Good luck with that, I know about not wanting to tell people and when they see you not eating it raises a lot of questions. You can be strong though, just find mushy things and use my current line of why I'm not eating much" my stomach has been kind of icky lately" good luck, I'm sue you'll be fine.

Congrats...you look good. I can't wait till I can cross my legs, I've never been able to do that

I know I'm not getting enough fliuid in, even though I sip all day, just like I'm not getting enough protein in. My body just can't take that much liquid. I also have had your issue and I agree about bending over to help.

So I weighed myself this morning and since my surgery on 1/29 I have lost 19 lbs. I dont know if thats too fast but its exciting

Wow, amazing. Congrats, I can't wait until I lose a large amount and can see it. I was sleeve 1/29 and was down 11lbs as of yesturday

Nope, gonna try later in the week. I'm not suppose to for 2 weeks

So has anyone over done it yet? I think I did yesturdat and I didn't even do much. Resson I ask is because I was in pain ALL NIGHT. A sharp pulling pain, whereas the other night I was able to lay in certain positions with no pain. How long should it hurt before I start to worry

Your welcome! Were all on this path together

Ooo, you can't sleep either? I haven't been able to sleep more than 2 hours and was worried it was me. I'm happy on clears still though, I still only at 30oz at most during the day.

Yes, I have been drinking warm crystal light. Warm tea helped relax my stomach a lot. Also, make sure your sips are tiny

It does get better every day, its slow but better. I stayed in the hospital 3 days due to vomiting so my recovery is moving very slow, just remember to keep moving

Has anyone had pressure in their chest along with sharp pains running down their arms?

Yes, try the strips, they melt completely and help a lot. Hmmmm, I can't wait until I can have a smoothie. Its gonna be awhile:-(

I can't wait to wear a shirt that shows my tummy. Espesically in New Orleans were its too hot for clothes

I got the shots every 8 hrs on the dot while in the hospital for 3 days. I couldn't image sticking myself with those burning little things of pain....

It sounds like you got air in your sleeve along with water. How far out are you post op?? I remeber at the hospital my baratric nurse said straws draw in too much air. Maybe try a gas-x strip to see if it helps.

Okay, I couldn't help myself...I weighed myself today....4 days post op and I'm down 7 lbs. I can't believe it, even with me being swollen

Thank you so much.I'm day 4 post op and still feel bad. I use my meds at night, bust can only sleep about 1 to 2 hrs, before my nody wakes me up to tell me it hurts. I've been using the spirometer, but maybe it takes a little bit to help. How long did it take to work up your liquids? Right now, I'm at about 10-12 oz for the day. Anything more hurts? Also did anyone dry heeve a lot? I dry heeve probably twice a day and throw up once. Pretty awful since it tastes like blood.

I understand how some pre-op people feel. I was sleeved on 1/29 and I'm not going to lie, I am still hurting. Part of my issue is I'm vomiting. I can only handle about 2 sips of vit. Water or warm tea. It will get better, I can say this because yesturday, was horrid,today is just bad.
