How much have u lost since surgery day?

Oh no i dont want that, i do it once a day & then im satisfied. Thanks for the info. Good luck with ur surgery, im cheering for you.

Awesome stay positive.

I never feel full, im averaging 2 12oz protein shakes 23 grams each & today was the first day i got 20 oz of water in. Someone told me this & im gonna try it. Set my alarm every hour & drink 4 oz of shake then 4 oz of water every other hour.

Thanks so much for the info, i had to call them back today because i gave them my Aetna info instead of my cvs caremark card. Also my doc is only approving 1 month supple, talking about she dont want me on shakes after 2 weeks. The nerve, i feel if my insurance is gonna pay let me have it, i can have one in my bag when i get caught out without food handy. I hope they approve the six months. Thanks again.

Start doing squats.

Hi everyone I was sleeved 6 days ago. Everything went great I was up walking around in the recovery room. No stomach or gas pain, no back, neck, knee or elbow pain. I just had left shoulder pain & in both thighs & both arms in the muscle area. I guess that wasfrom being strapped down I was doing so well I was sent home the next day. Im not hungry but having major brain hunger. I'm the sucker/licker lol. Hubby dont eat the skin of his chicken so the other night he had rotisserie chicken from the spanish restaurant & I just sucked all the seasoning out of that thing. The other morning he left a half slice bacon on th stove & I sucked the flavor out of that. For lunch yesterday he had tuna fish & I ran my finger around the inside of the bowl 2 twice & today I had half of a chicken nugget mmmmm. I had my first issue today drink broth, I think I drank to much & it just kept rising up in my throat. I walked around & once I belched I was fine. I didnt hurt. Ive been able to sleep on both sides since the day of surgery & 4 days out I was able to lay on my stomach. I go tomorrow to have my dressing removed. I took my first outside walk today for 20 minutes. I was borderline diabetic, high cholesterol over 300, sleep apnea, major back, neck, knee & elbow pain from a car accident 4 years ago. Im 5 1, I started at 219 my first visit, 208 the day of surgery & today 6 days later im 197, 11 pounds in a week. What soft foods did everyone start with, I still have another week on liquids. Since im a brown girl/AA im looking for support & to support others like me. Im loving mysleeve so far.
