Thanks Emily, but as my grandmother use to say" every heart knows it's own sorrows" and one can only do the best one can do . While I agree I should and I have indeed walked. Recovery is a personal thing. I salute you for being able to go back to work in three days! I would not have been able to! A week perhaps but, three days?? By the way there is no doubt my friend means well but at that time I simply couldn't do more than I was. Best of luck on the journey !!

I am inclined to believe there can not exist a healthy diet without fruits and vegetables in some shape and form. That I think is nutrition 101.

So funny both of you! 1 week 2 days and pressing....

@ Ms KarenC2008, does your husband have a single brother?! Lol... Had to ask. So nice that your husband is comfortable with you as you are!

Smiling..... How nice.

Hi all Today I am 1/1. Went for my first post opt doctors visit, I am down 10lbs. Energy levels much higher but have been cautioned to take it easy. So I guess I'll try to do so. This is my first week of purée food and my friend made puréed carrots and puréed chicken. Well my sleeve and my mouth simply didn't like it! So back to protein shakes for me. Thanks all for encouraging me along. Really thought the weak feeling was forever but I seems it is passing ( present continuous tense ) Did my hair and nails yesterday too and also visited my GYN. So slowly slowly I am becoming normal again. Hate the sick feeling I tell you.... Ok let me try to project only the positives in this post. With that said, thanks again everyone.

Just saw my doctor yesterday...one week, one day post op. He told me to start adding fruits and veggies, in small amounts to my protein shakes

Try smaller bites

Wow! Nice!

@everyone. Thanks you so much for the encouragements I fel so much better. You also made me smile and I really needed that. I think I like the getting butt naked part too. I'll try it and let you know. lol... Funny

So nice!

I know exactly what you mean and I smiled at your post, since it's a fear I have as well. Unfortunately , I have no idea. .....sorry sent prematurely. I do hope someone has some tips.

Thanks all. Slowly slowly I feeling a little better each day. Hey! This is not easy at all.

Just managed to sower and boy oh boy am I beat. 4 or is it 5 days post op.

Hi Sleeved the same day. Feeling weak and tired. Hope I can start eating on Thursday after I see the Dr. Liquids are now a drag. I am down 10 lbs. can hardly wait to feel normal again.

Hi, I also was sleeved on 26 August . Also no vomiting, nausea or any such. I do however, has gas pains and I am tired very easily. Took a walk this morning and found myself shaking. It wasn't a good feeling at all. Kelly, hope I remembered correctly. I can certainly understand you concern having to walk back and forth . I can only suggest that you go slowly and rest when you need to. My weight at surgery was 255. Today I am at 247. I am also curios to know what your diets are like? Are you both still on Clear liquids, full liquids or purée ? Best

It could be any number of things. I suggest you see your doctor and soon. My friend was experiencing same and kept on blaming being fat, the surgery , you name it! Turns out she was pregnant !!

Thanks all!

I am 5 days post op. My dr. Says its gas. I do also feel the sharp pain but more in my shoulders.

What a sweet baby! I was sleeved on 26 /8 Don't have much energy for anything so I salute you for your strength! Just drinking and sleeping , I between short walks. Need to shower and haven't been able to do today.... I'll get there, I am sure!

@carmen. Wish I were in Qatar to help you. Happens that I am there regularly but not for a few weeks to come. It can't be easy your doing it alone so my prayers are with you. I am new and can't answer many if your questions but I am praying for you.

Hi everyone, so motivating. I was sleeved on 26 August and remained an extra night in hospital due to fever. I am home now and I sleep a lot . Just sleeping around the clock, in between trying to stay hydrated!which has been a very slow process. I thank God because I met a lady one month post op whose stomach refused to work. Met her in hospital and left her there. God has been good to me.

That's an idea but a lot of work

Hi all, I am new here- my first post, though I have been reading and encouraging myself for about three weeks now. My family was not supportive of this surgery 3 years ago when I diary discussed it and my boyfriend said he would never agree so I beat find another way. Well since I do consider myself well over age, I am 35 years old and I was really rather informing him than seeking his consent. I have decided to go ahead with surgery . Surgery is scheduled for 26 August. Never bothered to inform the family , just a friend who will support me during recover . Wish me well everyone. Thanks for sharing!!

Many thanks , indeed . Really needed that. I am flying to NYC for surgery and he thinks I am headed elsewhere on vacation but, after surgery I'll also need to reconsider him as well because he has really managed to stress me. Thanks again... In transit as we speak.
