I would be interested in the FB page. My name is Lisa Petersen Hoskins.

My Monday weigh in. I was sleeved on May 29th and am down 28 pounds since surgery day.

I am so sorry. Did your Dr. have any suggestions or explanations? I had my surgery on may 29th and am out of my pain meds but am still in a ton of pain. I had to return to work a week after surgery. If the pain doesn't subside I am going to have to call to see about getting more. How long have others been on pain medications?

So was at church today and took the bread for sacrament and popped it into my mouth without even thinking! Then panicked! Ended up pretending to cough and putting it in a tissue. lol

Is anyone having difficulty remembering to quit drinking half hour before eating and after? I am getting my fluids but still feel parched. I have been able to still eat/sip 1/4 cup soup and still sip water with no ill effect. Most times I just forget and sip water from my water bottle always by me.

I was sleeved on May 29th and just went to dinner with friends. I ordered the French onion soup without the bread. I told my friends I was off carbs. Not sure what I will do next weekend at a party where everyone will be drinking.

I had surgery on May 29th. I was on broth and Jello for 4 days. I am a week and a day out. Currently I can eat soup including cream soups, no chunks, cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese (which I thought was odd and have not done). I was hungry on the broth and jello but since transitioning to the 5-14 day phase I haven't been hungry. Can you not have any food until June 17th?

I am game for a private FB page. I was sleeved on May 29th. I have started back to work. The first day was rough! I never realized how tough getting ready is! UGH! Buckling my sandals and doing my hair about killed me! I was literally green when I got to work. I was green, clammy and felt nauseous! After a bout a half hour it subsided and I was able to tough it out. My second day back at work so far is good. Got up and felt so much better! Not normal but getting there day by day. After surgery I actually gained 10 pounds Water weight. I could not pee for the life of me! Finally I had to have a catheter. No fun! But a week and a day out I have lost 13 pounds from my day before surgery weight. I think for postings we should post our weight loss from our day of surgery weight to current, It would maybe make it more uniform than everyone posting the pre diet weight loss, Just an idea. Love this group and all the great advice and shared experiences! Thanks!

I was wondering when everyone was going back to work. I am scheduled back tomorrow, so a week off. I was sleeved on may 29th and am finally loosing the excess Fluid from the hospital. Geez, I was up like 10 pounds from all the fluid! I have lost 8 pounds so far. I am a little concerned that I have not had a BM yet. I guess I have a hiatal hernia so I have not been able to lay in my bed and sleep. Have had to sleep in my lazy boy chair. Hoping this clears up! MY Dr. does not do Protein drinks, he says to eat my calories so I am doing Soup, cottage cheese, yogurt type things. Lovin this group! Thanks Lyabell!

I was sleeved May 29th. I have 5 incisions. One is still painfull. I had a lot of iv liquid to get rid of. I expected to be down some pounds after just liquids for 5 days but am about the same weight. I guess I have a hyertle hernia so I have had problems laying down and feeling like everything is right there. Slept in a chair last night.

Good Luck! My surgery is for May 29th. Excited and Scared!
