I love my dachshunds

Congrats!

Good luck! I'll be praying for you.

You might need to talk to your doctor about that. I remember my doctor asking me if I had any pain in my legs. Good luck and I hope it gets better soon.

I was told it took 6 weeks for your stomach to heal. I hope that's right.

Good luck with your diet. It is difficult but try not to over do the cheats. After the surgery you won't be able to because the possibility of a leak is to great. I will be praying that it will get easier.

I am a little over 5 weeks post-op and I have lost 25 lbs. that includes 5lbs. pre-op. I had been on a two week stall and yesterday morning the scale finally moved again. Don't get discouraged, it will happen.

Sounds to me like gluten intolerance. I have it and all of your symptoms are associated with a gluten intolerance. I would definitely go gluten free and make sure that's what it is. Anemia is a symptom also. Good luck in finding the source of your problems.

You may have hit a stall. Don't get discouraged, sounds like you are doing everything right.

Me too!! But my blanket is one of those heated throws. Lol

Sorry my finger got trigger happy.

I also didn't tell anyone but my grown kids, my husband and my best friend. I didn't need anyone telling me that I shouldn't do the surgery when I had already tried every diet under the sun and failed. My health was simply going down hill, so it was pretty much my last option. I had my surgery on December 5 and I haven't had any problems. I did what my doctor said and I have not rushed things. After hearing some of the terrible stories about leaks and eating too much and being sick, no way. I ate about a 1/2 of a scramble egg this morning being careful to go slow and chew, chew, chew. I eat potato soup, beans mashed a little with mozzarella cheese melted on top. Just don't eat very much, a couple of table spoons. I have lost 25lbs and I am glad I made the decision to be a healthier me. Good luck the both of you with your surgeries and keep us posted.

Hang in there, it will get better.

You will get a lot of support here. I did and was grateful for it. Sounds like your husband is trying the best he can. You will mourn food because I do. These are all normal feeling and we all have them. Just know that you will get lots of support and encouragement here. I was sleeved December 5 and have lost 23lbs and have had no problems. Just do what your doctor says and don't try and rush it. Congratulations on your decision for a healthy life.

This was a very good post!! You are an inspiration for future sleevers who are scared and nervous. Congratulations on your success and future healthy life.

Very well said. I found if you do exactly as your doctor says, and don't try to rush things, then you will be ok.

I know how you feel. I tried every diet under the sun and nothing was working for me. I would lose some then gain it back plus some. I had decided I could not do it by my self. There are times when I really miss eating when everyone else does but like I said you just have to stay focused on your health and know its the right thing.

I had my surgery on December 5 and I am so ready to be able to eat!! I am really liking being 20 lbs lighter though. It's a toss up between the two evils. Being over weight and eating what you want and being thin and eating less food. You can't have both, unfortunately. I just try to stay focused on the future picture when I'll be thinner and will be able to eat what I want, just less of it. I'm just tired of liquids and blended up foods. I know it's my mind telling me that real food would be better.

Actually I'm doing really good. I go tomorrow for my one week check up. I did start blended foods today. I was really tired of broth. I have been staying busy with housework being very careful not to lift anything heavy. Puréed food or better tan broth, but I'm ready for some soft foods. I have been careful to only drink as much as I'm supposed too, 1oz every 15 minutes. My incisions are still a little sore but it's a lot easier to turn over in bed. I'm glad your doing better.

Yeah!!! I'll be glad when I get there! Praying for continued progress.

Sorry that happened. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery!!!!

I am now 5 days post-op and am feeling a lot better. I haven't had a bowel movement and that kinda concerns me. I felt well enough to load the dishwasher, do a little laundry and just general picking up. I know I'm not getting all my fluids and protein yet, but that is so difficult but I'm trying. I can't wait until my second week so I can have something different to drink. My soarness is not as bad. I can turn over and get up a little easier. I will keep everyone updated.

Congratulations!! I'm 4 days post-op an feeling alittle better everday. Here's hoping we have a speedy recovery!!
