Well I feel like I've been working out non stop lol my thighs, legs, arms, neck, abdominal area everything aches I'm guessing it's this dumb hospital bed. Besides that I've been taking down n keeping down my liquids so I'm happy bout that. I'm waiting for the doc to release me.

Good luck!! Once you're up and moving that stiffness and pain will go away somewhat.

I am so disappointed with MYSELF. I woke up got on the scale and I have gained 1.6 pounds. OMG Over the pastv3 days I have been eating whatever I wanted as long as it was soft. But most of my foods have had sugar, carbs and starch. I am telling you that is not going to work. I need some ideas how do I get on track. My surgery is only two weeks old. I am feeling good a d have had no problems. Can we stretch our sleeve so that it will become bigger? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

You should be on nothing but full liquids. Didn't your surgeon give you a diet?

You should not be eating whatever you want even if it is soft. Try healthier things and make sure to get 60-90 grams of Protein in. Make sure you get all you fluids.

Make it so most of your foods are not comprised of sugar, carbs and starch. Use the shakes, 0 or 2% Greek yogurt, skim, 0 or 2% milk. etc.

The sleeve is a tool and it works if you use it.

Weight can fluctuate from day to day. The overall trend should be downward.

Sleeves do not really stretch. The swelling will go down and eventually instead of being to eat 1/4 cup of food, by 2 YEARS out more or less you might be able to get a cup down (8 oz.). It varies, but not to greatly. It depends on your physiology, how long the stomach is, etc. It cannot physically stretch to anything like the stomach's original size.

The feeling of being home is so great that I wanted to dance. I did dance :-) Make sure you have a small pillow or something to hug to yourself for the drive home. It helps a lot!

Thank you I can't wait to not be in pain and start working out !!

Amy, It will happen fast. Don't push working out too hard. Right now, walking and, at most, 2 pounds weights for your arms. I'd even say wait on the weights until your six week checkup unless your doctor gives you the green light earlier.

I'm just glad you're going home already!!
