Hi Everyone!

This site is so motivating. Whenever I'm having somewhat of a hard day I log on and yall make me feel much better with all your positive vibes and encouragement. My surgery was 2/26/2015. It was a painful first couple days but I am doing pretty good now. I have my follow up this Friday, hoping to get back on my exercise routine soon.

It's 3 days post op and I feel soooo much sore and the gas doesn't seem to leave me alone.... I have not been drinking as per my needs, I feel like if I sip more I will vomit and I can't sip frequently either.... It's incredibly difficult to get anything inside of me.... Can you suggest what needs to be done here?

[sallyomalley67 77]

Walk walk.walk pumpkin. It will relieve the gas much quicker. I have also heard that if u sip while standing it may be easier. Everything is a bit swollen for u right now. It will all calm down soon.

Where is the gas pain at?

[ninnifer44 16]

Yes, make yourself walk. I drink warm Water and it goes down much better. Every day you will get like 5% better. Hang in there, at 2 weeks you should feel almost 100%. Keep positive and sleep it off.

Hi girls... I feel like my health is getting better by the minute????????

So rite, everybody I get better by 5%, hoping to hit the 2 week mark soon enough....

It's been 4days since the sleeve and I have lost 4 pounds.... Good or bad?

Gas feels better now and food goes down easy as well.

Thankyou all you for the kind words????

[sallyomalley67 77]

Oh that is sooo good to hear Cloud 9! I wondered if u were able to get rid of the gas pain. So good to hear you are holding down liquids better too! 4lbs is great! They pump u full of fluids before you leave so u prob lost more than u realized.

[sallyomalley67 77]

I made it thru Day 1 back at work. Im now ready for coma to commence. Only i truly need to get my Protein and more fluids in. Soooo tired tho. Hugs all. Hope you are all doing well!

Sallyomalley67,

Have a wonderful work day.... Yes Protein is key to healing and energy.

I remember in elementary school studying 'protein is the building blocks of energy' I feel energy/life/body pretty much everything....

Sip... Sip... Sip...

How's everybody doing with their sleeves?????

I m doing soooo much better, everyday the health gets better... It's 12days post op, in another 2days I m gonna jump to puréed stage kinda excited about that???? been craving chicken and meat!!

How did you guys last the puréed stage? Any exciting recipes for that stage? With chicken

Do let me know...

Love to all my fellow Sleevers ????

[sallyomalley67 77]

Yay! That stage is def exciting! Lol

Doing well. Hit a stall for about 10 days but moving again.

Sallyomalley67

15 pounds down and now 1 week of no weight loss.... Is that a stall???

[sallyomalley67 77]

Eh. I call it a pause. LOL

Im losing again. I upped my calories (added a yogurt or cheese stick) and that seemed to get my losing to start back up. ????

[sallyomalley67 77]

If i dont walk I dont lose. I have figured that out. Movement is required lol

[ninnifer44 16]

Same here, more I move the faster it melts away! So nice to know it's not coming back, only loosing more in the future!
