Went for my first "walk" for exercise today! Nice walk in the country to the creek and back. Hard to quench my thirst so I just poured the water bottle over my head to get some relief (I'm in tx and it is HOT). Felt good to exercise.

Lmao! Now that's a way to cool off!

I was sleeved on Aug 28...I have stomach pains when I eat which makes it really uncomfortable. I also can't stand cold drinks but they are my favorite, especially since its so hot. I am already sick of the liquid diet thin and ready to move on to some REAL food. If I can at least get some seafood soon I will be satisfied. Other than those complaints I'm good. I went for my post op yesterday, 1 day shy of a week and I was already down 14.5lbs!!!

I feel your pain! I was sleeved on the 26th and can't wait to meet with the surgeon and move on to "pureed" foods- i want real food too! This liquid thing is not making me feel satisfied- i feel sooooo hungry!!! I've been religiously following the doctors orders as well and don't believe i've lost that much weight either :/ and i feel hungry!

I am also looking forward to sleeping in my own bed!!! I haven't been able to lie down comfortably and have to sleep propped up, much easier to do this on the couch so that's where I have been since Friday, the day I was released. Also, I know we aren't supposed to use straws but I find that it makes my liquids go down much easier!!!

I was on August 23rd. Feeling good but found out today that I have pneumonia!

I was sleeved on August 29th. I don't really have any pain from my incisions. I've been walking and climbing a flight of stairs a few times a day for exercise. Then on Monday evening, I started getting these horrible pains in my lower back. The only thing that takes the edge off is walking and laying down is a nightmare. I've never had any back problems before so I really don't know what's happening. It's like being in full blown labor. It gets worse at night so I haven't been sleeping either. I went back to my doc and they did blood and urine tests but all is clear. Anybody have an idea what this could be?

Hi everyone!

I was sleeved 8/28. I'm on the mushy foods part of my journey and I struggle to get enough Protein daily.

My incisions are all healing nicely, no infection,drainage of any kind, but I have some serious muscle pain in the largest incision.

i have yet to find a Protein Powder i like, so I've stuck to the Isopure drink, but I'm getting tired of it to the point that its a chore to get it down. i ordered some unflavored powder that i plan to sprinkle onto everything...not sure if that's unrealistic but its a good way to help meet my daily protein requirements in addition to what i already get in.

I'm appreciating mushy foods...so much better than liquids - have found some really tasty recipes that I'm so excited to try.

Has anyone experienced a change in flavors since surgery? Everything is just too sweet! i have to Water things down just to tolerate them. Things I used to love, like yogurt, are nearly intolerable!

I haven't had those, but I have a friend who has a friend whose dr said it was from losing weight so fast. Something about a change in the center of gravity? I hope it resolves for you as back pain is the worst.......Hang in there!!!

Sleeved on the 29th and drain comes out this afternoon! Each day seems to be easier. Taking it day by day.

[wifeofdes 33]

This may be a dumb question but what is this "drain" that everyone keeps taking about?

[Mookster 7]

The drain is a flexible tube draining from the surgery area out to a flexible plastic bulb that is on the outside of your body. It drains fluids and blood...some doctors do this, others don't.

Hi all... I was sleeved on 17th aug and I feel fine apart from slightly dehydrated. I'm struggling to get anything down n keep it down apart from bits of Water. I don't feel hungry at all I feel constantly full and bloated but just worried I should be having more n keeping it down by now also trying hard to get more fluids down as I feel so dehydrated all the time but with not drinking so long before n after you eat it's easier to not eat and just keep trying to drink?!
