NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted April 21, 2016 Doing really well... managed to reach my Fluid target... sleeping ok... surprisingly this is less painful than having the band. The only complaint is the heartburn... that is annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steph~L~16 168 Posted April 21, 2016 Doing awesome! Worst part for me was definitely the air last night but today I have been walking around a lot and feeling awesome. So surprised how little pain there is!! How is everyone else? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracie Martin 11 Posted April 22, 2016 Just got sleeved yesterday. Mine hasn't gone as smoothly. The pain was pretty high, but mostly in my back and shoulders which is apparently very common (comes from the gas the use to inflate you) and I had a hernia they had to repair that none of us knew about. I'm doing much better pain-wise now, but I can't keep down any liquids. It's upsetting. Doc sez its worse for me right now because of the hernia. I'm crossing my fingers I keep down this broth that's coming. They won't let me go home until ican tolerate fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taramarie523 116 Posted April 23, 2016 @Luckygirl8. Congrats to you on your journey. I will also be sleeved on 28 April. I am also in the pre-op diet which requires me to have 4 shakes, 2 Protein Bars, 1 banana or cup of skim milk, up to 4 servings of sugar free Jello and Popsicles. Has not been to bad, but I must say the best part of my day is the banana. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm being sleeved 4/28 also!

Jaez 10 Posted May 5, 2016 How is everyone going? Seems the mid april sleevers have gone quiet suddenly I'm actually doing pretty well. I had my sleeve done 4/26. I'm on a full liquid diet for 21 days and it's only day 8 for me. I gotta tell ya I'm pretty over liquids already. I drink half a Protein Shake for Breakfast, Soup for lunch and the other half of the Protein shake for dinner. I'm suppose to get 2 Protein Shakes a day but it's hard. Started taking chewable vitamins so that's helping with my energy. Haven't really started working out yet just catching up to chores around the house. Um let's see what else. My bandages started falling off well 2 out of 4 of the incision sites. I'm pretty surprised at how small the scar is but guess that's a plus. I'm really just trying to hang in there. I had someone ask me if I'm losing weight they said my face seemed slimmer. Was pretty excited about that I just replied I'm trying, with a smile.

NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted May 5, 2016 Thats good to hear..... I had mine on the 20th... its amazing how much easier its become to get my Protein and liquids in... I'm lucky i guess, we started pureed the day we got discharged... I've tried all meats (pureed) and am not having any issues with them. Its actually a lot easier than expected... i hear how most people are struggling, but i havent got any of the issues that anyone talk of. The only thing, i expected to lose much more, but i guess because im a "lightweight" it'll be alot slower for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
