I was sleeved on 4/23/12. As of today, I'm down 26 lbs. I don't do so good with drinking, but I'm working on that. I get my protein from food, whether it's enough...I don't know. I eat meat, cheese, applesauce, fresh fruit everyday. As for the heartburn, my doc said to take Prevacid 2x a day. I never miss it. I'm doing pretty good with my vitamins. This week I did a bit of exercise. I have no idea what the next month's weight loss will be like. No vomiting to date. Hang in there. Don't give up!

Every time I read about people's insurance not covering the procedure...I realize how blessed I am. Don't give up & pray. I believe GOD has the last say on everything.

Good morning. Sunday I started cream soup. I had not been taking my Prevacid. Sunday night, I just felt stuffed from a few teaspoons of soup, but it never went away. Monday was just miserable, it took me all day & a conversation with a good friend to figure out it was heartburn. I didn't eat anything but 2 - 2 1/2 oz. of yogurt that evening. I drank all day, but no protein. On Tuesday, while the heartburn was gone, I was so weak yesterday, & I now believe its because I had no protein the day before. Even yesterday I had not desire to eat. Well I learned. Prevacid everyday. Protein drink everyday. Lots of liquid everyday. And I'll work on the rest. It sucks to have a string of good days & then to get knocked on your behind.

Omg thank you, thank you.. I'm 2wks out and wondering "I'm I going to lose weight, when?" but I claim along with you that this too will happen to me! Yes&Amen

Hello. I was sleeved on Monday & released late Tuesday afternoon.It was supposedly a routine procedure, & everything I've experienced to date is normal. I almost backed out on Monday, I got a little scared. I thought to myself...I can stay fat and eat what I want...I don't have to do this. Then I thought about how absolutely miserable I've been emotionally and physically, with the weight. Each day gets better. No pain meds since Tuesday, when I was discharged. Mainly because I felt horribly nauseated when I tried to take liquid Tylenol w/codeine. I then tried to chase it with a swig of isopure. The thought of vomiting right now is so terrifying, that 1 wrong move cures me. My incisions are healing nicely, I came home without the infamous tube. I don't feel strong because liquids just don't do that for anyone in general. I slept all night, for the first time last night. Moderators feel free to move this to the appropriate thread.
