OCTOBER 2011 SLEEVE ROSTER

[bonbon0576 9]

This is my first day on this forum. I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone. Everyone is so supportive and inspiring! My surgery is on Halloween!

[St. Louis Sarah 0]

I really pushed the liquids today and i feel like it is paying off. I am coming out of the foggy state i feel i have been in since getting home Saturday. I am struggling with the Proteins but plan to go buy some tasteless Protein to add to everything starting tomorrow. I have had very little pain but did get up and about today and overdid it a little. I guess going from zero to 90 didnt help. But i will say walking and drinking have helped a ton. I was sleeved oct 20 and am even eating week two foods like cottage cheese.< /p>

how are you holding up sounds like your doing good I hope your recovering smoothly yaaaaye we made it through week one here's to many more goodluck friend<3

[marypenny 3]

Good morning friends!

And mine was so different from yours! I got the drain out while I was still in the hospital, so I've been drain free from Day 3, if you consider surgery as Day 1. Have lost 23 pounds since the pre-op began. I have found a whole new wardrobe in my closet. Amazing. Another 80 to go.

It's been so good to read what you folks write. All so supportive. There were several days right after the surgery and once I was home when I wasn't sure at all that this was a good idea! It's been quite painful for me to put anything in the sleeve so the surgeon (when I finally confessed that I was only getting down 3 oz of liquid a day) rx'd some Magic pills for me. One under the tongue. Slows the action of the gut and lets me get down 2-4 oz of Protein Shake. But I can get enough Water down so I'm not in danger of dehydration.

Thank you all.

Mary

So glad to hear that all went well with you!! And a year of traveling!! WOW. We have been retired now for two and a half years and have taken some extensive trips but nothing like yours. What an incredible experience for you both. I wondered why you had your surgery in Germany (I thought perhaps you were active duty USArmy). Congrats on your outcome. I'm like you, in that I had the drain removed while I was in the 3nd day of the hospital stay, just before Dr. Owens released me. And, like you, I wasn't hungry at all. I think my 'inside' were still in shock! Stood on the scale and was down (including the pre-op two week diet) 23 pounds. I want to encourage you to follow all your dr.'s orders. Very best of luck & planning to you! Sincerely, Mary

CONGRATS on your Sleeve. "Get in my Belly" was updating the Roster and I don't know how to do it. Since GIMB is in surgery today, be may have to wait until someone else puts you on the roster or until BIMB returns.

I just want to make sure to welcome you. How are you doing?
