I was sleeved on the 18 th too! Congrats to u!!! I haven't passed any gas either. Had a few small burps but that was it. My pain has been more from gas and the bad headache I got from the morphine. They ended up giving me toradol and that helped much better than the morphine. Have u had any trouble keeping stuff down? I had 3 baby spoon worth of vanilla chobani yogurt when I got home and it slide right back up. I'm supposed to be doing all liquids and that includes Greek yogurt without bit of fruit in it; low fat cream Soups strained; sugar free pudding and jello... nothing feels good once I swallow. Wondering if my sleeve is still too swollen to handle anything other than liquids. I think I'm calling the nutritionist tomorrow just to check. I don't want to lose muscle mass or hair. Oh and have you tried gas x strips or chewables? I chewed up 2 today and it seemed to help get stuff moving. No gas out but it did help with a small bm. Tmi but hope it helps! Keep in touch. Love finding all these sleeve sisters!

I was sleeved on the 20th. Going for my first dr appt this afternoon. It will be the first time I am driving and out and about by myself. I am getting in more liquid than required and feeling pretty good, just feel a little weak sometimes. Is this normal?

I was also sleeved the 20th and at my first appt. I am still pretty weak also! I was getting ready and kept having to take breaks! It's been the first time though that I have felt like that. I have gotten out pretty much everyday since surgery and it wasn't this bad.

Fellow Dec. 18th Sleevers, had my doctors appt today. All is Fine and I return to work tommorow (no restrictions).Also I can excercise with no restrictions. I think it's too early but, I'm excited to start working out, and getting back to my work routine. Good luck too all.

Dang it, I'm definitely a slow loser. I have only lost 15 pounds since Dec 18th, when I was sleeved. Oh well. 15 is more than none. I'm heading to the doc tomorrow. Glad to have this mini group to check in with.
