Thanks for the encouragement. This is a great site. We are all different as far as our recovery but all want the same results. Looking to see that everyone is different puts me at ease. I know this will pass nd in looking forwar to week 3-4.

How are you recovering. My weight is finally changing. After losing 12 pounds before surgery after surgery I gained 8. They told me iv and fluids. I am still swollen on my stomach. But the 8 lbs are gone plus 3 more. Just seeing what you guys are experiencing. I hope to lose more before I see dr next week. I also went back to work yesterday for 5 hours. Taking it easy I need to recover and e back to normal.

Went for 2 walks today a few blocks. Probably about 1 mike each walk. Maybe more. Walk. Walk and walk. I feel great but I have been able to get all my protein in no problem. Energy level is great. Just gassy. I am going into work for 4 hours tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'm the boss so I need to take care of a few things. And sitting at home is driving me nuts. I need my normal routine

My surgery was oct 8 I still have gas pains. Also swollen and still my weight is more than before surgery. I have been drinking walking and getti g all protein in. I am not going to weigh myself again till next Tuesday. As I am still bloated and full of gas. Otherwise I think my recovery is going as it should be. I have passed some gas but feel there is still some. I hope you feel better soon

Getting better and better everyday. Went for a walk outside. Got in 75 grams of protein and all my vitamins. Trying to drink more water. Still a little gas but the farts are helping. Lol. I'm going. To work on Monday for 4-5 hours. I am self employed and need to do some paperwork and give some directions. I should be fine. How are you doing. I can sit at my desk and give orders. But getting back to normal is probably best for me. I won't overdue it.

I was sleeved oct 8. Keep walking. The gas will start to subside. Best feeling. Also warm soups are the easiest for me. I have some pain but it is manageable. Was successful on day 4 getting 75 grams of protein in. Not easy.

Welcome. I am 5 days post op. this is a great site to share experiences and information Remember we all tolerate pain different lose weight differently etc. it is a great tool to see what others are experiencing. Good luck.

How are you doing. My pain went up second day due to the horrible gas. Lots of walking helped. I'm home feeling better and staying focused. Trying to get liquids in. But still not as bad as I anticipated. I think I expected the worse and so I accept the pain as part of this process. Hope your doing well.

Try to get some walking in. Space your liquids out. I am doing a 1 ounce cup about every 15 minutes. Takes a few hours to finish my protein drink but it helps. Have only been able to get 30 grams of protein the last 2 days. Just got home from hospital 2 hours ago. My husband and oldest daughter are catering to me. I'll take it. Don't get discouraged. We are doing this for our health.

The gas pain is the worst. I have been walking and walking. I am finally having small burps. Hopefully that relieves it. Dr said it will subside. Focusing on getting liquids down and proteins. Not very easy. I'm not hungry at all. Now the healing begins and my new journey

Hi ladies I was sleeved oct 8 everything was smooth but I have major gas pain. I am walking and walking but no relief. 2 nights in hospital. I'm still happy with the decision and am being taken care of well. I am happy to begin this journey. Good luck everyone wishing you all a speedy recovery

I take it back gas pains just started. They just gave me more meds to help with pain.

How are you feeling. I am feeling great. Hoping your recovering well. They just starting giving me water. I passed the dye testing.

Had my surgery 14 hours ago. I feel much better than I expected. The pain is tolerable and I have walked 2 times. I think I had so much anxiety. I had never had any kind of surgery. All went smooth incetions are small. Mouth is very dry and Chapstick was my lifesaver. One problem is sleep tonight. Sleeping for about 15 minutes and waking. Slept on and off all day. But overall a great day. Keep us posted I hope things get better for those of you having a rough time.

Recovery is goings. Surgery was at 10. Getting rest and then walking. Slept most of the day. The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be. Good luck everyone. I was extremely nervous and it all went smoothly.

Getting my things ready then off to the hospital.

Tomorrow is my day. I'm nervous. Got 3 calls from hospital anestia and nurse. Yikes. Excited but nervous. Today was all liquid. Going to pack my things

Good luck keep us posted. My day is Tuesday. I'm nervous now.

Down 11 pounds. Surgery on Tuesday. One more day of shakes then all clear liquids Monday. Almost there. Got all things done. I'm ready
