Hello all, I am 75 fays post op and have lost a total of 37 lbs. I am currently at 195, surgery date I was 232. This last week I haven't loss anything..its been the same. I am trying not become discouraged. I would love to hear some words of advise or experience. Thanks all!

Last night I was in pain under my left breast. I went to bed and woke up this morning with the same pain. I called the Dr but waiting for a call back. Anyone have any clue why I am in pain? Its dull and severe when I am up walking around, not bad while lyingdown.

Help....9 weeks postop and pain under rib cage.

Thanks for the response. I thought it might be gas too but I am not having any problems passing gas.

Hey all, its been what a month lol...sleeved 2/13. Highest weight 256. Date of surgery 232 and today I am 212. 20 lbs down since surgery. I am working out everyday about 3.5 miles a day of running on the treadmill and elliptical. Water intake is good but still working on 64 oz a day, getting about 48. I hope all you Feb sleeveers are doing great! The journey is amazing so far!!

Hi all, I am three days post op and feeling great. I am still a little sore around my chest and tummy and incisions. I am doing great with fluid intake. Probably because my husband stays on me lol. I found a 3.8 oz protein drink that has 42g of protein in the whole thing. So I break it up and sip it though out the day on top of my protein shakes. I would say im getting about 50-60 grams a day. I had a hard time with nausea and found peppermint tea to help and the warm fluid feels alot better than cold. I walked alot yesterday going shopping with my family since my birthday is on Monday. I am surprised how amazing I feel. I have a hard time getting up and down but it has a lot to do with soreness and I haven't had a bowel movement yet but one step at a time. I weighed in on surgery day @ 232 and as of this morning I weigh 227...I am so excited for whats in store for me. I am so ready for a healthy me!!! Not going to lie though I would really like not to be on liquids anymore but I am following drs orders to the tee. I hope everyone is doing good. And congratulations on your new journey, I dont regret this for a second.

Thanks. I did kinda over do it yesterday...resting a lot today. The vival is called New Whey Liquid Protein.

Im using a liquid whey protein that is packed with protein 42 grams In only 3.8 oz of liquid. I just drink a lil over an oz every few hours. They aren't expensive each vival is about $2.50 and I found them at Wal-Mart. They have two flavors that I know of acai berry and watermelon. I was gonna check GNC to see if they have them as well. And they are no fat, no sugar and no carbs.

Thanks! I didn't think I'd feel this good. I was worried, but its amazing. How many days post op are you now?

One day post op. Officially on the losers bench. Had sleevedone yesterday at 9 am and super happy. Anuone experience hiccups when drinking? How do you avoid them?

Feeling great! Ive gotten my fluids and protein in. I only know I had surgery from the soreness around my chest and stomach. This is much simpler than what I expected. Im so grateful for this opportunity and thank god for watching over me through this process. I am taking advantage of my new life. I started this process April 13 @ 257 lbs started preop diet @ 241lbs I went into surgery yesterday at 2/13 @ 229lbs. Goal is 150lbs! Im ready!!! So ready for this.

2ND day post op. Officially on the losers bench. Had sleevedone yesterday at 9 am and super happy. Anuone experience hiccups when drinking? How do you avoid them?

I am finally at the hosptial getting checked in. I am nervous and excited. Ready!!

And I can only drink this hot peppermint tea without feeling sick. Water makes me so nauseous. Anyone gotta any fluid intake tricks.? I been sticking with the tea. Forgot my Crystal light at home. I think my new tummy likes warn stuff;-)

Omg...well mine go away thank God cuz this is painful. But tolerable.

Anyone got the hiccups? If so howbdo you deal? Jen I was loopy too..onlynout of bed to pee. Not alot of m pain just nausea and discomfort in my.chest.

Well it almost four in the morning here. Had surgery at 9 am yesterday morning and other than some nausea (which is being controlled by some really hot peppermint tea) and pain in the deep incision site, I cant believe how good I am really feeling. My Dr says I dont have to do a leak test at and just need to get in enough fluids after iv is removed then I can go home. Hopefully this after noon. Thanks for the many prayers. I cant believe my journey is starting.Moving to the losers bench.
