I was sleeved on 5/21. Down 45 pounds and able to exercise, eat normally for the most part and no problems chugging water or drinking with a straw. It takes very little to fill me up so I need to pay attention to my protein intake. My wife was done the same day and she has had similar results.

i was sleeved on the 23rd. Started eating soft foods today. Not feeling great. How are you guys doing?We're doing good. I woke up with with some pretty severe pain today but it seems to have subsided. Still no problems getting protein and water in. We start puréed foods this Saturday. Pretty excited about that.

Hang in there, Cherrytree. It will get easier. 14 pounds is great!!

I had my surgery on 5/21. I also had a hernia repair. The first night it was painful but that was from the hernia repair. Since then, things have gone well. I have no problems getting my proteins and liquids in. I can drink fluids normally like I did before the surgery without needing to take small sips. I've been getting 90-120 grams of protein daily. I have not had any real hunger pains but my tastes may have changed slightly. I still enjoy the Premier Protein shakes very much but today I tried a shake made from high protein milk and vanilla Unjury protein powder and found it much too sweet. I've been eating premier protein shakes, Unjury chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and Greek yogurt. After 6 days, I have lost 10 pounds since the surgery. Can't wait to start puréed foods this weekend! I have absolutely no regrets about this decision!

Xojessny, Are you taking your meds every four hours? We have to get up around 2am to take ours. It makes the mornings a lot easier.

Mostly reading forums, watching tv, etc. This is because we've been stuck in a hotel for a couple days. Flying back to Alaska tonight.

We had ours done on Wednesday as well.

Awesome! We are going to increase our distance when we get back home tomorrow.

We are walking for about 10 minutes every 3-4 hours. Then we are resting. Make sure to keep up with your pain meds. It makes all the difference. How far out are you?

Hello, We were sleeved 2 days ago on the 21st. Still on liquids but no hunger pains. We were able to start Protein today and that gave us quite a burst of energy. The pain is manageable and things seem to be going well. I'm 48 with a starting weight of 281. She's 45 with a starting weight of 251. We're both 3-5 pounds over the starting weight due to the fluids. Looking forward to next week when the pounds start coming off!
