    Newly Sleeved, Too Much Liquid?

    i am curious as well... i feel like i a drink all day long and am worried I am drinking too much. I was just doing the 8 4oz shakes per day along with water/tea etc but sometimes i am drinking 8 to 16oz between shakes. I was looking for a change so i tried some broth in between and some Jello and just tried popsicles... I also feel like I am trying too much.

    Any April 1st sleevers?

    Checking in with you all... Surgery was last Tuesday,,, due to internal bleeding and low blood counts i stayed until Friday. I feel magnificent since being home. Since I have been home... Friday night I walked one of dogs and felt soo good to get outstide. While I was only able to get one 4 oz CIB down I was able to get about 8 oz of Vitamin Water drank. Friday sleeping was a little uncomfortable as I tried to manage on just one pain med and once I took 2 in the wee morning I was able to get a few hours sleep. Saturday morning it felt like a normal Saturday. I took both dogs out for a 20 min walk, drove my son to his baseball practice. While there I walked my normal 2 mile walk that I had been doing before surgery and happy it took me about the normal 40 min. I didn't want to push myself so went home and put my feet up for a bit. By 2 pm my son had been missing the gym so I checked in at Weight Watchers for my weekly check-in happy to have lost almost 4 pounds in the week. While at the gym I did the moderate workout on the treadmill and discussed with my trainer on how i can work out daily with 15 - 20 lb weight program that will begin this Thursday. Saturday intake was only 6 CIB so i need to manage my time away from the house better and ensure I get the 8 servings. Other thing I had hard time remembering is I can't guzzle water like I used to ... DAMN that hurt.... now I know to be more conscious. Sunday it is beautiful out my son wants to play some ball so I might try to go see if I can play a little first base or at least get a walk in for about 3 miles. One concern was the HUGE bruise on right side I was hoping it didn't have to do with the low blood counts which were possible internal bleeding. So happy with this decision and the direction I see for my new life... I hope everyone else is doing as well as I am.

    Anyone having the sleeve in april?!

    Massachusetts here... The big day is April 1st... not sure how I am going to handle being so active today and not being able to go to the gym or play softball for 6 weeks... I have a feeling I am going to be soooo bored. But I look forward to what life will be like after surgery and will be anxiously waiting to get back to being active... making all these changes has been a great feeling I hope not to lose momentum with a break from the gym!
