Can you take your Vitamins with Water? Or is it a no-no? I forgot...

And feeling weak and very fatigued...my back is a killer too...not looking forward to going back to work on monday ????

I am 13 days post-op and my back has been killing me!!! It hurt intensely the first week and then the pain calmed down, and now it's back to where it was

Meant to say I'm seeing them on Monday. Autocorrect can be so weird. Anyway' date=' are you feeling full on small amounts of food now? It's my biggest concern, that I'll be the one sleever in history who still has a huge appetite!![/quote']

I'm now on pureed foods and finally able to calm the hunger with something other than a Protein shake- though i still have to drink them to get all the Protein requirement in- i'm surprised with how little i'm eating- and feeling satisfied! Sounds like a lot of us on this app have that same concern about stretching our stomaches! How are you doing???

How are all aug 26th sleevers doing????

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated- thank you!

I feel sooo hungry- I really want some real solid food...anyone else feel my pain!?

I am religiously following the doctor's orders and I have my first post op appt this friday (sleeved on the 26th)- and i'm anxious to progress to the next stage- I'm getting in all my Protein and water...but i still feel hungry :/

I was sleeved on Aug 28...I have stomach pains when I eat which makes it really uncomfortable. I also can't stand cold drinks but they are my favorite' date=' especially since its so hot. I am already sick of the liquid diet thin and ready to move on to some REAL food. If I can at least get some seafood soon I will be satisfied. Other than those complaints I'm good. I went for my post op yesterday, 1 day shy of a week and I was already down 14.5lbs!!![/quote']

I feel your pain! I was sleeved on the 26th and can't wait to meet with the surgeon and move on to "pureed" foods- i want real food too! This liquid thing is not making me feel satisfied- i feel sooooo hungry!!! I've been religiously following the doctors orders as well and don't believe i've lost that much weight either :/ and i feel hungry!

For me it was 4 or 5 days.....

Oh wow! I wasn't feeling too good then, but now I am- seems like it's okay then thank you

Id say the first 4-5 days felt like hell...but it get's better!! 9 days post op today and feeling great!! Take your pain meds...rest...

Just really curious...how many days after surgery did people do the deed?? No specific instructions given to me nor was I asked...and i'm feeling a little urge; i'm sure the hubby is too

No it doesn't....trust me you have gone through the worst of it already...So don't worry...Just go and get it done....You will feel better when they are removed

Thank you! Exactly why I didn't want to go through anymore pain!!

I'm new to this site myself- was sleeved 8/26...feeling much better today; i'd say the first week and a half was hell- and there were moments where I was asking myself- "Why did I do this to myself!?" But...today...8 days post op i'm feeling happy...optimistic...an a whole lot better! Looking for people to go through this journey with me too...

I go in on Friday; just wondering if it hurts when th staples get removed...

I'm 9 days post op and initially my back was hurting baaaad...It was hard to walk, breathe, sleep etc. I had pillows all around me and propped myself up to sleep- it made it better; these last couple of nights i've been putting pillows underneath me, and the sides...everywhere! And i've slept so much better!!! You can never have to many pillows what i also found with the back pain was that it was actually trapped air...we went out for a good walk last night and lo and behold i'm feeling muuuch better today! Good luck and hope you get some reflief
