You look wonderful!! Congrats. You actually didn't even look heavy in your before pic!

I had the same thing!! Nothing to do with food. Just weird and seemed to last the whole night! They stopped prob about 3 weeks post op

Sorry this is a bit off topic but what are you ladies taking for menstrual cramps??

Good luck to you! You get sleeved on my birthday! I was sleeved June 3. I am not much help because I am having a really hard time getting protein in! In the beginning you won't be eating much at all! Liquids only. After a few days I was able to drink protein drinks and I have been adding protein powder to my jello. Still no where close to where I need to be. I talked to the nurse yesterday and she recommended isopure but everyone keeps saying they are nasty!

Caitlin, I felt like I was writing this! Thank you!! I was sleeved June 3rd. First few days were rough and I am still not getting in enough Protein but am trying. Some days are better than others. Today I actually broke down and started crying. First time I was questioning myself. I also appreciated everyone's response! Even though I plan to make better choices in my future, I want to be able to have pizza or a sandwich! I would be satified with 1 slice every once in a while! I guess my emotions have just been all over the place! I have my first check up post op tomorrow. I have not stepped on a scale! Thanks again to everyone! Karen

Awesome!! I know exactly what you mean about the towels!! You look great!

I was sleeved June 3rd. I had serious pains with gas but today feeling better and hopeful! I feel. Sorry for those that are hiccuping. Every time in the hospital I did the breathing thing I got them. It was so painful. Thinking of you all!!

Wow! 3 nights in the hospital? My dr asked if I wanted another night but wanted to be home. Not like they were doing anything else besides bothering me so often. Just feeling a bit defeated today. I felt the same yesterday so assumed today would be a little better. I think I need to read some happy posts! I am usually good at tolerating pain. It was better to be sleeping the first few days!!

Today I am not feeling happy. Back pain is terrible. I have been trying to walk in the house but it is pouring outside. I know it will get better. Just got to get over this beginning!

That's awesome! I am so happy for you. Even in your writing I can tell how happy you are! Enjoy the attention and don't settle!

I was sleeved Monday too! Today was the first day I was able to get a protein shake in. I know I hve to do better but it is so hard to drink more than 2 tiny sips! Glad I am not alone. I haven't even added the protein powder since I have barely eaten! Is anyone having pains in their back/shoulder/neck? This is killing me!

Hi all. I live in central NJ also but went to Dr. Mehta. I was just sleeved on Monday! Good luck to all!

Glad to hear! Just had my surgery yesterday and i am so uncomfortable.

I am also worried I wasn't on any pre diet! I asked the surgeon and hospital. They just said nothing since the night before. I have been reading this forum the last few hours and been reading bad things!! People are starving and sorry!! Where are you getting it done Monday?

OMG! Monday is the day!! I was excited now I have such anxiety!! I keep trying to convince myself this is the best thing for me but scared I will be sorry! No going back!! Can't tell you how many last meals I have had!!
