Hi all....I was sleeved on 6/16. As of 2 week check up was down 23 pounds. Learning lots everyday

Hi all! I was sleeved on June 16th. I had my two week weigh in on Tuesday and had lost 23 pounds. I've lost that kind of weight before, so it doesn't feel real to me. I ran into a snag after I came home from the hospital that no one warned me about. I'm a medicated bi polar and after 5 days of hyper mania (feeling over the moon, invincible), I realized my meds weren't being absorbed in my system to do their job. I figured out that i need to take my meds later when i'm eating, but really panicked! What's everyone doing for the 4th?

Hi Helena Marie, I did great through surgery and while in the hospital, but haven't been doing well the last three days. I too am still having issues with pain, but luckily still have pain meds. I can't get all the liquid down without feeling like it's floating at the base of my throat. Protein is a.challenge in that I have to be very careful what to eat or risk my stomach feeling like it's going to twist right out of my body. I'm getting out and about and haven't had issues with gas. I have yet to be hungry. My 1st post op appt is a week from tomorrow. I hope all starts going better for the both of us. You'll be in my thoughts! Please share what your surgeon says. Best, Dawn

Hi Jennifer, You are awesome. I still have some pain, so better living through chemistry for me! Things are going well. Surgery was a breeze, as was time in the hospital. I stayed 2 days, just to be safe. I'm delighted to be home with my son...he's a huge help! So is his nanny, when she is here. My doc limited me to 4 ounces per hour of fluids....with the 30/30/30 for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's impossible to get my fluids and proteins in. I want to sip more, but am afraid I'll stretch my tummy out! What's your intake per hour? Congrats on doing so well! Best, Dawn

6 days! How is everyone doing?

How are you feeling with the liquid diet? I'm not finding it too bad, but then I'm doing 2 shakes a day and a high Protein, low carb dinner. Are you all liquid? Only 9 more days to go...we can do this,

Congrats. Have you started your liquid diet yet.I have...it's not too bad!

Hi, my sleeve surgery is scheduled for 6/16...only 10 days now! Can't believe it!

I'm scheduled for surgery on June 16th...10 days...OMG!

10 days....OMG!

Hope today went by quickly! Good thought for tomorrow! Let us know how you are doing!

Krissy, we'll be thinking good thoughts for you! You're going to do great! Let us know how you are doing!

I have no one local to support me...family is all on the west coast. Would love to have someone who has done or is doing the sleeve journey to reach out to me. Please pm me if you'd like to connect!

What did it taste like? Did you mix anything in? Add anything to it? Make it a smoothie?

I'm June 16th too. There are quite a few of us! Congratulations!

You are going to do just fine. We all believe in you! The next step is surgery....I bet you can hardly wait. Best of luck to you!

Then I shall not do so...

I'm so glad you are feeling better!

90% mental....good to know! I have gotten the junk out of the house...that was very cleansing!

Sue, how are you doing now? I hope all is going swimmingly!
