Looking good. We are about the same weight lose so far and time frame. I am finally able to notice the changes. I love putting on clothes that felt like they were cutting off my circulation and now have them feel loose. Woo hoo!!!

I was sleeved January 22nd. It has been a pretty good month so far. I am down a total of 28 lbs all together. I have lost 13 since surgery. The past few days have been good. I did have a couple of weeks that didn't lose but gained. But this week I have lost 4 lbs so far. [ATTACH]41761[/ATTACH]

I am 3 weeks post op and was moved to regular food on day 8. They only time I got sick was the day after surgery. I have been concerned about my sleeve being to big. I have no problem at all drinking my 11 oz protein shake in like 10 minutes. Also I easily eat 4 oz of food 3 times a day. I do feel like I could eat more but I weigh my food out before I eat. I really thought that 4 oz was gonna be to much but not at all. I also gave no problem drinking at all. I almost wish that I had some restriction. I would know I was sleeved.

Well I am 2 weeks post op and gained 1.4 lbs!!!!! How is that possible? Things have been going great but when I stepped on the scale this morning I had gained weight. Of course I was disappointed and now all I wanna do is figure out what I was doing wrong. Could I already be hitting a stall? Some advice would be great!!

I only weigh myself once a week. I am hoping it's just a stall. A friend said it may be that I started regular food after just 7 days. Unlike a normal pre op diet that has stages.

Today I am one week post op!!!! I feel great. I went back to work yesterday and that has been fine. My doctor released me to a full diet. Of course healthy diet but I don't have to do stages. Thank God!!! I really thought the recovery was gonna be so much harder. I know we all recover differently. I love being able to notice the changes already. When I would do a fad diet I never saw a change. I am so excited for this new life!!! HW 250.1 SW 234.8 CW 226.6

So sorry your having a hard time. Just take your time and when your body is ready you will know. Good luck!!

I am eating whatever I want. By that I mean healthy. I was on clears for one week and then moved to regular food. I had tune for lunch and chilli for dinner. My doctor feels you will know what you can handle. His feeling is "God gave you teeth for a reason." Today for Breakfast I had a slice of ham, for lunch I will finish the tune from yesterday and for dinner I will be having taco flavored chicken.

Well today is day 4 post op. It seems that so far every other day is a good day. Yesterday I felt great but today I am nauseous and have some pain. I am dealing with it pretty good. I don't take my pain meds till its time for bed. I do think I may need some Tylenol today. I lost 15.2 lbs pre op and so far 5.1 since surgery. I have not been getting in the 64 oz of fluid but getting better every day. So far so good!!!

I was told not to worry about my protein. They pumped me with 2 huge bags of vitamins and protein while in the hospital. Someone mentioned in one post about a protein shot that has 42g in it. She would mix it with her crystal light. Maybe try that. Good luck and keep me posted on your journey!

I'm sleeved!!! I was sleeved at 7:30 this morning and all went well. I was in pain right after but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I slept on & off till 3 pm. They gave me some Tylenol in my IV which was good enough. I started my clears at 6:15 which went well but now the vomiting has begun. Let me tell you that SUCKS!!!!!!! I am using muscles that I would rather not use at this moment lol. I can honestly say that so far it's not as bad as I was expecting.

This happened to me. Our insurance changes March 1st and the new insurance doesn't cover weight loss surgery. My current insurance required 6 months of nutrition so once that was complete my surgeon rushed things long. I am being sleeved in the morning.

I am so glad things went well. I just finished packing my bag. I check in at 6am!! I am a bag of nerves but so so excited.

Congratulations! ! Mine in tomorrow morning and the nerves have set in. I cried my self to sleep last night cause I was glittery. I am so excited but surgery always freaks me out. Keep us posted on how things go. So happy for you!!

Day 3 for me and I am feeling good. I actually didn't really want my broth tonight but I knew I needed it. It will pass. I am thankful though that I only have to do 4 days. My surgery is on Wednesday. Good luck!

Good luck!!! Congratulations! !

Lady pink I am in Wilkes Barre , PA. Keep me posted on your progress.

My doctor has scheduled my surgery as a same day procedure, is this common? I had to switch surgeons due to insurance reasons and my old surgeon was keeping me over night but the new one isnt? Some input please......

I do believe they are doing a leak test. My post op diet is clears for one week then I introduce food as I feel my body can handle it.

Good luck today! !!! Prayers being sent your way!

I am scheduled for the 22nd also. I had to do 2 weeks no carbs high protein. That wasn't bad lost 12 lbs. On Saturday I started my clear diet. That has been ok. Drinking none stop. Where are you located? Keep us posted!!!

I am having surgery on Wednesday and I was told clears for 7 days then I do all food as I feel my body can handle it. His words were " God gave you teeth for a reason".

Try doing something afterwards. Me and my husband do movie and bowling or pool the same night. Bowling also gets you moving a bit
