lovely momma 28 Posted January 29, 2014 I am just had my surgery yesterday . Today I am up and around with hardly much pain. I was so scared and anxiety for months before the surgery. I had Dr. Alvarez do it. He is great and his surgical technique is right on. I have a very low pain tolerance and I am doing great. 1 A_ReNUDE_me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A_ReNUDE_me 148 Posted January 30, 2014 Been a while since I showed my BP pals some love...I'm 10 days out doing really good with my sleeve. Taking it day by day. I pray all is well with you all. (All who have been sleeved this month and all that are still waiting in line). So excited to be on this journey with each of you! Cheers to us for taking this big leap and re-claiming our lives!

spazdd 20 Posted February 2, 2014 I had mine done on the 30th. The 31st was the worst day due to nausea. Biggest complaint is weakness and tired. Started Vitamins today hope it helps. Getting liquids in with no problem. I can say everyday I feel better. Family support is the key. I normally am one controlling everything. Letting someone else take the reins for awhile is helping me. This site has been a lifesaver. Thanks so much for sharing. I read them all. Hope to be able to help someone too.

lovely momma 28 Posted February 16, 2014 I am getting enough fluids but not enough Protein. The shakes make me sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-love 28 Posted February 16, 2014 I feel you with the shakes. I have to mix mine with milk. That's the only way I can stomach them and it actually tastes good with milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlm59 16 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi tomorrow I'm 5 weeks out! Went back to work Friday for a few hours. I'm still not getting enough calories or Protein in but trying. I went to the movies with the family today and had a tiny bit of popcorn. I'm so full! Don't think I'll be doing that again to soon protein is much more important! I'm thrilled not having my lap-band any longer! I had it for 8 years 2 totally unfilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
