Hello Sisters
Wishing everyone good luck! I was sleeved on July 29th. I've not had any major issues other than drinking enough Water and Protein I haven't weight since last week, 25 lbs, and many to go. Lol!

I also received the shots in the stomach while in the hospital. It's a pretty common practice, helps to prevent blood clots. I was sleeved on July 29th. I've had very little if any major issues other than the typical - drinking Water, intake of 70-80 grams of Protein.< /p>

Great before and after shots! There a visible difference. Keep-up the great work.

Your question relative to how long it will take to recover varies from person to person. I was sleeved on July 29th- I returned to work half days two weeks afterwards. My work does not require anything physical. It's the sitting all day that I was afraid of. Didn't want to risk blood clots. I have tried numerous Proteins. My favorite right now is Chike, I've tried the Unjury but couldn't handle the after taste. I also like Opifast it comes already mixed just refrigerate and drink. This week I've bought this local deli Soup chicken tortito and potato soup drained chunks out before eating, loved it, consumed 1/3 cup per meal. I drink crystal light in every water bottle. I hope this helps. Keep the faith and follow your doctor's orders. Keep in touch!

I would suggest initially to stock-up in sugar-free Popsicles, chicken broth, sugar-free Jello, pudding. Those are the things that helped to keep me hydrated during the 1st week post-op.

That's great! I was sleeved on July 29th and have had not had any meds. after bring released. It appears that I've developed a slight cough and congestion. Remember, I here in Miss. and the weather if extremely hot. Today I scheduled for full liquids. Has anyone tried egg drop Soup? I'm planning to strain the eggs out if it.

Great news!

I just so excited that everyone's progressing on the right direction. I had my first checkup yesterday. I lost 12lbs so far. I still can't go back to work until next week. We're having major heat advisors with temp 99-100 with heat index 110. Yesterday I thought I was going to pass out after going from the mail box to the house. I struggling to get 70 grams of Protein daily. Didn't make it yesterday. Drove yesterday for the first time.

I'm still on the phase II full liquids, start puréed after day 15. It's not so bad some thing I can eat are sugar free Jello, Popsicles. pudding, strained Soup.< /p>

Thanks for all of the well wishes! This is post-op day five. I started walking down three houses and back inside on day 3 and have increase a house each day. Up and out with sisters getting pedicure.

Great news! I'm meeting with Dr. Carroll this afternoon for the final consultation prior to surgery. My surgery date is July 29th. I start the two week liquid diet Sunday. I'm very excited and nervous about the procedure. OH! I'm from Jackson MS.

How many Optifast are you drinking per day. I have also purchased them and the Peanut Butter crunch bars. I can't remember how many to drink per day. I'm also on the two week liquid diet.< /p>
