I am down 49 lbs and only a handful of people have noticed. Its a little disappointing but keeps me motivated.

Since surgery 3 weeks ago, I have had 2 "accidents"!. Today it was the result of a sneeze, the first was a result of thinking it was just gas. Luckily I was at home both times. But what happens when I go back to work next week?! I would be horrified! Please tell me this is not going to keep happening!

Hang in there! I felt the same way the first 4 weeks. I am on week 7 and just all of a sudden, it feels like things are changing. food is beginning to taste a little better. Im getting a little more in before getting full. My fluids have increased from 25oz to about 50 oz and I finally have some energy. I even walked 3 miles yesterday which is great for me because I had been so exhausted that I didn't want to move. So it does get better!

My surgery was on 02/11. Meet with nut next week to go over regular food diet. No complications at all but do feel a little weak at times. Im getting 500-600 cals a day. Is that close to what my other Feb sleevers are getting?

I was a two nighter. My insurance originally approved one night, but I had some little problems with my oxygen level so they kept me another day. I was so lucky that they put me on some sort of pain pump. I got to hit the button every ten minutes. So, I was never in pain for very long. I walked my first day but not a whole lot, the second day they had someone from PT come and walk with me. Then I just walked by myself and did some laps while I was there. I was really nauseaus for the first day and pretty dizzy. That wore off by the second day. I was lucky and they gave me a sleeping mask and earplugs when I was there at the hospital, but I would 100% advise you bringing those items. I didn't sleep a whole lot, but without those two items I wouldn't have slept it all. Good Luck!!

justforme2014 got a reaction from kltklass in silly me March 3, 2014

For some reason I thought I was going to be "better" than everybody else and not go through a three week stall that thousands talk about. HA! I was delusional. Lost a whopping 0.4lbs this week
Oh well, at least I know its normal and to keep on keeping on.

I did not get a cath but wished I did. There was a lot of bathroom trips because of the high volume of fluids given and getting in and out of the bed in the beginning was painful.

I'm not allowed to swallow pills until 4 weeks out. I have to crush and put in unsweetened applesauce.....yuk.

justforme2014 got a reaction from MN_Thin0211 in I have gained 14 lbs in 4 days! MAGIC (FML) February 15, 2014

I lost 11 during my 2 week pre op diet. Gained 8 after 2 days in the hospital. Been home 2 days and lost 5 of the 8 I gained in the hospital. I was sleeved on the 11th also. Definitely a roller coaster ride but we all knew this could happen. I won't weigh again until my post op appt to keep from going insane. We just need to hang in there and wait for the sleeve to work for us. And it will work! Stay positive!

I'm just 2 days post op. Got discharged today. Have only been able to get about 8 oz of Protein Water down today. I feel every sip and my stomach spasms and I belch. Hope this is very temporary!
