Thanks!

I was sleeved the 8th. So funny because I am sleeping in a recliner too. I still have pain in my neck, shoulders and back. I also had hernia repair. Everything else going good. The only thing I found I can't tolerate has been tilapia and avocado. Go figure. I also have to use crystal light or Water drop enhancers because water tastes bad to me

Hello everyone!

I was sleeved on 7/6 and as far as my body goes, I feel pretty good. I was up walking around as soon as I came out of the anesthesia and it wasn't as bad as I thought. The incisions didn't bother me as much as a the gas pains, those were terrible. As of now I am not on any Protein shakes, I wasn't tolerating them. Anything I eat or drink causes a severe pain in my stomach, as if it is contracting. The PA thought I needed to poop but that wasn't the issue. I am a little bummed about my experience so far but as of now I regret nothing.

I cramped as well when I drank but it got better after about four days. I just pushed through hoping that the new pouch would adjust. I was told not to get scared or tense up.

I hope you get better soon.

I am mobile and I don't know how to quote. @vsg_Ima thanks for telling me your experience. The doctor said the same thing as well, that it would get better in a few days but that was a week ago :/ I have my post op appointment tomorrow so I am hoping that there is something he can do about it then.

Sleeved on 7/13 how long does it take to heal? I feel like I'm dying EVERYTIME I stand up

I felt better after day 5 with inscions but I still have some soreness in two of them.

Hi all,

Had my 10 day post op with my surgeon today! He said I was doing great, but needed to get more calories in. From my tracking on Fitness Pal, my days went from 240-380. He wants me to raise that before he gives the okay for me to start at the gym. And hopefully it help with the tiredness.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to be out of the threes and into the twos!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Soooo..... How is everyone?? I am just now on pure liquid Soups and can start "mushies" next week. Feeling great... A little slow on the weight loss but I am fine with it....it's still coming off. Hope all are doing well!!

My recovery hasn't been easy. Feeling very weak and get tired out doing the most simple things like taking a shower. I didn't start shakes until week three which was this past Monday and that's helped some but I'm not anywhere near where I thought I would be stamina wise at this point. I can have eggs and cheese now too so I'm hoping by next week I will feel more human.

Also I got thrush from the antibiotics in the hospital so I've been dealing with that. It's caused some nausea. I've lost 28lbs so far.

So sorry you are having problems! I had to go bacK to work last Tuesday so it's been work for almost 2 weeks now. I think the Protein Shakes were a huge help with me as far as stamina. Hang in there... At least you have lost a good amount! I will say a prayer for you.

I hope you feel better soon and the added food choices give you a bit more energy! Congrats on your weight loss!

Hugs and prayers to you!
