Wow, you are all doing great! I weighed myself before I went to the hospital last Monday and weighed again this morning. I am only down 2.6lbs! A little discouraging, but I'm trying to be patient and see what happens in another week.

Sleeved on Monday, 6/10, and went home Tuesday night. Most of Tuesday was great then felt really bad right before discharge, but that was mostly just the gas in my stomach trying to find a way out.....not pleasant!

I had surgery on 6/10 as well, but Monday is only 1 week out. I'm due to see my NUT on 6/25 to discuss the next stage. I know people have different programs they follow after surgery, and can maybe start the next phase earlier than others. If so, best of luck to you! Can't wait until I can move on to the next level!

I agree. I am day 3 post op, had my surgery Monday. Tuesday night was absolutely awful with the gas cramps. Very uncomfortable! Things are getting a little better and easier as each day comes. All in all, not too bad so far. I think the gas cramps were the worst of it.

Hello all, I just underwent surgery Monday, 6/10/13. Tuesday felt pretty good up until around 4pm when I felt very crappy! Wasn't sure if it was pain or nausea. Lasted for quite a while. I think it was the air/gas that they fill you with for surgery trying to find an escape route! Not pleasant! Anyway, yesterday was my first full day home. Not sure the plan you were all advised to follow, but I am supposed to be getting in up to 64 oz Water and 50-60g Protein. Yesterday only make it to about 25g protein and about 10 oz water. Woke up in the middle of the night with a pretty good headache. I'm assuming that is because I'm probably a bit dehydrated.Going to try my best to get as much water and protein in me today as I can. Was this normal for all of you that are beyond this stage, or in this stage with me? Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

Thank you all so much for your input. It really helps to know that I'm not that far off base! Water is definitely going down a lot easier today.

Thank you all for your support. Water and pills are going down a bit easier today. Things are coming along!
