When i left the hospital they gave me a wrap (covered my whole torso) .... it hurt me more then it helped..... but it may help you....

I was sleeved on the 25th also. But I'm definitely not talkin 2 miles a day! lol I was told to wait until 2 weeks post-op for anything that intense. To me, if I sweat, it's working out! (Although, it's 100 degrees in Ohio so I guess walking to my car is working out. ) Prior to surgery I was doing about 8-9 miles a week. I hope to get back there soon; I'm just still dealing with serious fatigue and sleepiness. I only have been walking using my fitbit about 3800 steps is a 1.5 miles so if you wear a pedometer that's how i keep track..... just take more and more steps that's the key

I work in demo and i brought home some taster spoons you can buy them and they work like a charm!!! http://www.acemart.com/prod6574.html?cm_ven=C-G&cm_cat=C5&cm_pla=A11&cm_ite=taster+spoons+P hope this helps

Great suggestion is get some of the Gas X strips that are a peppermint flavor gets the gas to settle down and i was able to drink much easier!!! of course you need to walk and walk some more that helps with the gas as well

friend of mine smoked the same day... no issue and helped her nausea... so just be careful if your right out but even my doctor said it won't hurt.... just no tobacco!

I was sleeved on the 25th got out of the OR around 9.... don't remember much until around 11pm The pain wasn't so bad it was the gas and those feet cuffs that pump your blood at around midnight they started getting really tight i woke up feel like it was about to squeeze my legs off... so i got the nurse and got up for the first time walked around in a loop for about 5 minutes before getting back in bed... got up 2 or 3 more times to walk.. I was able to pee no problem however i was so nauseous that they gave me nausea meds 3 hours early... around 8pm i was released from the hospital... the first 3 days were the worst I went through a phase that i didn't wanna talk (my jaw was clenched) but the 3rd day I came around and haven't shut up since. again the first 2 days i was trying to gulp and i was dry heaving and in pain trying to throw up with nothing really in my stomach... So far so good though i walk anywhere from 1.3 - 2.5 miles a day I am eating cantaloupe, deviled eggs (just today! 7/6), 3rd stage baby food (chicken Noodle by gerber), low fat soups, mashed potatoes......I even have a pinky sized piece of pizza.... probably a bad idea but my tummy didn't fight back on that one Liquids are ok.... protein is decent because of 30g shakes I have.... I have forgotten to take my Multi V including today.... just thought about it.... for some reason it gets me nauseous...

it's the hardest thing to do but you need to be selfish, especially now you need to relax and work on your life. I promise with time everything will fall into place!! Just remember it will get easier with time. In time, you will find someone better.. Don't settle for someone that doesn't deserve you!! My thoughts are with you!!!

Hello All! My head aches have stopped and I found out today 6/19..... I lost 8.1 pounds since last Monday 6/11/2012!!! surgery is going to be here so soon! I am so happy that I have not cheated and have really learned my hunger cues! I can't wait for Monday to get here!!! :-) I wish everyone the best and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hey all! It's the end of the 4th day and I must say that I am dealing with Head Hunger and not actually physical hunger! I am so excited that in less then 10 Days I am going to be Sleeved! It seems like just yesterday that I started this Journey! Stay strong and Say No to thoughts! This post is keeping me going I enjoy checking everyday! My Thoughts are with all of us on the Pre op Diet!! We can do it! One day and One thought at a time! ~Sarah

I had a diet soda the day before the pre op diet started ..... It is definitely possible it is caffeine.... I hope it doesn't last to much longer! I am not allow to take anything but Tylenol 5 days before surgery. So far so good though I love the Unjury Chocolate Splendor!! My surgery is on the 25th! Today I just got my pre op physical, blood work and EKG! I'm ready for these 11 days to pass quickly! Good Luck to all and if you are not on your pre op cut out your caffeine now..... It is a battle of your mind..... I truly have become in touch with my hunger signals and I am just 4 days in!!!!

I am on the 3rd day of my pre op diet I have had a headache at 5 pm for 2 days now has this happened to anyone?

Hey everyone! I have found most people to be supportive. I just stated January 2 on my 6 months pre op. My mother joined with my as a support and she is close to the same size as me. She has tried to talk me out of it..She is envious I think .....I am making a huge lifestyle change for ME and my sleeve will help me to help myself follow thru on those tough days but this whole journey has been eye opening. Be prepared for negative and positive opinions but we all choose our destiny. I want to be a one-der.... It comes down to your choice and are you ready to start living? I am! I am thrilled to have the sleeve soon it feels like waiting for Christmas! Keep your head up Kraze Sarah
