    Not losing much

    I'm 2 1/2 week out and I also have not lost but 13 lbs. until this morning and I'm down 3 more. Look for apps that you can log you food in with protein goals. I get 3 premier protein shakes a day each with 30g each there is also a app called Bariatric IQ that will tell you if a food is good to eat for you day post op. The one to log you food is called Bariatasic. Both are good sources.
  2. I wear a Veronique. They are expensive but worth the money. I got my first one when I had a tummy tuck. It had zippers on each side which help getting it on and they have open bottoms so you don't have to pull them down to go to the bathroom. Now I wear the ones with out zippers. If my husband is around he helps me pull it up. I feel so mush better and have more energy I never go without it on except sleeping. Make sure not to get it to small.

    Hi

    Something comfortable to sleep in and wear. All your meds. Water. That was it for me.

    GETTING DOWN TO IT

    My sleeve was done 2/17. I was on one week liquids. That was easy compared to after. I'm having a lot of trouble getting in my liquids. And it's very hard to fix meals for you family and then go in the other room and set alone while they eat. The surgery wasn't bad at all not a lot of pain or gas from co2 they use. Now it's just when I drink my stomach starts rumbling and it very uncomfortable. Tonight I tried taking some pain medication after I tried to drink some liquids and was having a hard time only had 16oz all day. After about 30 mins I was able to get down 4 oz no problem. You need to get really motivated so you won't be struggling after. I'm down 14lbs 4 days out. 7 were before from liquid diet. Hope this helps. Good luck.
