Sleeved November 11th. Starting weight 377. Weight today 330. I've hit that three week stall this week so I've picked up my exercise and liquids to kick it! Love this sleeve stuff!

I am three weeks post sleeve and doing well except for acid reflux issues every morning. Going slow with the protein shakes in the morning around 8. Then doing water till 11. Eat a cream soup around 12. About 4-5 oz. then back on water around 1 till 330. Having food processed items around 430. Last night was 4oz chicken breast processed. Ate about half. Then back on fluids again around 530 till around 9. Shake again around 930. Bed at 10. But the mornings are horrible with the reflux. Anyone having this issue?

Thanks folks!

Yes, she put me on Prilosec and I take it every morning. Just doesn't seem to be working. She put me on it months before the surgery even though I had no reflux. But I sure do now!

Was sleeved on the 11th. Got discharged yesterday. Still sore but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Worse part was recovery but walking the first hour after recovery really helped. That barium swallow for the leak test was HORRIBLE! But good luck sleevers! Now to start losing!

I'm headed in an hour and a half. I'm right there with you! Good luck!!!

Monday for me. Coming very quickly. Nerves and excitement.

One week out for me! Have lost 22 lbs on this liquid diet. Two pre-op appointments this week and a four day work week. Coming quick!

Started my all liquid diet today with surgery on the 12th. Journey is coming fast!

November 12 w/Dr Fearing in KC with Malley Surgical

When I told my boss I got more support than I thought I would. I am of course a guy with male boss and male counterparts. I thought they would give me "****" but they were very supportive and understood I wanted to get healthier. I was totally surprised.

Keep your mind on the end goal of what you want to feel and look like for you. There is a saying that pain is weakness leaving the body. I look at this surgery and pain will be weakness leaving my body. The diet and excersize will be the pain but weakness will be leaving my body. I will feel and look better when I have reached my goal. Sure there are feelings of doubt and scaredness but I have to keep my mind on my family and kids and being around for them long term. Keep your heads of folks. We are here for each other. Love this forum. You can do this Army Wife!

November 12th here too! Getting excited and nervous at the same time. I cannot wait to buy clothes from a rack!

congrats! Let us soon to be sleevers know pain levels and your progress.

Piece of cake, I was in and out of mine in 20 minutes. Great nap

Congrats Gabby!!

Hopper is your diet clear liquid only? I'm calling tomorrow to see if I can do protein shakes along with clear liquids only?

Yes hopper, 1 week liquid diet. You?

My date is November 12th. Can't wait! I hope the sleeve sisters from today went well!
