Everyone has a story, some good and some bad. I had my surgery on June 25th. I don't know if I am lucky or what but I've had NO complications or problems. I did have a 3 week stall where I lost NO weight. Stayed the same. It broke the other day and now the weight is falling off. Only you can decide what is right for you. I am so much happier now and I'm only down 30 lbs. I feel great! Good luck on your journey!

Me too. Mine was June 25th. I lost 27lbs and that's it. Nothing in over 2 weeks now.

I am not going to weigh myself every day either. It sux. I haven't had trouble with my stomach since the surgery because I think I was put on regular food week 2. It seems that the longer you're on liquids and purees the harder it is to hold food down. It seems that way anyway from all the posts I've been reading. I guess we all just have to stick to it and we'll reach our goals!

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on June 25th. It's been 4 weeks now and I've been stalled for two weeks. I lost 27 lbs so far. My story seems to be different than others. My doc put me on regular foods, meat and green veggies and greek yogurt the second week! He said that research has found that starting regular foods early helps speed recovery. I must say that I feel good. I went back to work after 3 weeks and was exhausted at first but I'm sure this second week will be easier. My pain was awful the first day. Second day was painful but not too bad. I came home the day after surgery and had to sleep on the recliner for a few days as I couldn't lie flat. I only took Vicodin at night for three days and after that it was ok. I am still a little sore but feeling great. I am off my blood pressure meds and doing good. I have my next visit with the surgeon this Friday, Aug.1st so I'm guessing he'll let me have carbs now! I am really missing fruit. I love it and it's been driving me nuts not being able to eat it. The unjury unflavored Protein is wonderful. I put it in my vanilla greek yogurt and it's absolutely tasteless! I also bought the chocolate flavor which I will use when I can make smoothies in my new Nutribullet! Can't wait to juice! Keep the faith everyone!

Thanks everyone.

My Dr. said nothing but sugar free Jello, 3 parts Water to 1 part Light apple juice and broth. I tried the white grape juice also but I don't know if it's me but it has a chemical smell and taste. So gross. Today I ordered some Protein powder from unjury. A lot of people are saying it's not too bad. This way I'll have it when I can start my protein. Kellie, that almond milk chocolate drink sounds good. I'll have to try it. I've been checking out sleevers on You Tube and found a few. I'll have to check out the one you're talking about also.

Thank god it's almost all gone! The only thing I'm worrying about is I keep reading everyone is having Protein. I was not told about this. I tried to drink Isopure but it so disgusting. What other protein are you guys having only days after surgery??

I am going to call my dr this morning and see what he says. Thanks for the post! It's helpful to have people to talk with who've been there, done that!

I'm 4 days out since my sleeve. I woke up this morning and my tongue was coated in this disgusting white film! Is this normal? Also, i wasn't told about Protein in the first week post op! Am I suppose to be drinking protein? I have the Isopure clear Protein drinks and they are disgusting but I hold my nose and take a few sips! I keep telling myself it'll get better!

Hi. I am 3 days out and feel pretty good. I have some cramping and some pain but not too bad. I am from NJ but had my surgery in PA. I was a nervous wreck the week before my surgery. I was having panic attacks galore! Once I got to the hospital I felt calmer and was happy about that. Everyone is different and responds differently to things so don't get yourself nuts by reading all the negative posts. You should read the good and the bad but don't let it make you anxious! Good luck and keep me posted!

I am doing pretty good except for cramping. Every once in a while I get these bad cramps that last only a few seconds but they hurt. Is this normal?
