3 days post op I was feeling very good 4 days out I feel great. But we are all different.
Good luck to you On day four I cleaned the house, went shopping, went to the gym, and then to the
Vitamin store and home to play with my doggies. and I have been up 14 hours so far.
Feeling great still after a busy day

Can I just say how much I appreciate my sleeve? I felt like I wasn't doing things all together right but I felt great so I wasn't going to stress myself out over it. I got on the scale expecting not to have lost much since last week and eight more pounds was gone. I was sooo happy and thankful, just wanted to share. Thanks for giving me the forum!

There are many things I am looking forward to doing once my weight starts coming off but one thing u just can NOT wait to do is wear my beautiful engagement ring. I wouldn't let my fiancé get it sized anymore because we knew I would be losing weight soon.
Share what you are most excited about !!!

Oh boy I will be thinking about you, 4 days out and I am felling great.
Keep us posted.

Ahhhhh! On my way to the hospital. I'll be sleeved in no time!

"Don't trust your farts." Wiser words have never been spoken.

Tibbi, Thank you she is a good one and knows she cannot crawl up on mommies tummy. She and the others all 6 know that mommie is not well right now and are protecting me.

I am home the doggies were really happy to see me and they were very gentle. Today is so much better and I sound better and was able to sit up for 4 hours so they though it was safe to send me home.

Came home today doing good I had a rough time the first day I could not wake up or move. The second day was a little better but not much, then this morning I woke up and sat up in the chair the intern came by and after that I went for a walk did this several time my surgeon came by and asked me if i wanted to go home he also said I looked much better. It feels so good to be home and with my doggies.

Ok. This was awesome! My husband has a habit of walking past me and smacking me a good one on the butt. Usually too hard and I have to whine at him. So tonight, I was wearing a pair of jeans I haven't worn in years. I was showing him the pants and I said "go ahead! Smack it!" He said Nooooo, it's too small and delicate, I might break it!
HAAA!!!! He called my butt small and delicate!! He's never said anything on me was small OR delicate! (It's not really small by many definitions, but I guess compared to what he was USED to looking at....) YESSSS!!!!

Sleeved yesterday! Minimal pain, some nausea but easily treated with the good stuff I will be going home tomorrow. It felt good to know I'd lost 30 lbs on my own and no telling what I'll be when I get home. It has been an awesome experience. Sitting in my hospital bed right now and counting down until discharge tomorrow! Woop Woop!

I was sleeved on 4/16/12 and I haven't had gas like this since I was pregnant! I'm pretty sure I brought a tear to my dog's eye. Milk of magnesia has been my savior when it comes to pooping. It's really helped with the gas. Before the MOM, my hubby and I would listen to tummy rock and roll and wonder if someone left their IPod in there after the surgery.

I chose the sleeve as I felt it was the safest and I did not want a foreign object in my body and have to worry about it eroding or slipping. I have a friend that had the sleeve a year ago and she has lost over 100 pounds and she looks great.

Not sure what your doctors diet plan is but this is what mine gave to have 1/3 cup :
skim milk
v-8 juice
low fat blenderized / strained soups
fat free sugar free yogurt without fruit
fat free sugar free pudding
thinned cream of wheat or oatmeal
sugar free Jello
sugar free popsicles
Hope this helps some to add variety

I can't stop watching food network I love those channels

Today I took 10 skirts and 45 tops, jackets and sweaters, all size 26/28, out of my closet. I had to make room for all the new size 18/20s I got yesterday. Oh yeah, that's right baby! I'm down 5 dress sizes and just less than 70#. Woo-hoo!
