Sleeved on 4/12, day of surgery weight was 331. 269 as of this morning! No problems whatsoever... Getting use to the proper way to eat though has been a chore. Glad to see all the losers, keep it going!

Sleeved 4/12 and 21 pounds down as of this morning. Puts me at 309 and my first goal of being under 300 for the first time in 12 years is almost there! Great to hear others progress...

My sleeve is the same. Room temp or warm liquids. I'm one week post op. Are you having trouble getting your liquids in? And yes walk walk walk... Good luck on your new beginning!

I am a week out as well and I have some off and on pain in the middle low incision. Ironically it's the only one that is bruised. No other pain though... I believe it's typical to have pain somewhere after your body goes through that.

Ya I did here and there, but I felt good enough. I know I need to be cool about it, but I feel great. My fiancé was none too happy when she looked out the back door! hahaha

In Mexicali on day 3... Only pain I've had at all is this freaking drain tube. Once it's out I will be thrilled. I had some nausea the first night but none since. Walk walk walk and u will get everything moving. I had the shoulder pain on day one but my wife put pressure on the spot and it subsided. Everything has went great. We walked a few blocks yesterday outside in the nice warm weather. Dr. Aceves and his staff are wonderful and u only need to know a hint of Spanish for the evening shift. Get the " I translate " app if you have an iPhone... They appreciate it! Have an X-ray this morning and get my drain out so I am looking forward to that. Strength is back today as well. Pre-op was the 11th and surgery the 12th. I go home the 15th

All went great... Only pain I have is my drain. The entire experience thus far has been better than expected!

Ok first full day and the worst of it has been my drain. Took some nausea and pain meds through the night. Other than that I've been walking like crazy and trying to take in my fluids as much as possible. Everyone is very nice and they know how to stick u! Hahaha

Back in my room! Other than my legs taking their sweet time to wake up from the morphin shot, I feel pretty good. Feel like someone punched me in the sternum, but that was expected. Feeling fantastic!!!! No pain meds right now but may take them for bed time... Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes...
