  1. What I'm having the most difficult time right now is the pain! Awwww I'm so uncomfortable no matter what i do :/
  2. All day! I take a few sips throughout the day and that has me full. I think tomorrow I will try to consume some chicken broth.
  3. I'm trying to get my fluids in but I get full extremely fast. I'm probably having 2 ounces of Fluid a day. That's as much as my body can take right now.
  4. Wow that's awesome! Ive actually gained about 3 lbs since surgery. I hear it's because of the fluids that were given to me at the hospital. I'm sure this is the case since I haven't eaten a things but fluids over the past 4 days.
  5. Thanks, girl! I'm on my third day post op and feeling sore. I can manage though. I'm ready to shed some lbs!
  6. Thank you! My surgery consisted of 5 small incisions. So I'm guessing it was laparoscopic? Lol not too sure. I guess im just a pansy for pain. On another note, at the hospital I was given shots and that would take care of my pain. Now that I got sent home, I'm on a liquid pain med which I can't swallow at all once! I'm just taking sips of it.
  7. I am very sore and I'm on liquid pain meds. It's just very uncomfortable to move. I'm willing to suck this up though. I'm beyond ready to lose weight!
  8. Is it normal for me to be aching horribly from my wounds 3 days post op?
  9. Thanks everyone! I feel much better about the situation!
  10. Help, please! I was sleeved yesterday and I weighed myself on My scale and weighed 242.6. I get home today and weigh myself with the same cloves and on the same location and it's showing I weigh 246!!! I haven't consume no more than 600 calories combined these past 2 days. What is going on here? Has this happened to anyone?
  11. It was great! I just had it done yesterday. How are things going with your doctor?
  12. I just had surgery with dr. Del Pino.
  13. How do I differ stomach pains from gas pains?
  14. Doing great! Feeling a little sore from my stomach and some uncomfort on my chest. Heading home as I type this
  15. Thanks guys! I'll def stick to drinking warm liquids. Not hungry so I don't think I'll be eating much the first week. Doc said this was okay because my stomach is still swollen.
  16. I got sleeved yesterday and though there were no complications (thank God!) I was wondering how long it took you guys for the stomach pain to go away?
  17. So far so good. I had my first "meal" today. I was full with 2 sips of a Soup and one sip of crystal light water! I wasn't allowed to eat yesterday but I wasn't even hungry
  18. Do any of you eat and take a drink of your liquid at the same time? Or do you first eat, wait, then have your liquids 30 minutes later? Or how long do I wait to have your liquids after you eat?
  19. How long do u guys take after eating in order to drink? Anyone do both at the same time? I hear you need to eat then wait 30 minutes, then have your drink? How do you guys do it?
