Aww i remember this 1st days. Currently will be 6months out in a few days. I did chicken broth, sugar free Jello, Apple Sauce & protein shakes (as meal replacements)

Time will fly trust me! I also got my surgery done through Kaiser. Got referred April 2011 & started August 2011 with the 12wk pre-op courses. Saw my surgeon in Jan 2012 and got operated Feb. 14, 2012 currently a little over 3 months post-ops and down 64lbs. Good Luck!

Just got this too about an hour ago...

Thats really good. I'm exactly 50lbs down (post ops) kind of on a little stall but i can bare that. hahaha

3 months post ops & down 50lbs! How are my fellow Valentine Day Sleevers doing?

Congrats! I was put on a 1 week strict diet, and 2 days prior to surgery liquid diet. Good Luck!

Same here was banned from sodas

i went away from straight liquids 9 days after surgery. Straight to mushy foods. This Friday i'll be moving to next phase of foods hopefully. Good Luck

How's my Valentines Day sleevers progress going so far? So far down 27lbs since surgery day. Dropped 2 shirts sizes & went from a size 50waist to a 44waist. Feeling good!

Great! Best Wishes

That's great! had mine done 5 days after you. Valentines Day down 27lbs., 2 shirt sizes & down 3 pant sizes (50 to 44)

Ive been back 6 days since surgery. Stay hydrated. I noticed my 1st day back i was a little light headed & felt woozy. Emailed my Dr. and was told to stay hydrated and make sure im taking my protein shakes. So i take 2 protein shakes to work, consisting of 30mg each. That does the job for me & pacing yourself. Dont rush into things mistake i made since i stay on my feet all 8hrs and only sitting for 15min breaks & lunch. But everything will eventually fall through. I feel much better now. Good Luck!

I feel the same. I feltl like i was able to gobble down a lot of water 1st week out. I even asked myself the same question. I didnt feel any pain or discomfort at all. Everyone will react differently. Currently 1month & 1wk out and i can finish 16oz water bottle in about 30mins.

Was having the same problems first 4 days, was told to drink "Milk of Magnesia" by my nutrionist. Currently 1 month & 1 week post & things seem to be back to normal. Stopped taking meds. probably 4 days after surgery.

Wow that's really good. I'm feeling better then what i was the 1st 3 days.

Wow thats great! Congrats! Im currently 1wk post ops and ive lost 15lbs.

Right here with you. Had mine also done on Feb. 14th. 1wk so far and i already dropped 15lbs. How are you doing?
