I'm feeling pretty good. No nausea. I'm drinking tons of Water and taking my pills. Only thing I don't like is giving myself blood thinner injections. Haha.

Hello guys,

I also had my surgery on the 7th. I am on phase 2 of liquids. I am so tired of shakes. How are you guys doing?

[nsgirl 16]

One week out and feeling much better. I too, am already tired of the shakes. It’s tough to get the Water in as well! I go tomorrow to have my staples removed.
How much time do you guys have off of work?

[Newlif 3]

I don’t have any staples. They used a kind a glue. I think it will fall off. I have more troubled drinking the shakes then Water. I have until nov 22nd during my post surgery appointment for now. Doctor gave me a note for 4 weeks. My work kind of freaked out. What kind of Vitamins are you using?

[nsgirl 16]

I am using the Flinstones chewable ones for now lol! I have some other ones to start once healed more, but for now just those ones.

I went back to work today. It was a bit tiring but doable.

As for Vitamins, I was told not to worry about them for the first couple weeks as I'm on liquids. Same with Protein. Just try not to get dehydrated. I think I'm going to try the 3+3 vitamins. They have everything you need, including both Calcium and Iron as they use a form of calcium that doesn't bind to the iron. You take 3 pills in the morning and 3 in the evening, they apparently taste like sweet tarts. They're a bit pricey, being around $60 CAD a month... but if it means I don't have to take 5 different types of vitamins, it may be worth it.

One week out and I'm feeling pretty good. See my surgeon tomorrow and see what he has to say. Lost 22 lbs. Total since beginning of my 2 week liquid diet till now. My energy level is getting better also.

[Newlif 3]

My surgery was the 6th and I’ve lost 10 lbs so far but I constantly feel like I’m starving :/

Hi there

I was also sleeved Nov 7th

I'm doing alot better now but day 2, 4 and 7 were the worst with pain and hitting the wall in regards to energy level. I'm still not hungry but getting a comfortable nights sleep doesn't exist anymore.

I have lost about 10 lbs since surgery, 20 total since starting pre -op. I am taking a medication to prevent gallstones and just read that the primary side effect is weight gain [emoji15]. So, I am feeling like taking the medication is counter productive, but I also don’t want gallstones too! Frustrating to say the least. I don’t each much in the run of a day and am really struggling with the Water daily but am trying. I managed to get up to 4000 steps total yesterday. Each day I slowly start to feel a little better. Congrats on the weight loss everyone!
