I saw my father go from little to more and more and more in just some months, back when I was a child. Things were never the same again; he never admitted he had a real problem. He never accepted help. We just lost him, forever, and we had to learn to live with that. You have, that is a very good starting point. Best wishes to you friend.

My high blood pressure was normal THE DAY AFTER THE GASTRIC SLEEVE WAS DONE! I am no longer on meds. It has only been 19 days since my sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Seven days. Next week I was partially at the office and partially working from home. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will go away. I had it too. Mint gum helps a lot. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sugarless gum, that is. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Update: 10 days after surgery I started walking 3 miles a day! No issues at all. Just 12 days after surgery, that is yesterday, I was riding my Harley Davidson! Greatest day in a long time! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. Great to be here. I have a question regarding liquid intake. I am 10 days post-op and the first 5 days it was quite hard to get enough liquids throughout the day. But now, I can drink a full can of V8 in about 10 minutes; a full large glass of Water in about 15; and a large glass of Protein shake in about 20 minutes. I thought it would be harder but it doesn't hurt at all, at that rate. Is this normal for more prople just 10 days post-op, or might there be something wrong with my sleeve? I know the doc took off about 80% to 85% of my stomach (saw the pic). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Look for the app as "Libra Weight", ChrisInc2. I placed an image above. Please let me know if you need any help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery on July 4th. I've had a day or two when there was no weightloss. It is normal. You lose or gain Water weight quite easily. Be patient. I use an app called "Healthcare" to register my daily weight. It uses a trendline and not your weight point to measure progress. So using that trendline I lose weight every day. It even sets a goal date using your actual data. It has been a stress releiver for me. I've used it before and I can tell you it is a great tool to stay on track without getting discouraged by temporary setbacks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am with you! I am a fast healer also. I just posted that I'm confused about drinking liquids easily just 10 days post-op. I also feel great, though some days I do feel a little tired. Glad I saw your post. Me too, like you, my mind was set on things being worse than they actually are. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
