November 2018 Sleevers!?!?

[jesseycakes 103]

when were you sleeved?
I don’t live in the states, we don’t have SF gatorade or crystal lite where I live but I shall look for substitutes. I don’t experience the chest tightness when i’m full, I just start to feel a bit nauseated and that’s when I stop. but when i think about it, it seems like I can have a few more bites of food so i’m thinking this may not really be my cue to stop... i’m too scared to find out though haha.

Do they have G2 (Gatorade 2)? That's what I have to drink because I'm so dehydrated. It had half the sugar of regular. Also, I don't know if they have Wal-Mart's where you are, I'm not sure where you live, but they have drink mixes like Crystal light. 5 cals, sugar free.< br>

we only have regular gatorade and there’s no Walmart, sadly (I live in Dubai)

We do have pocari sweat though, I was wondering if anyone on here knows of it or has consumed it post op...

11/8, one month out today. It gets a wee bit easier every day.

Hi! Yes I do have some anti nausea meds, but am worried I’d be taking them every 6 hours lol. I have Isopure Protein Powder, unflavored. But just thinking of everything else makes me nauseous. 😭

Every six hours would be a lot! I have not tried Isopure, but if it is a clear, maybe you could mix it with some crystal light. I just started using GENEPRO and it is nice to be able to mix it in my crystal light..that way I am getting Protein and liquid at the same time:)

I looked up Pocari Sweat and the problem, I think, is that sugar is the first ingredient. Can you order from Amazon.com? They ship to UAE.

18 days post op and still having major soreness in my 2 large incisions.
One hurts when I basically do anything, bend, twist ect. The other is just a random sharp burning/pulling pain occasionally.
I'm not sure if this is normal to still be having pain [emoji30]
These are the 2 main incisions that we're sewn to muscle.

I had my surgery on the 29 November my scale hasn't moved since the 6 day where I had lost 8 lbs will see if it has moved today. I also didn't think I would stall so early, but they say it's part of the process, so I'm trying to be patient.

I was on the day after you on the 30th, only checking my weight once a week I reckon checking day to day will drive me crazy. Lost 10pounds on week one so will see what week two has in store. Hopefully the scale is still moving :s

Also uve lost a load of weight already relatively so give it time more will come the stats are for once on your side

Sorry that's happened to you, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one. I've been stalled for 10 days now (started 3 days post op) - it blows my mind. Having it happen right after surgery is the worst, that's right when we could really use the motivation of seeing the scale drop

I had my surgery on 11/26. Lost 11lbs, then for the last 4 or 5 days, nothing. You're not alone. But it suuuuucks.

Hang in there it has to get better

Mine went up 3 pounds on Monday. I attributed it to time of month coming soon and lack of BM.. I resolved issue number 2 ( haha no pun intended) and it went down a pound.. then this morning i stepped on the scale AFTER drinking a 16.9 ounce bottle of Protein Water and was down another pound. I am wondering if i was on a stall, broke it.. or whatnot. I will check again tomorrow. Issue #1 has not self resolved and i was sleeved 31 days ago.. (last time it arrived was night before surgery).. Hopefully i get back on track soon.
