Sleeved on May 20th..doing well. Started pureed yesterday for a week..gross! I'm 25yrs old just ended my relationship..so its getting difficult. But hoping to meet someone amazing here to go through all of this with!

depression and my sleeve is not a good combination

Looking for someone to relate..to get to know and to have someone from the opposite sex so we can motivate each other! I'm clarissa and I'm 24. Hope to hear from someone.

Very true and well said!

Thanks my sleeve friends! If you know of a nice tall handsome upgrade man..oh and educated haha send him my way

How can I survive this week?

Have no idea what types of food I should eat

Thank you friends..

I hope you are feeling better!

I had surgery May 20th, and I follow a meal plan and when its time for my soup, 2x a day. I was told to mix a can of cream of chicken with a cup of fat free milk and bring it to a boil then for every 1/2 cup of soup to add 2 tbsp of fat free dry milk and mix. so I have to have or at least drink until im full 1/2 cup of soup which is 10g protein..but ive been able to tolerate the whole 1/2 cup but it takes me a while and after I feel full. does this sound similar to anyone else?

I can't wait until next monday..this is going to be everything but easy! I just want to cry! But I woll do this! Just want to feel healthy and beautiful and wear all the clothes I've always just admired on the clothes racks!

One day at a time

Now that time is passing so fast I'm getting nervous. I'm 24 and I haven't had children. Part of the reason I want this sleeve is because when I do get pregnant I want and hope for a healthy pregnancy.. is there anyone who has gotten pregnant after getting sleeved successfully. That didn't gain all their weight back afterwards?

That's exactly why as a nurse..I decided to get this done before having a family. To prevent gestational diabetes and pre eclampsia. I don't regret my decision. Best of wishes to all!

Hi all! I was sleeved on MAy 20th as well! I'm so happy we are all finally here! I stayed at the hospital 2 nights and was on continous fluids till they discharged me..I waled a lot. I had horrible gas pain..I help so much tightness in my cheat that would radiate to my arms..especially my left arm..they did the whole chest pain work up..bit everything was normal..just gas pain..boy did it hurt! Within my stay I got two doses of morephine and once I had my upper gi xray to confirm no leaks..I was put on liquid lortab...it burns so much drinkinh it..so I sip on it slowly! I'm home feeling a whole lot better..I only take the lortab at night to prevent a restless night..I was also prescribed pepcid which helps a lot! I've been able to continue passing gas especially after I sip on broth. And finally having bowel movements! Yestetday I drank about 25 oz of water and 20oz of broth! Hopefully my water intake will get better. I meet with my nut today since monday is memorial day! Hope everyone is doing well! Hope to hear from you all!

Congrats!

I'm from TX planning on getting sleeved towards the end of April..waiting for my surgery date. I'm 24 yrs old and I'm looking for someone I can relate to and go through this journey with...someone who understands. If anyone out there can relate and would like a sleeve buddy..please let me know
