I am almost 6 months post op my hair is falling out a little but I take Biotin and hair Vitamins and I just keep it braided.

I am a rehab nurse I took 8 weeks because I am the only nurse with one aide at night and I wanted to have all my strength back Im going back in September.

Had my 2nd post op visit today down 42 pounds total of 61 since I started this journey soo happy.

skinny popcorn is delicious.

I am with u all. I am 1 month post op and I still throw up. I try to eat small amounts then I feel empty and gassy and I'm not getting in enough protein. I eat a little bit more I throw up I cant figure it out some days I just drink cause that nasty slimy stuff is not cute. I guess as time go by we will all get to know our new stomach because I cant go thru life throwing up after every meal.

I was sleeved on July 1 still out of work I am a Rehab nurse so not looking forward to going back to soon dealing with lifting and shifting my patients with hip surgery,broken bones etc.I am soo constipated that I have no desire to eat I have tried everything I could think of any suggestions.

I guess every Dr is different I am 1 month post op and just beginning to eat solid food as tolerated. I had half of a very small baked potato today and barely could get it down.. I am extremely constipated anyone have any suggestions I have tried everything even a laxative and nothing. I am taking fiber gummies still nothing my belly is bloated and I am very nauseous I can not enjoy my food. Dr says it will pass but I am very uncomfortable.Other than that I think I am stalled because of the constipation but other than that I cant wait for more weight to drop.

I was just sleeved on the 1st of July and I started out at 414.I was 397 day of surgery I am now 2 wks post op and down to 373.I am very happy I made the decision but its not easy you still have to watch what you eat.Yes you eat less and get full fast but I know some sleevers who have reverted back to old habits. I don't plan to do that. I am going to do my best to follow the plans.I believe success depends on the individual.

Hey Sleevers had my surgery July 1st doing ok today was the first day I went out.I was a little weak but I managed.I even went to order take out for my kids and didn't crave at all. I still have some gas but not much. Loving isopure mango peach. Still trying to get the right amount down for the day.I am so looking forward to puree. I am experiencing some incision soreness in middle of my belly but I take pain med if it gets too bad. Worried about BMs haven't had one in few days.Trying not to get on scale everyday but lost 22 lbs so far. Hope its more by the time I go to my 2wk post-op. Good luck future sleevers.

I was sleeved on 1st and my surgeon still has me on full liquids I don't start thin puree until I see him on the 16. I guess every Dr is different. I am still weak

I feel those light cramps too on my right side after my shakes as well. I was sleeved on the 1st.Feeling weak tired of this liquid diet I wanna chew. I am following my Drs instruction to the tee I don't want to be a failure.

Hi sleevers had mine July 1 still trying to get used to this new life. I want to go out and about but Im afraid to venture out alone due to the low energy. I manage to get around in the house mild cooking for my teenagers washing dishes but no heavy chores.Its hard getting down these protein shakes. I currently drink isopure ready made shakes because prior to surgery they taste good to me but now that is not the case.My nutritionist suggest I try a different kind so I ordered a sample kit from unjury will let you all know if its all the rave.I am afraid to weigh myself I'm trying to wait until my first post op visit.Really tired of liquids and it is so hard to take my vitamins and other pills its such a chore I just dump them in yogurt one at a time.Good luck future sleevers.

sleeved July 1, tired of liquids don't think I'm getting in enough protein. I have no energy. Gas subsiding,no pain just tired of these foods.

Finally able to write this short note. Sleeved July 1. Still in hospital stayed in revoery all nite.Now on telemetry cause concerned about my breathing.Im fat I told Dr.but I function very well I work every day anyway they believe I have some apnea whicg doesn't scare me cuz I know I will b losing alot of weight and that will go away. But to get to the surgery No real pain after surgery just Gas almighty if u can deal with gas u will make it , typing from my phone excuse errors more details when I get home.

good luck to everyone today.

I wonder why we are crying I have been crying too.

good luck to us July 1st sleevers I only have to do 1 day pre op diet with liquids but I have been so nervous I have cut down on eating tremendously. I pray we all have a safe and great recovery.

you look great.

I know just how you feel.

I didn't tell my job either but I plan to be out for at least 8 weeks I'm a nurse and my job is very demanding.I am hoping everyone will just think I lost weight while having female surgery that's what I told them...lol.

I saw my surgeon yesterday he didn't require any preop diet only the day before surgery,but I am going to try it anyway.So nervous the 1st will soon be here Im not telling alot of my friends/family so will have to do this with me and God and one supportive friend.

I'm a nurse in NYC getting sleeved July 1st

Oh my I have very bad menstrual cramps and love my Motrin don't know what I will do.

My doctor didn't recommend a pre-op diet either except for day before but I think I may try and do a week of liquids.
