I only took a long weekend. Thursday surgery. Monday work. No infection control. 4/10's. Energy was for crap 4+ weeks post op now. Energy not 100% but adjusting vitamins Little nausea. Only taken Zofran 2 times since surgery. I don't know if there is a normal. Lol

My surgery was May 23 at well. 234 to 207. Let's keep in touch as we have much to discuss as we learn new things Congrats on the weight lost. Let's do this

My surgery was May 22, so a little more than a month. I haven't exercised yet. I am at a slow 1-4 pounds a week. I feel ok but want to know how much 1st month lost was. I was 234 pre-op, now 207. Doesn't feel like enough. Would love to lose 40 pounds in next 60 days. Any advise??

Yes very normal. Prob from IV fluids. It will drop off soon. Just drink and walk for bloating Warning. Constipation hit me 2 weeks out so take a stool softener daily. Drink drink drink

I am 23 days and still lack energy. The vitamins make me nauseated. Got some B complex with B12 nasal spray. That's all the vitamins I am getting Went back to work after 4 days, too soon, but can't afford not to work I can drink water and tea without problems No weight lost in a week...ugh. Not exercising yet. Really need to work in that but Houston is hot as hell this time of year Would live more updates from you as you're a week ahead of me Energy needed too ! Thanks for the encouragement !!

I am 23 days post op. I don't track food and calories. What's the consensus? Is that important? Needed?

I have been a nurse for 21 years and live in Houston. I had the sleeve 5/22/14 and new to this site. 23 days and going strong

How did you get to. Zero???? Wow. Tell you secrets! My smallest was size 10 in high school and nutritionist said i would get to 160. My MD told me 40% minimal. I am actually scared I won't lose much at all!! Please share you typical day

Well I am 23 days post sleeve. No it's not the same. You get a pang to let you know, not one more bite. For me, I miss a lot of foods. Especially bread You have to remind yourself to eat. And that can be hard. ESP for me as I like to drink all day. Having to stop drinking 30 mins before food is hard. And then once eating is done, waiting another 30 mins seems like forever Do I regret it, no. The outcome is greater then the food problems. I never once vomited after surgery, a lot do....I am eating everything now and learning quickly what works and what doesn't My advice, find someone you know (I have two) that have had surgery. They are my "gastric sidekicks" and are just a call or text away This site is great, however having a honest talk and lectures work best for me Maybe one day, bread and I will get along It's easy to get dehydrated so drink drink drink!!! Hope this helps!

PM me for more info on how to get a group started please.

I work at Memorial City are and live off 290. Maybe a mutual meeting area would be great

We are about the same 19 days post op for me. Same problems especially with the fluids/food rule. Ugh

Thanks! I would say my staples are Fage Plain Greek Yogurt sweetened with one of my Torani sugar free syrups, Cottage cheese, Premier Protein, Isopure carb drinks, sf popsicles and now that I can eat soft foods, I enjoy Sashimi and Miso soup! I feel I eat more than I should but keep it under 750 calories and track everything in MFP! What is MFP?

Just fluid from surgery and IVF. I gained like 6 lbs post op. It will come off and then some
