I had my surgery on 11/22. I got out of hospital on 11/24. They kept me the extra day because of pain. They wanted to be sure it was gas pain, which it was. I've been eatting greek yogurt, my Protein Shake and popsicles. Been kerping everything down. Its to cold to walk outside so i walk laps n my house. My first appointment is on December 2nd. I am on full liquids right now. I havent had a bowel movement. I have tons of gas.

Jen- You have to walk. And walk. And walk some more. Instant gratification. It hurts to get up but once you start walking you feel better. I promise!

yes it does help, but I can only walk so much before I'm beat. I wish it would just pass already.

Can you take Extra Strength Maalox? They gave me about 2 oz. in the hospital the day I had gas that kept me hospitalized an extra 1 1/2 days.

I was in so much pain 2 nights ago, I drank tea I walked, I took gas X, nothing helped. I put a pillow on my bloated belly and laid face down, only relief I had for hours. I slept like that, woke up and pain was gone. Passed some gas yesterday, but wasn't able to GO until tonight. Whew! So, I week post op and gas pain and bloating gone. Sorry, TMI I know, but wanted to give an end story to anyone struggling with gas pains.

Kelly you should get New Whey Liquid Protein shots. 42 grams of protein in each one, and you can mix it with water. 2 a day, Only way I'm getting over 70 grams my doc wants in right.

I had my surgery Nov.5th so far I'm fine down 37lbs. I still have a problem with being so tired but I've learned after I get in some Protein I start to perk up a bit. Just looking forward to the positive changes my body will make. So far my sleeve actually likes healthier options.

November 19th here...woot woot

how are you doing we both had same day

[tddonnell67 57]

How's everyone's progress so far. I was sleeved nov 6th and down 26lbs so far. That is including my preop diet. I'm having a hard time getting in enough Fluid. I only get in about 43oz a day and that is if I include my Protein Shake. Also I worry I'm not getting enough calories. My day consists of a Protein shake, a Protein Bar, and maybe a few bites of chicken or refried Beans. I'm meeting my protein goal but that is only because of the protein shake and bar. Nothing tastes good. I'll make something to eat but then just can't stand to eat it. I know not meeting my daily goals is preventing me from losing faster but I keep trying.

I'm going through the same thing. I was sleeved on 11/26 and I'm down 30 lbs including pre op diet. I'm still on full liquids but I'm not getting enough fluids in. I know I didn't get enough calories in yesterday. I just don't have an appetite. I haven't even had my Protein Shakes because the one I've been using is making me sick to my stomach. I ordered Unjury protein shakes and I'm waiting for it to come in. I hope they are better. I have a follow up appt. today with my doctor so let's see what he says.

Hi November Sleevers! I was sleeved on Nov 27. Surgery went well. Although I did vomit 4 times after surgery due to the anesthesia. Once the nurses got that under control, everything was fine. Did not have a catheter nor a drain. Stayed in the hospital for 2 1/2 days.

Had my post op appt with surgeon and now on puréed foods. Living on scrambled eggs with cheese, tuna fish, cod, cottage cheese, yogurt with no fruit pieces, creamy Soups, strained, etc. not really feeling "hunger".

I've lost almost 25 lbs so far (including pre op diet).

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy Holidays!!!

Hello Nov Sleevers. I had my surgery 11/18. I'm down 23 pounds including pre op diet. I've been stalled the last week and a half, since going back to work. I know I'm not getting enough Fluid. But it's frustrating! I'm starting my workouts tomorrow, that's got to help. Anybody else hit a stall yet?

Hi Jen! I was sleeved on 11/19. I am also only down 22pounds since pre op and surgery . I have not lost any weight in almost two weeks. I am getting a little nervous about it but I keep chugging forward . Eating right .. Going to the gym. Don't have to go back to work until the new year. This stall has been awful! I just keep hoping it will end soon !
