Hi!! My recovery isn't bad. Yours? I just am anxious to get this body in shape now! Two of my incisions hurt, and besides gas or whatever I'm going through right now it hasn't been bad. I'm on full liquids until Tuesday. I hate the Protein Shakes, and I'm ready for food! I'm down a total of 29 pounds since I started all of this. What is your diet?
-
By the way, I was sleeved Jan 22nd.

Gas x strip? Maybe I'll send my hubby to the store for that. I knew straws were a big no no. It completely went out of my mind when I went to smoothie King to check out their low carb Protein Shakes.< /p>
-
I don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem, but I forgot and used a straw last night. So my current problem is every sip I take of Water or a Protein Drink is uncomfortable. It seems to hurt a little and my head hurts then too. Now I feel like I have a lump in my throat. Before this I had no problems. Just sore from my surgery. Thoughts?

I'm going to be in the hospital all weekend on heavy antibiotics. All not other incisions are healing great. The infected incision is still open along with the 2 holes the infection caused.I am a rare case everyone. I just like letting ppl know what can happen. I had issues with the incision from day one. It hurt horribly and I never had a good day. After my one week follow up I was told I looked fine even though there was still a lot of pain. Within days the infection spread mind you I had no fever just a red belly.
You've been on my mind. Thank you so much for updating us. I hope you heal quickly, and soon you won't be in pain. Hugs to you!
Hope

Hey everyoneSo I am 1 week post op and I have to say' date=' today was the first day I felt really good. I definitely had my share of "what the hell did I do" days in the very beginning but definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Cannot wait to move on from the full liquid diet and get to eat some tuna and egg salad. Just wanted all the pre-ops and early post-ops to know that it DOES get better. Every day is better than the last. I ate some Soup at a restaurant today and it felt great to be satisfied and full so quick. I am so excited for the rest of the year and what is to come![/quote']
Hi,
I'm a week out also. I'm not as happy as you right now. I'm not sure if it is a combination of things. I miss real food!!! I'm on full liquids. My friends brought food over for my family. The chicken looks so good! I'm not hungry, but I want that food. It may also be that I'm stuck in my house. I've been to the YMCA for walks, but I haven't gone many places. Maybe things will look up when I can eat real food, and not have to rest so much. I'm glad you're doing well!

I'm a week out after my surgery. I've lost seven pounds. I'm not hungry, but I'm craving real food!! I've had friends bring over food for my family. I imagine myself picking up that piece of chicken and ravishing it! The Protein Shakes are grossing me out, because it takes me so long to drink them. I'm finding myself wanting food food food! I don't plan on eating horribly, but the deep dish pizza my husband was eating earlier was driving me crazy. I want to make healthy food and eat it, but right now I get cranky when I see any food. Does anyone else have this problem?
-
I have six sites. One of mine is infected. I'm on strong antibiotics!

Thank you for your concern! I'm waiting to hear from the nurse. My other incisions don't look like that. I'm a little scared.
-
I'm finally passing gas, but I'm still in pain. One of my incisions is swollen, and sore. I'm still working on my first shake iof the day. I'm not sure it is even half gone.

Hey everyoneSo I am 1 day post op and feeling ok. Day of surgery and this morning were pretty uncomfortable. Home now and looking forward to getting a full liquid diet on Saturday. It still kind of hurts to drink Water because of gas pains. :/ doctor said procedure went amazingly well and wishes he had taped it for training purposes!
Put on 6lbs from all the fluids at the hospital. Can't wait to start seeing the lbs drop!! How is everyone else doing?
My surgery was on Tuesday. The gas pain and bloating is the worst! I finally passed gas today. I'm ready for this gas to go away!! I haven't had any issues getting my liquids in. I once sipped to much, and that was painful!
-
I'm home now! My surgery was on Tuesday. I'm in some pain, but I'm doing alright. I sipped too much of my Protein Shake, and that doesn't feel good! I'm really tired, but I've been doing a lot of walking. I want this air out of my body!!

I had my surgery yesterday morning. I'm sore, but doing fine. I've been walking as much as possible. I am so thirsty! I'm waiting to have my leak test.
-
Tomorrow is finally here!!! I have to check in at the hospital by 5:30! I've been hungry all day on this clear liquid diet. I'm looking forward to the time I wont feel so hungry!
-
Me too' date=' next Tuesday. Are you ready?[/quote']
I'm ready!!! Tuesday cannot come soon enough!
-
I've done so well on the diet until today. I'm on my period, and 800 calories is definitely not enough for this hunger. I ended up having a can of chicken noodle Soup. It wasn't a cheeseburger, but I'm still wanting to eat. I'm sure it is emotional. I'm so angry that I have until the 22nd, and I'm struggling so hard.
-
My pre op physical is tomorrow!! Six more days until my surgery! I will be sleeved on the 22nd. I've lost 11 pounds on the pre op diet so far. I'm so excited!!!! I love reading the experiences of others. I'm happy for all of us.
Hope
