Paola 62 Posted January 18, 2012 I was sleeved last Tuesday, and was on my way home by Thursday. My first week was a little harder than what I expected because 5 days after surgery my period arrived and it left me so drained. This cycle kicked my butt, harder than surgery. Nevertheless, today is my 8th day post op and I feel great, the only thing I don't like is that I feel full all the time, but I know its because my poor tummy is still recovering. I've had gas pain, and been nauseaous, but I don't regret this decision for a minute. Cheers to a new life!!! :biggrin2: 1 DisappearingDivis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PreciousCargo 55 Posted January 18, 2012 My period is due to arrive around my surgery date. I am scared and would be embarrassed if it started on during surgery. Good luck on your journey..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paola 62 Posted January 18, 2012 Paola, What kind of pre op diet were you following? 44 lbs in 4 mos is awesome! From September to the en on October I was eating only veggies and meat, it was all cooked with as little fat as possible. All of November and December I was on Protein shakes 1-2 a day (no carbs in them) and 1 meal at night. The meal was the same as the previous months, veggies and meat.< /p> 1 Pookeyism reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
