6 Days Post-Op; Update!

[justmeandmysleeve 91]

I am officially 6 days post-op and weighed myself for the first time since surgery this morning. I really wanted to wait until I lost most of the swelling. I was in a lot of pain and I didn't want to add depression if I hadn't lost anything yet.

Well, I have lost 15 pounds in 6 days! I cannot express how excited I am. I have had a rough few days, but I am feeling so encouraged and ready to take on the world! I am so thankful that there is a procedure like the sleeve that can give me my life back!

Praise God!

Grats to you girl.. We share the same surgery date I weigh every morning when I wake up and I love it. I have gone from 301 - 288 since July 18th.

How are you feeling physically ? I am doing very well getting my Water down and I drink nectar Protein shake, about 8 oz so far per day. I tried pudding but i chest quickly told me no, that isnt gonna work lol I think the pain will keep me in line for sure.

Keep up the good work , I will follow your success <3

Congrats to you! I'm jealous since I had gained 6 lbs after I came home from Surgery. But I did weigh again yesterday and lost the six plus 3 more pounds. How much fluids are you all getting in? I feel kind of weak but started Protein Drinks today and feel better.

That is awesome! Doesn't it solidify your decision? I definitely had buyers remorse for the first few days, I was in a lot of pain.

I have been on the treadmill everyday (since Monday) for about 20-30 minutes. Today was the best day for sure. I'll be back to work on Monday!!! I am getting really sick of the Protein shakes, everything tastes so darn sweet. What else are you trying?

I've been setting a timer and every 10 minutes take another few sips, that is the only way I've been able to keep up with the water.....64 oz is ALOT! My surgeon recommended blending up minestroni Soup and sprinkling parmesean on top of it. That was much more exciting then the shakes. I added a little unflavored Protein powder to make the Soup better for me.

I am excited about this journey! Congratulations!!!

I am trying to drink Water every 10 minutes, I set a timer and once it buzzes I sip a few times. I think today was the first day I'll reach 64 oz. It is really a full time job getting all of the liquids in!

What other liquids have you tried? Congrats!!!
