Everyone is different. I had the 20lb lifting restriction on paper for 6 weeks, but after my 2 week follow up with the surgeon, he said not to worry too much about it that you are pretty much healed by now. Still, take it easy and see what your surgeon has to say. It could be as simple as you twisted a little funny when lifting the books without realizing it and just have a little kink.

I'm wondering if I did some harm to my stomach I pick up 4 books at my college bookstore and I walked with them about 10 minutes to my car and I realize my right side of my stomach hurts horrible. Any way I bend down or twist right it's a kinda sharp stinging pain there, I'm almost 3 weeks postop what should I do? I see the surgeon in 4 days

I have been walking since I'm been home I mean im just walking and walking but nothing seems to make the pain go away.. I notice if I sneeze I feel this burning feeling in my tummy area..

Hey I'm also a new sleeve aug 6 I has a bad couple days of pain and nausea.. I spent 3 days in the hospital and I taught I was great walking around but I over push myself at home walking to far and having trouble getting my Protein Shakes in.. I did breakdown and ask why did I do this to myself..
But my worse part is why am I starving wanted food so bad bit good luck keep I'm touch

If you feel like this message is for you.... Then you're exactly right.

Try mixing half a scoop of fruit flavored Protein mix in with the Jello mix when you make it. It might not all dissolve, but it still goes down easily and tastes good.

Good luck!!

Best of luck!

You will be in my prayers!

Can't believe this day has come I'm ready couple more hours and ill be sleeved, can't wait for a new journey to start... Good luck to all Getting sleeved tomorrow..

Wow it is a lot of us on the 6 it must be lucky!!!!

Don't worry the weight will eventually come off. It takes time. My pre op diet was the same as yours and I lost 10 pounds in three weeks which I thought was not a lot considering the effort I made. I remember not seeing the scale move until day 7, then little by little. Hang in there it will happen.

My surgery aug 6 also I'm allowed to have 4-5 shakes that is approved on my list from nutritionist have Decaf tea or coffee , sugar free Jello, Popsicles, lots of Water, broth, crystal light, diet snapple
1 serving of starch, vegetable and a fruit.

My dates 8/6 and I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life. By the way I'm sandy and glad to know there's other people having the sleeve done in Aug.

My surgery is aug 6 and today's hasn't been bad my worse part when I head to work soon being around people who are always snacking.
My excitement is making me so nervous where I want to eat but I know this is why I chooses to do and start a new chapter in my life.

Good luck
