Had My Surgery Tuesday August 25th

[KathyRS 29]

Wow! It looks like we are having a pretty big range of experiences. I have had more pain than most here are talking about, but no nausea. I had to go back to work yesterday, but only Tuesday and Thursday. I teach at a community college. Found out I just can't teach sitting, so I had a very active day, and today I'm both more tired and more sore. I lost 10 lbs, on the 10 day pre-surgery diet, and 7 lbs as of yesterday. So a pound a day, which is awesome! I really feel for the people who haven't lost! How frustrating!! I did think the post surgery diet would be easier. I had heard people talk about just not being interested in food, but I'm yearning for food and flavors.

Hi I had my surgery on August 26th and lost 10lbs so far.

I am not feeling any pain except when I eat my Protein meals which are mainly scrambled eggs or tuna with mayo I love the strawberry protein shakes..my heart beats faster after I eat not sure why...maybe my body is working too hard to digest. I go back to work next week.

Hey everyone. I was sleeved the 31st and am doing pretty good. No nausea not really any pain. I do tire easily and I'm happy to home so I actually get rest. Been drinking my liquids and my tummy likes to Rumble about it but no vomiting. So far so good. Goodluck everyone.

Hi everyone! Hard to believe it's been over a week now. My only complaint is a rash that has appeared on many places over my body. From the forum it sounds like this does happen sometimes. Otherwise energy level is below average but remarkably good for 1 week out. Getting Protein and liquids in no problem. Healing very nicely. I look forward to reading your updates!

Not doing Protein yet...just Clear Liquids

You gotta get your protein in too though. It'll help you feel better over all. Try Isopure drinks or powders or the unflavored protein by companies like Unjury.< /p>

Im not eating real food yet the egg and puréed tuna with mayo my doctor is early as far as eating Proteins but I think the egg is too much I didn't feel good tuna is ok I feel ok..

What a roller coaster this is with the friggin liquids. I cannot get them down. I was starving since day after surgery. Getting most of the Protein in. I ate a piece of cheese and a cracker last night and it threw me on the floor with terrible pain and I couldn't breathe!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to all of you! I'm still working through my 7 nutrition visits I have to have to get my sleeve. I'm looking at January 2016. It's great to hear about your experiences.

I had my one week appt. today and I am down 10 pounds. It hasn't been a totally easy week, but if gets better every day. I went back to work after one week and I was able to do it. Was really nervous since I am a teacher and on my feet a lot.

@Dd12Congrats on the losing the lbs!! Don't over do it!

[mimorison 12]

For the ones that went back to work in 1 week congrats... I'm 1w1d and went out to get my nails done and felt very weak specially walking from my car to the store in the heat of south Florida ..I can't imagine working all day..

@leanor I don't think you can't eat cracker? Maybe that's why

U felt so sick after?

[lealor 127]

whats up with this heart/throat burn? Any one experience this? And I cannot get my fluids in every day....
