Any February 2014 Sleevers?

That pain from coughing can be nasty. That may be what caused my pain in my ribs. I originally thought it was trapped gas. I only worried about a possible clot after the calf pain started. I am not having a terrible recovery, however this is the toughest time I have bad recovering from an operation. This is the third time many of my incisions were used for a laparoscopic procedure and I had so much trouble waking up from anesthesia that its just been harder than I'm used to.

Ok, I just got on and I almost freaked out reading what was going on. Seriously. Thank goodness you are all right. I was scared for you. You better take it easy and get all your fluids and I won't come kick your butt.

Just keep swimming, Dory!

I just went for a walk with hubs, baby, dogs and best friend. I'm hoping she will be following me in this journey so I invited her to walk with us. We walked a mile and I feel great. And since I had to go to the ER I took my Water with me so I am almost at my 64 oz of water. I feel much better now that I have had some rest and a walk.

Yes. We have a gorgeous walking trail/bike path behind my parents house. I love taking Becca for walks there. When I'm feeling better I will be doing that every day! But for now I can't take her on my own.

I had my surgery on Monday 2/10. Everything is going great. I am not in pain and am able to get my liquids down. My only problem is the Vitamins and Calcium. I can't get them down without throwing up. I gave up on the calcium and just try to get one Vitamin in a day. I know these are important but I don't want to throw up. Anyone else have problems?

It's hard, but its going to be worth it! See this time a a way to test how it will be post-op! You can do it!

Since starting my pre-op diet on Friday I've lost 6 lbs! I'm so excited! It's tough at times, especially at work, but I haven't cheated! Just 5 more days of super low calorie diet and 3 days of clear liquid diet then I get my new tiny stomach pouch!

How much Protein are you getting? Can you eat sf pudding, yogurt, or Soups?

[bodie602 16]

I'm getting in my Protein from the Protein Shakes. I can have 4 a day but other than that only Clear Liquids.

Ahhh. That kinda stinks. Yogurt and pudding have kept me from going crazier. Haha

LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me.

So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down.
