Where my May 5th Sleevers at? Chime in please! One Week!

[Alicia_Anne 10]

So how did everyone do? I am so sore...but was discharged late Tuesday afternoon. Recovering at home. Hope you other May 5th folks are doing well!

Had mine on the 5th I'm doing good. I'm very tired didn't sleep at all at hosp. It's hard getting all liquids in. It feels like I'm eating and drinking all day. I did have a BM today. Which is surprising cuz u hear ppl saying they were constipated.

I got home yesterday. I was doing fine at the hospital but very sore now. I find it very difficult to get up and walk around- hope that passes soon. Trying my best to drink. Just took a very long shower and that helped.

I have been running a slight fever, my doc says I have to do more deep breathing to open up my lungs. Anyone else has this issue? I am sore, trying to get my liquids in and walking around the house every 3 hours. Can't wait to feel better.

I've been having a tough time too mostly due to the rumbling in my stomach every time i sip Water. Taking a short walk today made me feel better. Hope everyone is feeling a little better as time passes

Sounds like we are all in the same boat, which means this is all normal. I too had a slight fever. The rumble from down under is incredible. The pain was worse yesterday, but so far today it's much better! Also, my stomach was SOOOO swollen...looks like that's gone down a bit today too. This is our new beginning folks! We are going to be fine! Hope everyone has a better day today!

I feel like all I do is eat and drink all day.

Quick weight check: at start of preop diet 199, day before surgery 193, today's weight 190. Looks like things are moving along well. Also feeling better and excited to get out of the house today. My sister is taking me to mall to find a gift for Mother's Day . How is everyone else doing?

Y did u have surgery only weighing 199?

It makes sense if you also know my height, I'm 4'11 and considered obese.

[AR40 88]

Woohoo 187 today!

[Alicia_Anne 10]

Not to sound gross but have any of u gone number 2 yet?

I had mine on May 5th. Experiencing all you guys have listed. Suppose to go back to work tomorrow but I don't know yet. The gas pain is still so rough. Yes, I had bm this morning and not to be gross but I was thankful. When I had my hysterectomy I got constipated so I have prayed that wouldn't happen because that is the worse.

[csw8578 8]

My start weight was 215 but lost to 199.8 before surgery, weight today 189.4 I am 5'3" but have coexisting health issues.

Hi there, I too was done on May 5th but just fining your post now.

For me surgery was uneventful, and I am still on a full Fluid diet. Hard to get in all my Protein and Water but it is getting better everyday.

How are you making out!

Hello Fellow May 5th Sleevers. Just found this little group and am glad to be able to compare my progress with all of you. I had my surgery in the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford Mississippi. I am 68 years old, an Inflammatory Breast Cancer Survivor and am benefiting already from my sleeve!!! I am down 26 lbs since the pre-op diet and have found that the bone pain in my legs from chemo, radiation and steroids is fading fast!!! I couldn't walk 10 feet without pain. This morning...in 2 separate tries, I walked a mile!!! Yeah ME!!! Hoping to get rid of some of these meds I have taken for years and also put my CPAP machine in the closet!
