  1. Hi everyone! I was also sleeved on the 21st. My surgery went well, and my recovery has been pretty smooth. I've had very little pain in my incisions,Gas X strips really helped my gas, and no problems getting in all my fluids. My major issue is my hunger, I am literally having dreams about eating food! Oh my damn, I can't wait to be out of the full liquids stage lol. Bring on pureed :D Is anyone else starving all day? If not what foods are you consuming that help you feel full???


  2. This is a great idea! I was just sleeved on 4/21, and I can def use the motivation. It's hard to think of the benefits when all I want right now is to eat anything that isn't liquid : ) My Instagram is Shirlydee, feel free to follow me too


  3. I was sleeved the same day as you! I haven't been having issues with my fluids the past couple of days, but when I was having issues I would walk around for about 5 mins before I drank anything, take a Gas X strip, and stand when drinking. I don't know if standing while drinking is proven to help, but it def worked for me lol. Good Luck :)


  4. I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling depressed :( I was just sleeved on 4/21/14, and I remember my nurses saying that the anesthesia can have an effect on your mood so maybe it's that? I didn't have that problem; my issue was mostly pain in one main incision, and gas. I swear for every sip I took it felt like I have to burp at least 5 times to take another one, so yes I def had trouble getting in my liquids and Protein too. Now 5 days post op, I'm able to drink Protein shakes, Soups, G2 Gatorade, and Water with no issue. I know you'll get there too; I'll be rooting for you :)
