June 25th Sleevers? I need a buddy...

How much is everyone walking? I am getting up and walking around my house every hour-hour and a half. I'm still sore and didn't know if I wasn't doing enough and maybe that's why I am hurting so much..

Is anyone's incisions itching a whole lot? I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago and don't remember this much itching around my incisions.... I hope I didn't hurt it. Also the area around it is kinda hard to the touch. I don't want to scratch it and make it worse but it's driving me crazy!

I just got sleeved yesterday, and my husband was sleeved exactly a year before me. I remember when his incisions started itching and asked my doctor if there was anything I could take to relieve that. They said I could take Benadryl tablets or use Benadryl cream to help with that. Nice to know!

I'm walking around my house doing normal stuff but nothing beyond that. I live in AZ and its been too stinking hot to venture outside the house!

I did a load of laundry yesterday which a) wore me out and got me yelled at by hubby!

Just take it easy! You need time to heal.

I have been doing laps around my house with all rain we have had. Did 10 circles a couple times a day. Went to Walmart and walked around yesterday. Today I went outside and walked .7 of a mile.

So I've been on full liquids and I'm not hungry even though I still need to get in more fluids. I can move to pureed foods but feel I'm not ready. I'd like to stay on liquids until I get them all in. Does that make sense? I just don't want to move to the next stage without completing the one before.

I found out that I CAN go to the movies without popcorn and a Diet Coke!! Not quite the same, but doable! I will definitely be choosier about my movies when food isn't the primary reason for going:-)

Damn... I gotta get my butt moving! LOL.... I'm not doing any purposeful walking. That said I run errands and take my kids to the park and stuff. I think I'll start walking on a schedule and start on right like you guys!

12 days post op, down 17 lbs. But in the last two days I've gained 1.5 lbs. Don't know how still not getting enough Water or protein....uuugggh

Your body won't let any fluids or fat go if it thinks its starving or dehydrated. I gained 4 pounds post surgery without having anything oral for 6 days due to this fact. Once you increase your intake you will begin losing because your body will be ok with it. Hang in there!

Great info! I was sleeved June 24th. I lost 12 pounds but came to a standstill. I didn't gain but only lost ounces. After reading this post I clearly understand what's going on. I was getting my Protein in but Water intake was way off! Again Thanks!

I'm doing quite well. Getting in all my Water and Protein with no problem. I'm also walking 1-1.5 miles every day. I have lost 21 pounds sinve surgery. One of my incisions is taking a little longer to heal and I still have to sleep on my back and side but, other than that, I feel great. Hope everyone is doing well too!

Wish I saw this before I posted that new topic!
