@@WhoKnows I do prefer weight training! I started exercising 3 weeks post-op but had to stop then because my nutritionist said I was not eating enough. Now I'm eating almost the 800cals recommended by the nutritionist and I want to start exercising today. I can't go to a gym because I work full time and I have a 3yr old toddler to take care in the afternoons but I have a treadmill at home and 2lb, 5lb dumbbells, resistance bands and some other stuff at home. I'm thinking walking 15 mins, then do a dumbbell routine for arms, then walk 15 more mins and do some leg exercises. At least 3 days a week weight training and the other 2 days just walk for 30-40 mins.

Hello Bari-Friends I got sleeved on July 31. I have the ok to walk and do light weight (2lb) exercises for the arms. Can you share your exercise routines post-op? Thanks.

Which Biotin you take?

Can I take non-chewable vitamins?

Were you tired - Yes the first weak Weak- Yes the first 3-4 days In pain- YES! It hurts a lot, the morphine helps but whenever you need to get up, it will hurt, try to walk as often as you can. Do you have children to care for - A 3yr daughter, my husband and family help me with her during the hospital stay and the 1st week at home. I started taking her to preschool, still can't hold her up. I teached her to get in/out the car herself prior the surgery. and what is your profession - I'm an administrative assistance. how soon did you go back - Still on medical leave but I want to go back to work, I don't like being home. My sleeve was on July 31, I still feel minimal discomfort and still a lil swollen but I started driving yesterday and I assure you this, you will wakeup feeling less pain every day. Hang in there!

Hi! Please share what vitamins are you taking post-op. Thanks.

Thank you all. I followed Cupcake pillow suggestion and ao far so good.

Hi. My sleeve was on July 31. My husband has been helping me since. On monday he has to go back to work and I need to take my daughter to pre-school. I'm feeling pretty good, a lil discomfort sometimes and still a lil swollen. When did you started driving? Thanks.

Thank you all for your support. I already started the full liquids diet, also some pures. So far so good. I went today protein shopping and got some samples from Vitamin Shoppe. I'm feeling much better

Look this, what do you think? http://www.floydbariatrics.org/floyd-bariatrics-sleeve-gastrectomy-diet.html

I know Wendy, but I wish to know If I can drink something else, we had the same procedure I believe whatever you guys drink I can too. I will obviously ask first. Thanks.

Hi. I had my sleeve on July 31. Started the post-op liquid diet on August 2. I'm on my first week liquid diet and already sick of it. I had a 2 weeks liquid diet pre-op, and I'm so tired of it already. I want to cry everytime I have to drink the same thing. I'm supposed to drink 2onz of liquid every half hour. Including 4onz of protein which I hate and make my stomach feel weird. I which I could drink something else than broth, juice or water. Please share what you had on your first week! Thanks.

Hi. I'm on my first week liquid diet and already sick of it. I had a 2 weeks liquid diet pre-opplklp

Thanks. I'm not allowed to drink milk this week. See my fase 1 diet. 2onz every 30 minutes.

Hi! I just got back from the hospital. I'm on the first stage of the liquid diet and I need 60gr of Protein intake. I have to drink PreProtein but It tastes so bad, It make my stomach feel weird. Can you please suggest any protein I can drink during this fase? Thanks for your help.

Hi, this pain is awful! I hope to feel better soon. Just had my 2nd walk and It hurts like hell.

Getting ready!

Hi! Everything is goin to be ok, just follow all the doctors orders. My sleeve is today and I'm excited and scared too but super positive. Good luck.

You look AMAZING.

Hi! I'm doing the sleeve today and not allowed to drink/eat anything for the next 3 days. On the 4th day I'll start a clear liquid diet for 7 days, then fase 2 liquid diet for 7 more days and mashed foods fase 3 for another week. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm getting the sleeve today and I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers

The protein I used is PreProtein 20 3onz daily. It taste so bad that It make me nauseas, I feel you.

They say 2 weeks to prepare you phisically and mentally, but with 5 days is more than enough.

I know this post is really old but I tried the chew and spit yesterday cuz the idea crossed my mind without even knowing, then I decided to look on the internet for the right term and I found this page. I do it for the same reasons, I'm on my 6th day of the liquid diet pre-surgery. It's a very restrictive diet compared to the ones I've seen on this page. I'm only allowed to drink clear broths, crystal light, gelatin sugar free, popsicles sugar free, sugar free hard candy (can't eat that much cuz It hurts my mouth) and 16 oz of white cranberry juice, apple juice or white grape juice 100%. I'm a coffee drinker so I get the anxiety during the morning especially. So yesterday I did the "chew and spit" and It helps a lot. I think is gross too but It helps the craving. So what If its an "eating disorder" if It helps, it's valid.
