SleekSleever 14 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm 4 days post op. I feel much better today. Pain was the worst on day 3. It's been really hard getting Protein and fluids in. I feel like I'm sipping constantly and I still can't meet goals. I've also had diarrhea since I got home from the hospital. I'm a little worried about that. But...I've lost 9 pounds! ????

eashin1 1 Posted February 16, 2015 I'm a February sleever but I had mine February of 2014. You all have the same concerns I had. My surgeon only required I follow the pre-op diet the day before surgery. I'm 5'5" tall and my starting weight was 243. I'm currently 154 and hope to lose another 20 pounds. It's so worth it.

ninnifer44 16 Posted February 19, 2015 I had the sleeve 2.11.15. I'm surprised how ok this liquid diet has been. I'm trying to focus on getting my 64 Oz in which just seems impossible. Sipping is so hard to adjust to, but I pay the price when I take in gulp. 12 lbs down in 7 days, I'm pretty excited! Ready for an exciting future.

SleekSleever 14 Posted February 19, 2015 I was sleeved one week ago today. It's been harder than I thought it would be. It's impossible to get in the 64oz of fluids. I feel like I will be drowning if I take another sip. I'm down 13 lbs so I'm very happy about my progress. Any recommendations for unflavored Protein Powder that dissolve easily? I'm not having much luck. Everything I've used clumps up. Icky!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☁️9⃣B???? 55 Posted February 19, 2015 Sleeksleever Why don't you try the Isopure RTD (ready to drink) Water, but unfortunately it's flavored... They have grapefrost, orange, blueberry... But try orange! It's tastes much better... Wishing you a whole lotta luck in taking in fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thick2thin 33 Posted February 19, 2015 I was sleeved yesterday morning in Tijuana. I'm currently in the recovery room. My initial weight was 226. And when they weighed me yesterday before my sleeve, I weighed in at 210. So pretty much, in the 10 day pre op liquid diet, I lost 16 pounds. I was in a lot of pain yesterday and was constantly gagging. Today, there's been no more gagging and very little pain! I can walked around with ease. My mouth and throat has been super dry since I woke up from the surgery yesterday, but finally, they have me some ice chips. And boy I could never have been so thankful! Ps: as they were pushing me out of surgery room into my recovery room, I noticed a lady sitting in the lobby of the "obesity goodbye center" today. I was wondering of any of you lovely ladies on here in that lady?? I came to Tijuana by myself so I'm just looking for some company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
