Been awhile since Ive been on here, surgery was 2 months ago Im down 47 pounds and feel wonderful. best of luck to those who havent had it yet...best choice i have made for myself!

Hi everyone, I havent been able to post for awhile due to computer issues...Im 3 weeks post op ive lost 25 pounds so far and feel great! I could not of ask for things to go more smoothly than they did after my surgery was up and walking within 4 hours of surgery. I had no pain meds at all after they took the pain pump on the 2nd day and I havent had any issues with keeping foods and liquids down. My Dr. told my son he couldnt of been more pleased with the surgery. I have follow up visit with him on the 29th. Im still not back at work yet my insurance company approved me for 30 days so I took the full time however I would of been fine going back after 2 or even sooner so now Im just enjoying my time off and getting in as much walking as I can......Glad to see how well everyone is doing, Ive got 6 more pounds to lose for the Halloween Challenge.....Good Luck to everyone in the Challenge!

Been having some issues with my computer so I havent been on for awhile.....current weight 246

Per my nut...anywhere between 2 and 4 oz a time is where we should be at this point, I also am eating a whole pudding cup with a scoop of protein added so thats apx 30 gr of protein. I like to get the choc pudding and add the vanilla protein...good luck to you!

I get my tube out tomorrow! cant wait to start walking more!,,,,so far so good!

Im glad to hear your doing well! When you say 'eat' what is a daily schedule for you as far as fluids and protein go?

It went perfect, I was up and walking with out any help The one thing that amazed me was I wasnt in near as much pain as I thought I would be I know I had the pump and I did use it but I still thought it would be more painful. While in hospital i didnt eat or drink hardly anything at all. been home 4 days now still not where i need to be as liquids go but I will get there, ive noticed i seem to be increasing by about 8 oz a day so today im shooting for 48 oz i get all my protein within my first 32 oz to make sure i get it all in. I get my tube out on Tuesday and by the way you will or at least I did gain weight due to all the fluids they pump in you I gained 11 pounds while there. ..Good Luck To You!!

Welcome to you all I had my surgery on Monday the 16th. You will find alot of great information here and everyone is always willing to give their opinion Best fo luck to you both

Im not thats just it LOL Ive only been getting in about 24 oz a day. I know my Dr doesnt expect me to come straight home and be able to go straight to drinking 64 oz a day. While in hospital I only had one bite of jello, one sip of broth and one sip of crystal light at each feeding and had nothing at all my last meal there I was packing to head home and didnt even touch it! I know it will all come in time and Im not to worried at this point.Oh and by the way the worst part for me was where I had my surgery at they weigh you before you go home I gained 11 pounds while there due to all the fluids in the iv.

I had my surgery on Monday and it wasnt near as bad as i thought it was going to be came home yesterday and slept almost all night. Im only taking pain eds at night so I can get a good nights sleep. getting all my liquids and protein in is far from where it needs to be but im doing much better than i did while in hospital. One day at at time and I will get there! I hope all my other September sleevers and any other month for that matter are doing well!

gasx strips are my new best friend

Ok so I had my surgery on Monday and as some of you know due to all the fluids they pump in you you sometimes gain weight while in hospital, so having said that I am at 268. Still keeping y goal at 240...see ya next Thursday!/.

I had my pre op appointment this morning...surgery is scheduled for Monday the 16th at noon, clear liquids start tomorrow!

Im in~~~ current 263 goal 240 See you all next Thursday!
