. I'm glad you are home and doing well! Keep us up to date!

I have! I think it's drinking too fast/eating to fast and not letting it settle at first

Are you having a bowel movement on a regular basis? If not, it could be backing up in your stomach and be causing the uncomfortable pain.

Are you getting in enough liquids/protein?
