I was sleeved on 4/16. so far so good. I have lost 50 lbs since surgery and almost 100 lbs since January. I have stalled once for a few days, but I just kicked up the cardio and got over that hump. I am trying to focus on getting all my protein in and staying hydrated, which for me can sometimes be a challenge. a lot of times I feel like I can't drink enough water.

good luck!

Morning of surgery -
I had my surgery on April 16th and I am on my week long clear liquids also. I have had to use a spirometer also. I had to use it every two hours while in the hospital, then at least 4 times a day once I got home. It is a nuisance, but like you I can tell a difference in using it.

lawsorl replied to Jillianm17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am also day 2 post op and my gas pain is much worse, but so far nothing unbearable. The gas release drops they area giving me are helping. -
I had my surgery today. So far so good. Been up to use the restroom and walk a couple of times now. Had some gas pain, but nothing terrible. My stomach is a little sore, like from doing crunches , but not so bad I can take it Everything went well. I did not have a hiatal hernia, so I was lucky in that regard.

My surgery is on April 16th (less than one week). I had my pre-op appointment today. I am really excited. THe nervousness has subsided for now, I am in the mode of "let's get this over with" but I am sure this weekedn the nervousness will return. Good luck to everyone! -
Favorite things you can do now that you couldn't before, or things you're looking forward to doing?

I agree with the flying comfortably part. We love to travel so I'll be happy with that. One of my bucket lists items has been zip lining. So when i get to my goal, my wife and I are going to go somewhere like Costa Rica and do that. Playing soccer with my son (for longer than 10 minutes) -
I am also April 16th. I agree the clear liquid drinks are very sweet. I have to water them down. I generally make two bottles out of one. although you have to drink both to get all the protein..haha

Scared about being big and having surgery
lawsorl replied to Sunshineprincess's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am in the same boat. I am going in for a sleeve on April 16th and while I'm so excited to stat a new chapter in my life, i am scared as hell also. I am trying to do what others have said and just focus on the positives. Good luck!
