Thanks ladies;)

So ur doctor had u on a 1-2 day liquid diet then went straight to soft foods? My dr had my first 2 days a clear liquid diet an then days 3-14 a full liquid diet. Then puréed for 2 weeks then soft foods.

Hace any of you thought about or considered the activity trackers? I'm strongly considering purchasing the up24 to track how much walking I'm actually getting in an it tracks your sleeping habits as well. I no that there are alot of these kind of trackers out there, but want to no if any of you have tried them an whats your take? I want to get one but due to there being so many don't no which one to get!

I was sleeved on 5/28 an got home on 5/30, an since I have been home me an my husband go to track an walk a mile together everyday. I don't want to do any more than walking until all gas pain an incision pain is gone.

Thank you so much! I was so scared to get it wet. How has your recovery been so far? Did you have a hard time getting all of ur Vitamins, liquids an Protein in?

Sleeved on 5/28, an I still haven't had a BM. I tried to go yesterday, but couldn't due to constipation. Yes I no TMI, but I just wanna go to the restroom! Lol.. I also have been getting pains through stomach that move up to chest, that I believe are gas pains. Please tell me someone else has been having same problems. On another note, I have been getting my multivitamin in, an it does have iron in it. I will start tonight on my calcium an d3 chewable. I also have been doing protein shake to get in my 60 gm in but I can only get in 1 shake so only 30 gm of protein in:( I feel like im doing something wrong, plz help

Ok.. Here's the problem. I was sleeved 5/28 an was released from hospital 5/30. When I was released I was given no instructions on how to care for my incision. I'm scared to take a shower, an get that area wet, so I have be doing sponge bathes. My doctors office is closed till the morning but I REALLY want to take a shower, so please someone let me no what you did. I only have 1 incision across my belly button, but there are no stitches- only a shiny film look on top of the incision. That's why I came to the conclusion of it may be surgery glue. Thanks in advance, Krystal

Omg.. You look absolutely amazing! I'm so "J" I hope to have the success you have had with your sleeve. I just recently had my surgery on Wednesday morning, and stayed in hospital 2 nights; so today is my first day home an I'm tryn to get my fluids an Protein in but It's hard. My tummy is still gasy an sore, an I am to full! What's your secret? How did u do it!?

I've also heard about isopure drinks being excellent for protein intake. I hear they taste like powerade/Gatorade. I haven't tried them yet, I'm still new to all this myself. I just had surgery Wednesday morning, and today is my first day home. If you happen to try the isopure drinks an like let me no, an any other suggestions are helpful. Thanks

Just got sleeved Wednesday, an I'm TOTALY in for a challenge! SW 288 Goal Weight: 260 So how does this work? Every Friday post current weight?

I have been using the gnc total 25 powder to mix my shakes, an I really LOVE the banana flavor one!

Peanut butter in shake sounds good, but I dnt think I can do that yet. I'm only on day 3. I do have protein shake in banana though, so in gnna try that out in the morning. Thanks

Just looked at my paperwork it says 64 oz water daily an 60 mg of protein daily. What else besides the shake will help hit that protein goal? What are all of u doing?

Silly question but how much protein should we be in taking a day? I just got sleeved Wednesday an today is my first day home, an the only thing I have gotten down today is 1 cup of broth an 2 sugar free popcicles. I do have the gnc total lean 25 shake mix, but don't no what the best things to wat for right after surgery. Any suggestions would be helpful...

Well ladies, I was sleeved Wednesday morning(28th) and I got home this morning. So I spent 2 nights in the hospital all together. I had horrible gas pains, an still kinda do! Home today an now starting full liquid diet an leaving the clear liquid diet behind me. Also started my first multivitamin today. How are all of u other people feeling?

I'm still here at park plaza, leaving in the morning. Horrible gas pains... Smh! This is my second night here, an I can barely sleep. Today I did get some broth Down an it tasted so good to my throat;) Other than that I have been sipping on water an licking popcicles. How are you doing?

I asked her first. She's sitting right beside me now. I'm in hospital had my surgery yesterday morning, an I will get released in morning. She says she has no problem talking to awnser any questions u or anyone might have.

My mom had the bypass done and a tummy tuck both paid be Medicare. She can awnser any questions you may have, just give her a call. Her name is Linda an her number is below;)

Laying in this hospital in PAIN! I was warned about the gas pains but I dismissed the warning and advice. Well I am now in horrible pain:( It feels like major rumbling in my tummy then finds its way to my chest. The nurses recommend walking, so I'm walking but still in pain!! Help Overall everything went good

I'm right along with you! I have to be at hospital at 730am!

Countdown has begun! Have to be at park plaza at 730am... The time hams flown by

The countdown had begun! I have to be at hospital at 730am, to get sleeved!

Well guys, tomorrow is approaching fast. I have to be at hospital at 730am, an I live about an hour away so I will be leaving house at about 615am. I just finished packing my bag, an I hope I didn't forget anything! I'm excited, but I'm scared to. I'm not big on pain, an I'm scared of hurting in recovery. Also a little worried about my gummy multivitamin. Do you think my new sleeve will be cable to handle a gummy vitamin?

May 28th sleever also have been looking for a buddy;)
