A bit sore with gas but so glad to be home and have this journey finally started. These gas pains are not fun. Seem to be tolerating Water and shakes well. Gonna take my meds and go to sleep for awhile. Hope all is going well for all my surgery buddies!

Became the luckiest person ever and had my surgery moved up from Aug. 15 to this past Thurs, Aug. 4. Only one day of liquid pre-op diet vs. 2 weeks of it (but I did diet and lose 20 lbs over past two months). Surgery went exceptionally well, and went under at boo and was discharged same day right after 6 pm with little pain and no narcotic pain meds. I had three procedures done at the same time: lap-band removal, hiatal hernia repair, and sleeve. I'm on third day post-op and I can finally sleep comfortably on my side and feel hardly any soreness from incision sites. Challenge is getting required fluids (only getting 30-40 oz per day) and Protein (only getting around 30g per day). I've dropped 3 pounds so far and will probably lose more once the extra Fluid from surgery is gone. I'm so excited for the future and so far don't regret my sleeve at all!

My day almost here august 11th

Hello AUGUST SLEEVERS!!! Just sleeved on August 4th... Last Thursday ! Days 1 & 2 is no joke but everyday since is better and better. My biggest recommendation is to set and alarm and get up and walk every 2 hours....I did laps in my house ... This is to get rid of the gas they blow ya up with to do the surgery and it is your biggest culprit to feeling better quicker and eliminating pain! Take it from this old nurse ... this will be one of the biggest gifts you'll ever give yourself. 6th day and I feel great... Feel free to ask any questions and GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY JOURNEY!!!

Hi There,

I was sleeved on August 3rd 2016. I'm just over a week out, and I've lost 9lbs. The full liquid stage is going well, except I am getting really sick of Protein powder. It's trial and error as to how much you can add when you're not making a smoothie... I've ruined a few sugar free puddings and a Soup.
