Sleeved May 7th 2013 Clothed weight 218.4

The same for me.

I had to get cardiac clearance before they would schedule my surgery. I had a EKG and an Echo done. The cardiologist talked to me about my family history and sent a nice little approval to my surgeons office. I was sleeved May 7th.

Being able to switch my mother's ring from the ring finger to the middle finger of my right hand. It's getting loose but doesn't fit the middle finger yet.

We all lose at a different rate. I'm at 3 weeks and 21 lbs down. I'm sure you aren't doing anything wrong it is just the rate your body wants to drop its weight.

I would talk to your doctor about it. I've had yogurt without any issues but I've not had other things yet.

My goal is 120 which is 120 from my pre surgery weight and 100 more pounds to lose.

Checking in. My surgery date was May 7th 2013. I'm still on clears and I'm down 21 lbs since my pre-surgery diet.

I was sleeved May 7 and driving by May 11th. That was when I no longer needed pain meds all the time. If you have to take pain meds you shouldn't drive.

Surgery on May 7th. Down 21 lbs. Still on the clears stage.

I was sleeved May 7th and haven't had any issues. I was kept 1 extra day in the hospital because of not peeing (seriously). I did eventually pee and was released. I'm on clears for 2 weeks which seems like a lot to me but I have medication I take mixed into some yogurt. I have my 1st follow up appointment with my surgeon and NUT on Monday. Overall I'm feeling really good and I can't wait to eat something solid but I guess I have awhile to wait for that.

My doc had me chewing gum in the hospital after surgery! Even though it made me drool and made me nauseous. I hated it. It is so funny how different doctors say different things. I'm glad everything is going to come out all right in the end

I was sleeved on May 7th and had nausea for the time I was in the hospital. I got meds for the nausea but I threw up SF jello once . I was concerned that they didn't send me home with nausea meds but I haven't had a problem since I've been home. I agree to ask for meds.

I was nauseous when taking my meds in the hospital (not just pain meds). I started taking them with a drink they gave me in the hospital and now that I'm at home I take them with a bit of sugar free yogurt.

danelle235 I am on the same diet. 2 weeks of clear liquids. Seems excessive to me too.
