January 21 Sleevers...how's your progress so far?

[#Redy4chg.org 40]

At this point I'm 4 days post op. I was able to do full liquids today. Had some heartburn and pain in my abdomen last night. Only been queasy once yesterday after I got home. I haven't lost any significant weight yet. Just ounces every day. I'm struggling with head hunger.

How are any new Sleevers doing?

I was sleeved on the 21st too. I'm doing pretty good but I'm still having gas pains. I can't really bend over either because it hurts which makes drying myself after a shower hard. I have been on full liquids for 2 days, I'm not getting as much in as I should but I'm trying, I just get so full! I haven't had problems with head hunger except when I briefly craved lamb shanks haha.

I haven't weighed myself yet but I will tomorrow morning.

I experienced a bit of heartburn once but nothing that concerned me.

How are you going with getting your liquids in?

They told us to actually expect some weight GAIN post op until several days out because of all the fluids they give you and the swelling etc going on.

It takes a long time for me to finish anything. I keep gulping and that us causing pain in my chest. I can't bend over either or try to lift anything. I have to keep my toddler from running into my stomach or laying on my stomach. That hurts the incisions.

I had mine on the 21st and have been doing ok...full fluids, struggling to get all of it in with protien but its improving. Get a lot of belching when I've drank too much, but other than that no head hunger or any kind for that matter. I guess I'm too afraid to mess my sleeve up...ill go as slow as I need to. It's cost me too much to mess it up.

Hey. I had my surgery on the 21st as well. I'm doing well. I am trying to get as much liquid in as possible. Today I drank about 3/4 of a Protein Shake and Water. I am struggling with head hunger but I just say I cant have food and push the thoughts aside. It is definitely difficult though. Im in almost no pain and my bandages on my incisions are starting to fall off and I am shocked how tiny they are but they look good. Hope everything is looking up for you all as well.

I had my surgery the 21st also. I'm not struggling with head hunger, for me its I see it I want to eat it! I've been on liquids and still having liquid out issues lol. I know I'm not getting enough to eat as far as Vitamins and Protein, but I just can't fit it all in there! After these four days I am finally back down to my per surgery weight! I walk 2 miles a day and have virtually no pain. No heartburn(never had it before). All in all I'm doing pretty good!
