Hey' date=' I was sleeved on the 7th. I'm feeling really good. I have had 2 days where my energy level was way down. 6 days after surgery I was down 8lbs, I took the scale to my moms so I can stop weighing myself every other day but, I feel weight or inches coming off. People I haven't seen in 3 weeks said I was looking good and they see it coming off.

These Protein Shakes, huh! I've bout had it. I'm on phase 2, which is puréed foods- getting boring- and I have to do this for 2-3 weeks. Phase 3 I get introduced to deli meats, some fruits and vegetables, saltine crackers, and Peanut Butter. Can't wait.[/quote']

I was sleeved last Tuesday and let me tell you i was worried and scared for nothing!! I mean its no walk in the park but it's not terrible. liquid are getting super boring!! I see the surgeon again Monday. Wishing all the May sleevers a easy surgery and quick

Recovery!!!

I'm able to eat way more. Not quite as much as before the surgery but def more than after the surgery. I snack s lot too!

Great good luck mama!!

You def can't tell I'm preg I.just look chubby!! I'm gaining all over too. I've gained about thirty and I'm 7 months too! I have to get ultra sounds regularly too to see if he's growing because umbilical cord is attached to the side of the placenta. Ill be 8 months next week. I hope to his I loose the weight after I'm after I'm sched for a Tummy Tuck after.

Are u able to eat more?

On Thursday' date=' really tough getting enough liquids in right now. Here's to an amazing journey[/quote']

Good luck on your Journey i was sleeved on Tuesday.

My bmi is 38 and my doc sent me home with daily levenox for a week. It's a precautionary measure for any abdominal surgery. Definately call your doc with any unusual bleeding. They may need to change or stop ur dose.

Where u also given shots at the hospital?

Okay so while in the hospital I was given hemprin shots every 8 hours for the two days I was their. My doctors sent me with a prescription to five lovenox injections. The nurse did not understand why I needed this, and said that the shots at the hospital should be enough. My surgeon said they make everyone over 50 bmi do it, i was at 51. The thing is my gums have started bleeding and my legs keep getting numb! Should i stop these shot i don't want a blood clot but idk if these shots are doing me ill!!

Welcome i was sleeved on Tuesday little discomfort here and there but so far so good!

Prayers your way!

I was sleeved on Tuesday and doing great! I'm not ready to run a marathon by any means' date=' but the pain is tolerable. I slept 8 straight hours last night, so this morning was very painful, trying to get out of bed. So....tonight, I'm going to set my alarm half way through the night, so I can walk around the house and sip, sip, sip. 8 hours of not drinking or walking was way too long! My bed just felt so good after two nights in a uncomfortable hospital bed.

The recovery is not as bad as my hysterectomy, but more painful than my Lapband. So....really not bad at all![/quote']

I was sleeved in Tuesay and feel the same way you do for the most part.

Never trust a fart at first. It is likely to be more than just air. I think I am finally getting over the runs. That has been the only negative for me so far. I walked more than 12000 steps today in two walks.

Yess i have the runs as well!

They kept bringing me ice Water after surgery. The cold definitely made my stomach not happy. Try room temperature stuff or warm stuff.

I'm glad it went well!!

Yes room tempeture things did the trick!

Feeling much, much better. Do move arounds and still no farting lol they were concerned with that at the hospital but once i passed a few bowel movements they seemed not to be as concerned. Im sipping away and a little discomfort but pain. Thanks to all those that talk off the ledge for the most it was pretty easy. So far no buyers remorse!!

They are not letting use my Gas-X should i use them anyway?? Im so glad this is common i was scared.. Jello hurts me broth more than 2 spoons hurts me. Water lord let this pass.. Un a good note other than that i feel great

I was sleeved yesterday, and so far everything i eat make me cramp anyone experience this?

I hope all went well!

Yes so far so good i wrote a full update on a thread i started earlier.

Thank you all!!!! My surgery went we so far woke up in pain but thats all under control it comes and goes. I was very nauseous last night not today. I am burping away, but they want me to pass gas, and it is not happening and they refuse to let me take my Gas X. Also any little thing i put in my mouth makes it cramp!!

So nervous, but not as bad as I thought.. Hope all goes well :-)

Thank you too all of you!!! <3 and good luck to the may 14th sleevers!!! Great date' date=' great vibes![/quote']
