I'm 5 days post op and had the Sleeve and fixed my hernia. I was very fortunate to not have any sore throat, Nausea, vomiting, or soreness after surgery. My problem is I feel very very weak, I don't know if this is normal. I'm getting in my protein drinks and drinking my water as much as possible. I have to stay on full liquids until Friday and then I can start the puree stage. Can I start this early? I'm wondering if this will help with my feeling exhausted?

Oh my gosh, 4 weeks out and still tired. I don't think I will survive. lol. I was hoping when I get the the puree stage this would help the weak feeling...It does make me feel better that this is all normal.

Mine is July 3rd. My pre op is the day before. No Diet for me. I'm assuming because I have a lower BMI.

What type of advice did the Dr give you in regards of getting in your protein during your second week? And How long did it take you to drink normally? I have my Surgery schedule for next week. And Trying to get all my questions answered and get all the 411 so I'm prepared

My Surgery is scheduled for July 2nd, My Pre-Op is Scheduled for July 1st. No diet before hand.. My starting Weight is 180 at 5'4, My goal is 125-135.. I have DM and Hypertension. So excited to start this journey. I have been keeping this to my self other than my husband and my mother but no one else knows. Because as low bmi'ers know when I went to get all my pre testing done I got crazy and mean comments from others. I say their just jealous why does any one care what I do to my body anyway. I don't have a problem with Sweats really I love my Pastas and Soda. LOL I'm drinking as much now as I can. I will stop 3 days before hand so I wont have a splitting headache after surgery. But I'm looking forward to this life style change and ready to embrace what's a head. Anyone else want to keep in touch and share experiences with me?

lol, I've been doing almost the same thing. I've taken a lot of photos of my self now, so I can remember what I've looked like before surgery. I want to see how far I've come when I do loose my weight. I also want to remind my self I don't want to go back to that. I'm defiantly going to schedule a sexy photo shoot for when I'm done loosing the weight. I don't believe that I'm going to miss this. if any thing I'm going to miss food and my sodas. I'm hoping this will pass.

I have to see a GI to get Cleared for Surgery due to my Narrow Esphagus any one else have this issue

I've completed my Upper GI and now was told I have to see a GI specialist because I have a Narrow Esophagus? does any one else have this issue. I'm scared the Dr will tell me that I will need to have this widened before I can have the Sleeve
