I was worried about my belly button incision. It's healed but still has suture out. I feel no pain. I don't feel sleeved until I eat! So what foods are you eating now?

I was having severe pain. Lisa thinks because I was eating to fast. I feel much better and tomorrow is my 4 week appointment. Soft foods here I come!

Ok thanks. I had my surgery June 28th. I loved everything except their preop diet food! Lol but other than that great. I was shocked I didn't have a drain, cath, but also glad too. It was just so smooth.

I'll weigh in (ha ha) since we have the same doctor! Go JourneyLite! How do you like it there?

Anyway' date=' the scale there was always within 1.5 pounds of my home scale, usually higher because at home I weigh first thing in the morning in my underwear. My gym scale is 6-7 pounds LESS than home scale and I was hoping to go with that but last week I went to my PCP and their scale agreed with mine. Dangit!

I'd say if the number doesn't change at all for a while or you see sharp increases or decreases then you might want to change the battery. I don't think you need a whole new scale. Or try a third one at the gym or friend's house to be the tie breaker, that's kinda what the PCP scale did for me.[/quote']

I do love journey lite and curry staff! Great experience. When did you have your surgery? (im mobile so i cant see profile).Yes I will be using the gym scale tomorrow.

I also like the lower one but it still puzzles me. I'll try the gym scale tomorrow then!

Thanks Minkle! That is a good possibility but I'm hoping for the lower number.

Im 3 weeks post op and my scale says I'm 213 for the past week. Today at the doctor it said I was 208! Then I came home it's still 213. it's a digital scale. Do I need a new scale ???

I'm 22 in college. Start weight 238 and current 212. Had surgery June 28.

Hehe I was begging to be burped. My nurse and mom were burping me. :/

Great! You will be in onederland very soon. have a blessed recovery!

YAy!!! I'm glad you are doing well! Now let's start loosing

Yup' date=' I pretty much threw everything up yesterday. Today I'm much better, nothing coming back up at all.[/quote']

I'm glad the Powerade is working. So today I had my first bowl of warm chicken broth with seasoning! Not only did it sooth me but I was able to have a bm. Sorry but that made a world of difference. I have lost 20 lb since pre op and 11 since surgery

I'm also 5 dpo and I finally said enough. I bought the lemon Powerade and sipped on it all day. I feel hydrated and full. I don't feel weak or tired. Now I just have to battle through this gas pain

Sooo glad to hear i'm not alone in this. I was sleeved Thursday morning June 28th and today is the worst I have ever had. Nothing is staying down' date=' I feel empty, cannot tolerate one more sip of plain Water or fruity flavored anything. Guess I am in the "why the hell did I do this" stage. I cannot even eat Jello (something I loved before surgery). I feel like I am getting dehydrated but as of today, I cannot keep even Water down. Hoping for a better tomorrow. [/quote']

I was liked that up until today. I had surgery the 28th too and really dehydrated. I bought a Powerade and sipped on it all day and now I feel soo much better!! You should try it I used the lemon or yellow flavor. i move on to puréed foods this Thursday !

Any HELP would be really appreciated. I was sleeved on friday morning June 29th' date=' since then Ive had a hell of a time keeping down anything let alone the desire to even drink Water. Everything taste GROSS! My emotions are all over the place, i feel a little depressed and I have extream anxiety. Is this normal?

Also can YOU PLEASE give me some tips on getting in calories on the week one after post op diet. Im feeling a lot of regret right now! I could cry.[/quote']

I feel the same but I would be better if I could enjoy a my liquids or gas was. Or there

You will feel better every day - I promise. Even when you hit a setback' date=' you can know that it will pass. When the pounds start to come off, you will look back on your Day Two misery and realize it was worth it. Keep the faith.[/quote']

Thank you. I believe you and I like reading people s stories months post op. just got to make it through this hump.

I was 228 day of surgery and this morning I was 221. But it has gone up to 223 this afternoon.

Pretty! Keep up the good work.

Was so excited to get surgery and now it's over I'm sad. Not about food it's just I'm hurting and I need someone to talk too. I didn't tell any friends . I though I could get through this alone. 2 days post op

When will I feel normal again?

An you have that during the first week post surgery or onclear stages?

Thanks in advance

True! Well July 10th will be here before you know it! I know you will be ready

Thanks

Ow many did you all have? My surgical book said 6 but I actually have 5.

Thanks Laura I also pray things go smoothly with your surgery and pain management

Thanks. The pain is not too bad but nausea is awful. My dr just put in a order at the pharmacy for antiemetic. Prayerfully that will make things better. Yes I am now a loser haha I went from 238 to 224. So I will stay positive and look into changing my screen name.

I don't want to discourage anyone just want to know if others have gone through this and things turned around. Sorry just this forum gives me encouragement at times. Maybe you will be right 1 to 2 weeks. I was hoping because I am 22 tht I would jumped back up on my feet. I've had 2 open heart surgery and that I breezed through but this is much harder for some reason. I pray you make the best decision for yourself.
