I had mine done at RWJ on July 16th, everything was wonderful. My surgeon was Dr. Dobruskin - she is AMAZING!!!

Thank you everyone, just reading these posts has calmed me down. I am just going to keep at it and I know the weight will come off eventually.

How is everyone doing? I am at a stall right now.

Hi there - so I am 3 weeks post op from my gastric sleeve. I lost 15 pounds in the preop diet and another 15 the first week after surgery. I have not lost a pound since then. I am getting in between 60gram to 80grams of protein a day. My calorie intake ranges from 500 to 700. I am drinking 60oz of fluids a day and am walking for an hour. Is this normal? I am getting frustrated. Some changes in my clothing size but nothing significant.

Me too! It is getting close. Excited, nervous, a whole slew of emotions.

I make my own ice pops with my sobe life Water, or Vitamin water zero. I too hate aspartame so I find liquids with trivia ans stevia in them. Just a thought.

Thank you everyone for your advice.

I will have someone drive me home. I don't have to walk the dog they can head out to yard. But didn't know about the bending to feed them and stuff.

I am single and family lives far away.

So I am getting sleeved on July 16th. Will I be able to take care of myself and dogs or should I hire in nurse? I know it sounds crazy but trying to gauge my needs.

How is everyone doing? I am getting nervous and excited.

Congratulations! How are things going with you during the pre-op diet? I am doing ok but definitely missing the crunch. Lol. However, I am staying strong as I know it will make the surgery easier.

I know! Where are you getting your done? The first couple of days on the liquid ore-op diet was hard but now I find it easier. How about you?
