I'm 1 month post surgery. Fortunately my bariatric doctor has a gym. I get there 3 days/week for 30 min of cardio - bike/elliptical and weight/strength. Progressing slowly; but progressing. Very out of shape after years of obesity & my sedentary office job.

Sapphiero - take your time. Chew really well & listen to your body. Some move quickly through types of food & others stay at each level for a number of weeks. Your body will let you know when it is ready to move in. Don't be afraid, just slow & careful. You'll be fine. -

What to expect? Band to Sleeve on August 9
DagsboroDebbie replied to anglicanchic85's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had the band installed in 2006. Dealt with the same up & down yo-yo as you describe from 2007 until my revision surgery on 7/16/13. I know I'm only 2 weeks out; but I can already tell a big difference. Third day & 7th day were the worst for me. Dealt with diarrhea until moved to soft food this past weekend. Amazing to be truly full after only a few ounces & not be overly hungry for 3 hours or so until time to eat again. Hardest thing for me is not drinking 30 min. before, during & 30 min. after eating. I've heard many different plans from everyone in this group; so go by what your doctor and/or nutritionist say. You can do this. -

Sounds like we are all pushing through & getting past the pain. If you are still having pain, take comfort knowing that this too shall pass. While we each have a bit different path; we are all going to be so much healthier & happier each passing day. Keep posting ups & downs so we can encourage each other through the rough patches & celebrate with each other over our successes. -

Nikki B - just keep doing what we're supposed to do. I actually gained from pre-surgery thru liquids - was retaining fluid. Once started on pureed, I dropped 10 lbs in 6 days. Don't be discouraged. Just keep getting your protein & fluids. Losses will follow. -
