Oh ok.. So maybe it's normal lol. I'm just so paranoid. We went to a family event today and I walked a couple of miles too. I thought I over did it and they started to peel from moving around so much today.

When were you sleeved?

Just had surgery on Wednesday and the glue is already starting to lift around the sides! Is that normal? The nurse at the hospital told me it would take a couple of weeks for it all to fall off.

I told everyone! I told my surgeon, I told them when they were prepping for surgery, I even told the anesthesiologist and nurse in the operating room! I told them to blast me with a full arsenal of anti nausea meds even if I didn't feel nauseous. Whatever it was worked! I took the pill about a hour before surgery, and then got a shot of phenagran (sp?) every 8 hours until the next morning. I never felt one bit of nausea!!

Could it be a tummy bug?

I ended up adding a little low fat shredded cheese instead. Ate only a few bites before getting that pressure in my chest which I guess means I'm full?

3 days post op and on purée diet. On my paper, it says scrambled eggs are considered purée. Has anyone used ketchup or even something else? I feel like a plain egg would be too dry. I know ketchup has sugar, but I figured the minimal amount we ingest wouldn't really be a lot. Thoughts?

I was just sleeved 3 days ago. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 kids (1 and 3.5) and my husband went back to work. I have a 5lb weight lifting restrictions, but realistically, that's just not possible. I've tried avoiding it, or letting the baby crawl onto the couch and on my lap, but for naps I have to pick him in and out of his crib. I try to lift with my knees. I know I'm not supposed to, but I really have no other choice. I have no help. But once my husband gets home from work, he's an amazing help!

I'm 3 days post op and it took me 3 hours to get down 8oz of my shake. Everyone is different. Just double check with your dietician or doctor if your concerned.

This was my biggest fear! I tolerate pain well, but I'm a biggggg baby with nausea. They gave me a pill before surgery, they told me it was the same anti nausea med that they gave chemotherapy patients. I'm 3 days post op and haven't been nauseous once!

I got the laughing cow light chipotle. Soooo yummy!

Considered purée??its the spreadable Swiss flavor. I'm on purée, and I figured it would be a nice snack that also has protein.

Just sleeved on July 3 (yay!!) and was told not to lift anything heavier then a gallon of milk until my check up on the 15th. Anyone else have different lifting limitations? Is my doctor just being conservative? My one year old stood at my feet and cried hysterically waiting for my to pick him up. It was heart wrenching. He's about 23lbs. My husband put him on my lap so I could rock him to sleep, but the second my husband tried to take him to put him in his crib he screamed and cried hysterically . I obviously don't want to do any damage internally, but it's so hard watching your child cry and not understand why mommy can't pick him up . During the day isn't so bad, but nap and bed time is horrible.

Thanks everyone!! Leak test done and no leaks!!! Waiting for a clear liquid tray, and then hopefully going home!

I was sleeved yesterday morning at 8am. Procedure took an hour and recovery for another hour. I've had absolutely no pain or nausea, just bloaty gas pressure. It's almost like I'm waiting for something to happen since this has all been so easy! No pain meds, except for IV Tylenol for my headache. I've eaten about 3-4 cups of ice chips over the last day and they taste heavenly after being so thirsty! Going for my leak test (that I'm completely dreading) in an hour or so, then hopefully going home!! I can't wait to start dropping weight!!!!

Maybe a stomach bug?

People have different expectations. You get out of the sleeve what you put into it (literally and figuratively lol). I may never be able to eat a whole sushi roll again, and I'm ok with that, because optimizing my weight loss is most important. Instead, I can have a piece of sashimi which is straight protein!

I agree with you. But I'm sure some people adopt the "anything in moderation". Like normally, I'd love to hit up a sushi/Chinese buffet! But obviously now I won't. However, I don't want to give up sushi forever. But something like soda, I'm ok with giving that up forever. Everyone is different.

Ahhhh I'm going in tomorrow! So nervous. Not really for myself, but my kids. They are only 1 and 3.5 and I have to leave before they wake up. Is the longest I've ever been away from them . It makes me cry just thinking about them missing me or wondering where I am. It's even worse because my 1 year old is sick and just wants to snuggle . But I'm trying to remember that I'm doing this so they can have a healthier mommy! Anyway.. I'm not prepared yet! Going shopping to stock up on food today, and making some casseroles for hubby and the kids so they won't starve while I'm gone (my husband can't cook for anything!). I also haven't packed my bags yet. I'm quite the procrastinator!
