Goldenyelladiva, I too have the same problem. I was sleeved on the 20th of august and was doing great losing weight now I haven't lost a pound in 2 days. I am stopping from weighing myself everyday that's my first mistake. But now when I'm hungry I just drink some broth and it helps. They say it gets better when you start eating solids so I have 9 more days left of these protein shakes. . Head hunger is the worst!

Please add my name to the challenge. My current weight is 263.5.

I'm 11 days out and I have to say THANK GOD! Yesterday was probably the first time that I finally feel like myself. I'm happy with my progress and have lost 14 lbs since my surgery on Aug 20th. I started cooking for my family and cleaned the house some today. Not lifting anything does slow me down but I feel great. I am currently on protein shakes for another 11 days and boy it's not easy. I'm sick of them already. The only ones that I really like is the chocolate premier. I'm just getting tired of it. Now I do like the chicken broth protein from unjury. Prayers out to all of you!

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! It will be over before you know it. Walk walk walk as soon as they let you get up.

I'm on liquids this week and I am able to get all my liquids in. In fact I was a little worried because I can get 7 oz in in one sitting. It may be different with protein shake but the liquids go down just fine. I do have a little cramping still here and there but nothing I can't handle. Thank god I've had a great recovery so far. That is other then the headache the other day. I'm walking about a quarter of a mile or so. Tomorrow I hope to walk a half of a mile. I haven't been tired yet but I guess I better get prepared for that. Thanking god everyday!

I've heard that sometimes they cut you if your liver is too large and they can't maneuver around it. I haven't heard of making your stomach smaller so it doesn't leak. Why would he do that? Does he thing the lap band did something to your stomach.

I was sleeved on wed the 20th and I'm feeling good thank god but I have had a small headache since the surgery. And the other weird thing is my jaw hurts awful. Has anyone else had these symptoms? I gave up caffeine months ago.

I am only 3 days out and I'm not hungry nor think about food at all. My recovery is going well so far thank god. I am drinking my 64 oz or close to it of water a day. I'm always thirsty. I am worried that I'm stretching my stomach by drinking all this water but that's what they told me to do and I want to follow their requirements. I only felt a little nausea the day after surgery thank god but I bought a wrist band that may have helped. Any way my start weight was 298 my weight at the hospital before surgery was 278 and today I am 279. They say the iv fluid may cause the weight gain after surgery. I can't wait to see my # on my scale to go down every month. Well good luck with your decision.

Well I weigh 7 lbs more today than I did in the hospital. I am so excited to start losing this weight.. good luck to all you that get sleeved this month.

I had my surgery yesterday morning and it went perfect. I started walking last night around 6pm. The Pain wasn't that bad. I had aching in my belly bot no gas pains thank god. Today I've walked several times and the took me off the morphine. The morphine just helped me sleep. Only my right side seems to hurt for some reason it may be where he pulled my stomach through. Any I just wanted to let you all know that the pain is not that bad. Good luck to everyone getting sleeved this week.

Maybe I spoke to soon. Lol. I have little pain in my stomach after I drank some water this afternoon. I've been walking so it really does help. I'm tired bit that from not getting enough sleep last night. I'm sure it will get better everyday.

I bought something called sea - band for nausea and its been working pretty well.it comes in a two pack and you can buy it at the pharmacy

In January I thought this day would never come. Now it's here. Tomorrow is my surgery date. I can't believe it. I'm both scared and excited. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 surgery stating at 7:30. I will post again after my surgery and let you all know how it went.

Thank you so much everybody. I appreciate the good wishes.

Sleevarilla, where do u live and what time is your surgery tomorrow?

My surgery is tomorrow too. Prayers out to you.

Hhp29. I've lost only 7 lbs as of yesterday. I hope to lose at least 10 by Wednesday morning before surgery. I haven't eaten any carbs which should shrink my liver I hope.

I've only lost 7 lbs so far with my pre Opp diet. Should I be concerned?

So funny. I think my moment of excitement will be when I can cross my legs and my thighs touch. Or to put a pair of sandles on that tie on the side of my ankle without my son's help.. The towel wrappung around my body is up there too! : )

So I'm on my second week of my preopp diet. I've been on vacation so it hasn't been easy. I know I'm eating more meat then i should but i haven't had any carbs but my sugar free Creamer for my decaf coffee. I am praying i have at least lost 8 lbs or so by next Wednesday. No scale here. Cutting way back tomorrow and i plan to put myself on pure liquids Monday and Tuesday.

My surgery is next Wednesday August 20th and I'm scared of the throwing up. And if my stomach will leak. I've thought about backing out several times already. All I can do is have faith that God will get me through this. He has never let me down.

You are in my prayers.! Let us know how you're feeling in a couple of days or so. Mine is next Monday.

Kindle you look amazing how did u tone up so well?

Has anyone drank alcohol after surgery. My nutritionist says it's ok to have a little wine from time to time. Anyone else know anything about this subject?

Bethparks 11 lbs is awesome. I hope I do as well as you are doing. I would like to lose 10 lbs before my surgery. Dr said the more I lose the better off I am since I first weighed in on Jan 1st I've only lost 15 lbs. But I did gain 6 lbs on vacation a couple of weeks ago. Thank god I lost that before my preopp visit yesterday. I'm sure my dr would not have been too happy with me.
