You are not suppose to weigh your self daily your weight will fluctuate from day to day,only weigh once a week. You may be retaining water dont think about it your fine

this is one of the signs of a leak, if it is higher than what is normal I would call your doctor. Other signs include fever abdominal pain. Hope its not good luck to you

I did the same thing, but as they say I wish I knew then what I know now, Pre op I thought I would never enjoy food again today at 5 weeks I eat what ever I want the main difference is bite size and quantity I gained 12 pounds on my food funeral!!! The feelings are normal try not to go over board like I did

Dear John, I went through this also. It was painfull. The trutth of the matter is that you will be able to eat anything you want again the main difference is the quantity and your bite size. Before this surgery I could eat about 7 slices of pizza , at 5 weeks post op I can eat only 1 without the crust . Dont get down about it the time will pass and you will be able to enjoy the foods you love. My only caution is that when you can dont make it a everyday thing. Good luck and hang in there Mariam

You are Beautiful

Were high heels and not feel like big foot walking around in them

Same thing happened to me . I was on the ground at the grocery store and ambulance took me to the ER had all the tests done came back DEHYDARTION,you need 64 oz of water a day ,I got a 20 oz bottle and drink 3 a daay. It gets boring so mix it up crystal light, powerade, what ever keeps you going. Alcohol dehydrates your body so limit that. Good luck hope it nothing serious

I noticed that when I didnt drink enough Water I was hungrey all the time wanting to nibble hear and there. So, my advice would be drink lots of water and take an antiacid which may also cause the sensation of hunger Good luck

I felt the same for the first 3 weeks post op now im doing better. To actually enjoy food I take tiny bites so I feel I have eaten allot and it takes longer so I can sit with family members and be done eating when they are and still consume a small amount. I dont know if this help but I hope you feel better good luck at the therapist.

LOL the song from Rocky for before and I just wanna fly by sugar ray for after hehe this is fun:)

I get that too but usually from taking big bite of something. the only thing i can think is maybe you ate something that irritated your sleeve and its a little swelled so when you eat/swallow you feel that. If your very concerned contact your Doc good luck and I hope you feel better

I made my daughter get up on the dinning room chair then up on the table and lay down, The table was level to my waist so it made it very easy to change her, Good luck

I have 3 young children, youngest was 2 when I had surgery 3 weeks ago. You will definently need help ,I did because my daughter wanted to be held but I couldnt hold her. My Doc said 6 weeks also, she weighs 30 Lbs so add five lbs each week after surgery (wk one you can lift 5 lbs, week two 10 lbs...).I also froze meals before surgery so it was easier on others and stocked up on mac and cheese , PBJ and got stirofoam cups plates ,bowls,plastic spoons so clean up would be easy. Good luck make sure yor protein is ready for week 1 that was the hardest part for me( and getting enough liquid in). unjury.com has chicken flavored protein that is allowed in the clear liquids stage it tastes pretty good. wish you the best.

Hello, I got sleeved 20th decmber 2012. according to my Doc weight gain means your eating to many carbs and/or not exercising enough. 80 lb is amaizing great job:) get protein in first then vegies, carbs last. have 3 meals a day with healthy snacks in between. calorie intake should be 600 to 800 calories a day when your at goal weight you should never exceed 1200 a day, unless you go below target weight. I got all this info from the book my doctor gave me. Good luck I wish you the best, shrug it off and start a new day you can do it

Im 2 weeks post op have lost 28 lb so far, they have gotten only a little smaller

before surgery: 288 DOS: 276 Today: 264.4 Goal:214

Lebanese Italian and German. I had my surgery December 2oth and I'm in USA

Great job! Your not the only one I have a suit case filled with jeans and tops that dont fit me yet...Ive had them there for about 6 years congrats on your success keep the good work up

What are some good protein shots?

what flavor crystal light do you mix with the unflavored protein? I mixed it with peach it was horrible

I did the same thing!!! I ate at every restaurant I new I wasn't gonna eat at for a while after surgery,sushi ,burgers,pizza,milkshakes, Chinese.. I stopped 1 week before my 10 day pre op diet so I wouldn't completely freak out when I started the liquid pre op diet... but I ended up going to a chinese buffet and checkers the day before my liquid diet LOL.. yes its normal have fun, but prepare your self mentally for it good luck
