Girl I know right after my surgery it was terrible it still sucks but its getting easier! Im 11 days post op where are you at?

Eeeeeek!!!!! I've got to step away from the scale!! I find my self waking up everyday and weighing myself! I know it's terrible I need to get away from this habit! Im 11 days post op and haven't lost anything the last two days so of course I'm having all these thoughts that my sleeve isn't gonna work!!!!

Is the isopure non flavored different from like a whey protein unflavored? I got that to try with adding to stuff but its terrible!? Donny when you get a quick second will u shoot me a message and tell me ur intake around the time you were at my stage, I need some guidance and I know you are doing great with alot of focus!! Id appreciate it!!

Good to know I'm not crazy lol. I'm still only 11 days out so still got some recovering time. I get moochies Thursday!

Thanks a mil!!!

Oh ok and is it already in the bottle our like the crystal light packets??

Lol!!!!! That's hilarious, I'm going to have to try that!! Thank you!!

Thank you guys!!!

Ok... Im 9 days post op. and find myself only wanting water or crystal light I am trying to force the protein shakes down but am only getting maybe 20 grams which I know is terrible and I'm so afraid of losing hair....did anyone else have this problem and what helped???

Thanks I'm trying lol. That's probably the biggest problem is I haven't been able to sleep so that's probably making me cranky!

Sounds like a hold back!!! Congrats on your weight loss, don't pretty him hold you back your time is now... This if what you worked so hard for!!! I can't wait to be there to sister!!! Keep on keepin on =)

Congrats everything is going well!!! I've noticed longer slower so I don't accidentally rip anything I had my sleeve done Dec 6!! I also have found wearing leggings over my stomach gives me more support and makes me feel more comfortable then something looser!! Good luck.=)

Oh, that's so special congrats and good luck that's so exciting!!!!

Im 8 days post-op and I find myself bummy... Not really wanting to be around to many friends...is this normal, does it go away?!

Congrats Joe!! I am only 5 days post op and glad to hear things get easier! It isnt as tough day by day not getting solids but the water intake is my biggest struggle!! Like you said I cant chug a bottle of water so sipping with the added factor that I still need to get those 64 oz in seems like thats all Im doing ...keep up the good work I cant wait to see your continued sucess!

Im 5 days post op and just now getting to my right side. My left side is far to sensitive and my belly still has all the staples, seems to risky still to sleep on my stomach. Im waiting patiently lol ...good luck

Sounds absolutely Devine I can't wait to get to this stage!!! Something to look forward to

Im not married but having these same issues with others in the house!!! It's terrible, I didn't think I'd have much problems but I'm on my 4th day post op and its starting to be really really hard I hope it gets easier with me having ten more days until I can eat anything solid =(

Good luck to you all. I was nervous too but everything went well I'm for days post op and feeling great!! Ill br thinking of you all!!!

Wow you look wonderful congrats!!!

Congrats you look great!!

You look absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks for the motivational pictures!!!

Stay strong!! I know the feeling of not knowing and its terrible!!!

Savannah I have the exact same thing. My surgery was on Dec 6th. I have the worst air and gas. The protein shakes may have been a little premature because they gave me bad pains too followed by a burp. I may wait another day or so for that again! I still have some pretty bad pain from where the drain was and in the stomach area but its getting better. I am mostly concerneda about getting my liquids in so i dont get dehydrated thats my biggest goal right now but this gas in my stomach is crazy!! Ill be glad when its gone

I too went to the seminar thinking I was going to do the Lap-Band but after hearing more about the sleeve it seemed to be a smarter route. I was a self pay patient as well which makes you alot more causious of the after effects and keep up with the surgery. With the Lap-Band there was alot of maintenence that would be costly not included with the beginning fee. I also like how the sleeve is a more permanent tool and 'makes' you aware of what you are putting in your body vs the lap band doesnt give you as much restrictions I believe. I had my surgery December 6th with Dr Hoehn, he was absolutly amazing through the whole process and offer a pretty good promotional fee. Im still pretty sore and am worried about getting dehydarated but making sure I SIP SIP SIP right? lol
