Since I've been on solid foods I've gained about 4 pounds but I've been going to the gym almost everyday for 2 weeks now and I'm 4 weeks post op...its a bummer, but you gotta think long term. It'll come off even if it happens slowly. Stay active you'll do great!!

Thanks everyone! It really feels good!

I got my sleeve on july 21. I went to the doc yesterday and I've lost 17 lbs since my last doctor's visit which was a couple weeks before surgery! I'm super excited!

Hey. I've been wanting to go to the gym. But my energy level is zero! I took my two weeks ER. I'm just hoping I have the energy to do it for 12 hours and we lift and turn a lot of people.

Thanks thin!

Thanks Lauren!

I had my sleeve done six days ago and no one mentioned how much post op pain there was. I was in recovery acting a ass! I couldn't help it. It was unexpect and excrusiating(sorry I can't spell good). the nurse kept telling me she gave me meds but it was gas pain that's why's the meds didn't help...the walking around did help with the gas but later on in the day the pain subsided. I never really got higher than a 4 or 5 on the 0-10 pain scale. The drain removal the next day didn't necessarily hurt it just felt weird like a tube just being pulled from ur insides...I have only taken a couple doses of lortab since I've been home. The gas pain is no more pretty much and no other pain really.

Has anyone gotten rid of any health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes?

My doc says I'm supposed to have about 60g of protein a day. My powder is 20g a scoop 6 days post op and I'm only able to get 1, or 2 down at the most even tho its mixed with 6oz of liquid. I just don't drink because I'm not hungry and the stuff I can drink is gross and bland bc I'm still on clear liquids.

Hi! I'm Danielle.I'm 24 y/o and I had my vsg on july 21. I only stayed in the hospital 1 night because I was doing good. But when I got home I just started feeling bad. I get winded going up the basement stairs. My crushed meds r so gross I almost vomit when I take them. I am weak and sort of been dizzy the past couple of days. And I feel like I cannot focus and all I want to do is lay down. I'm kinda scared about feeling like this....is this normal?
