Congratulations! Don't be surprised if the pain level fluctuates a bit. The fluid, gas and everything starts to set in a girl just walk as much as you can. Good luck to you

Hey there! I am a June 8th sleeved as well. Its going good. I have found that getting water down has been the hardest, still not teaching water or protein goals yet. Pain is much better. Almost gone now. I have to really watch making sure to put my food into small portions otherwise the temtation to eat too much is there. Something I will always have to be mindful of.not feeling hungry but my stomach does growl too. It's funny. I can tell I have lost but have not weighed myself yet. Some think it's crazy but I want to be surprised at my 2 week check up to get my staples removed next week.

Are you carefully monitoring portions? It seems like its that last nite or two that get me. Or maybe it's a certain food?

It took 6 days for me. I finally took a stool softener

Heavyb me too. The shakes aren't really cutting it for me. I was sleeved the 8th so almost 2 weeks

I got some protein soups from Amazon. They had a variety

It hurts for me too especially when I breathe. I was told it was normal

I was sleeved Monday and was told I could start protein drinks when out of the hospital. I was released Wednesday and started Thursday

I was just wondering this too. Haven't gone yet and was sleeved on the 8th.

That is so weird...me too!! It just started yesterday and I was sleeved same day. I am on protein drinks along with broth and jello but same crazy dreams. Every dream is about food. I was wondering about stomach acid because I started getting a bit of a sore throat today and was wondering if it could be that. I don't feel hunger pains but want to eat so bad.

I have been doing sugar free jello pudding. I got cheesecake, banana cream and cocolate. Mix with fat free milk. It actually says do not mix with soy milk because it won't set up. I actually was going to try it and got lucky reading it on the package first. Lol

I am on day 5vpost up and really for me day 1 and 2 were not bad. Day 3 kicked my butt with gas and pain. Day 4 was a little better but now on day 5 I feel pretty good.

I used both. Water with the fuzzy navel protein and milk with the coffee flavors. I tried to minimize milk as much as possible because I wasn't losing as much. Try mixing 1 cup of milk and rest water. That helped me

It's so funny how we are all different in our recoveries. I am on day 5 and I feel like I finally turned the corner on pain. I was able to get out and walk too today. Hang in there everyone!

I felt the same way. Day 2 and e were hell for me. On day 4 and so much better. Hang in there. I still have the pain in my chest but it's getting better.

I seriously hate my auto correct on my phone. Sorry

I also had had get a and took meds everyday, I learned I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired at the time of surgery and I have not had a single issue since. U have not been nausous once either get but I am still pretty new post op so who knows what might happen

Hey everyone! Was sleeved Monday and it's been interesting. I am in more pain than I thought I would be in. The first day was not bad but when they switched me from iv meds to oral meds it got much worse. I am home now and doing better. I hadn't passed any gas until last night Finally started coming out and now pain is netter

Oops noon. I hate my auto correct

I thought I would update you all. I had surgery yesterday around boo,. Everything went well. I had a hiatal hernia that was also repaired at the same time. At first all was going great. I got up and walked and was visiting with family until about 10pm. When they left I went to bed and had a rough night here in the hospital. I was in a lot of pain.vthete was a spot on my back that was killing me. I was upvptretty much every hour. Today I was hoping to home but my blood levels dropped and I can't get enough fluid down yet. It's harder than it looks for sure. Hopefully I can go home tomorrow.

Did anyone have 2 days of full clear liquids before surgery? I am just wondering. Most have said just 1 day.

Maggie409 on clear you can't have milk. Also no protein shakes just broth, water hello...no orange or red. Sprite and Apple juice Oops jello

I have done HCG more than once and lost but did not keep it off. I have surgery Monday. I don't know if I would mess with that unless you have been sleeved for awhile. Good question though

I can relate. I was supposed to have surgery initially in February and my levels came back super low. I had 5 iron Infusions and 3 iron pills per day. I was just checked again and I am still a little low but not enough to prevent my surgery on Monday. It's tough but you will feel so much better when they are back to normal

I just got some to add to Crystal light. I have had a hard time finding proteins I like mixed with water. I think I did not lose as much weight when I was mixing with milk. I have surgery Monday so still pre op.
