I just had my surgery on June 18th and the pain really is tolerable. I did awesome after surgery and have been told several times that I am trying to move to fast and to slow down. I have been ready to exercise for about a week now, but my Dr says wait till I'm 6 weeks out. Don't worry they'll give you plenty of pain meds and you'll sleep through the first day. I wish you the best! You'll do just fine!!

Thank you both for your uplifting words. I am still hungry and I'm close to 4 weeks out!!! Drinking fluids is still very difficult and has always been, even before my sleeve. I knew it would be difficult. my weight is slowly trickling off & I can't wait to see how the next few weeks turn out. I already have a juicer but haven't used it, yet. I'm going to try it and see if it helps. My eating is very poor.

I'm new to this so I hope that I'm doing this right. I was sleeved just a week ago on June 18, 2013 and I am sure that I have a lot to learn. It is almost 4am & I'm up drinking cream soup!! I'm currently on summer vacay from work so my entire schedule is messed up. I can't believe I'm this hungry!! Nights are when I'm most active & awake so I figure I have the entire summer to get this right and I'm sure when i start excercising, my sleep patterns will get better. I gained about 10lbs while in the hospital and it has me so worried. I feels like i'll never get this weight off! I'm struggling with gettting enough fluids in during the day....I haven't experienced any nausea or vomitting just major stomach cramps or hunger pangs...I can't even tell the difference. My dietician says this is normal so we'll se how this all pans out on my next Dr. visit.
