That 1st week is REALLY hard!! It gets better trust us. My best advice don't worry about your Protein for a little while just sip and get your fluids in . Prayers!

Hey , I went through the same things . Hang in there !! Really I mean it . I was sleeved 6 months ago and it had changed my life . It was hard at first don't get me wrong . I missed food so much ! I would cry at the drop of a hat . Angry at what I had done for a while . But, once I started to eat soft then normal foods then I realized there wasn't anything I couldn't have but just in small amounts . I had one small miniature 3 musketeers for Halloween and that's all I wanted. I am not going to deprive myself but eat well and allow myself occasional treat. I have lost over 70 lbs including my pre- op . Message me if you need support !

I couldn't stomach the chewables at all ! I am 5 months out and ever since month 3 , I take women's Centrum petite s they are 1/2 the size if a regular multi Vitamin . My nut looked at them and said they were fine to take . I didn't have any trouble swallowing these at all . My Nut said to take 4 a day

I like the apple pie and the banana nut . All are good except the lemon one . It taste like pledge !

I was sleeved on June 6th . As of today including my pre-op diet I gave lost 40lbs . I am so glad that I did this! I have had my struggles but my knees already feel better , I can bend over now , and so much more ! God bless to everyone . My prayers include everyone that is on this journey , I feel like I am a part of a "sleeve " family

Hey, It took a couple weeks for me to sleep in the bed. I gave a comfy recliner I slept in. Everyday I would try to lay in the bed then one day it just quit hurting when I laid down . Hope that helps, hang in there !

I once did a concert at a mental institution. I met a man who insisted he was Frank Sinatra Jr. To the best of my knowledge he was not.
I did not feel offended by his delusion, it was not a threat to my "beliefs", I was not compelled to find a way to stop his self expression. In fact, I was kind to him and worked around his delusion. We are both human beings and deserve tolerance which I define as "space to be".
I believe in God. I have also spent many hours discussing my faith with highly intelligent atheists. Many have exhibited graciousness and although quite opposed to my beliefs maintained a civil dialog. I feel like real warmth and mutual respect was established.
There are many ways we can relate to each other. I try to relate as I see opportunity without sacrificing my identity or character.
My Savior ate with tax collectors and rank sinners which bothered the religious folks terribly. He was not put off by the differences, he found a way to embrace the unlovely. I am not as longsuffering as He, but I'm working on it.

doing what you body FEELS is as important as getting in all your Snacks and meals. 1 hour is supposed to be sufficient, but I would try to get in some serious liquids in between meals. however, really be careful and listen to your body.

Sassygirl, get a heating pad works wonders...

Hang in there and be glad they just didn't send you home to worry. Regardless of the reason.. You're in the right place if there's anything to worry about. Like they said it could be either ne... Or none,maybe. Glad they're on top of it though.
Good thoughts, prayers, vibes etc being sent you're way.

Well although it hasnt happened to me, I know that this could easily be a scary time. I hope that you are able to just relax and take comfort in knowing that the professionals know what they are doing. I am so glad that they caught it and didnt send you home yet. Just concentrate on that new body and new life! Saying a prayer for you and hoping that you are comforted and at ease today.

I am June 6th too in Northern ky right across the river from Cincinnati Oh super excited and scared at the same time !! Day 3 of the pre op liquid diet it's REALLY hard for me!! Afraid most of all being nauseous the most. I don't deal with that too well

Well , I am sitting here at 5am on the day of my surgery , still hoping that I am making the right decision ! You see, I love food ! Love parties where you eat two big plates of yummy appetizers , and thanksgiving when you eat till you can't move But, on the other side I hate being fat! I hate how I feel , I hate my joints hurting all the time ! And, I hate not being able to keep up with my basketball star 10yr old daughter ! So, will I miss the food YEP!! But, does the good out weigh the bad ! Most definitely ! Keep all of us getting sleeved today in your prayers!
