Just went for my first post op visit. I lost 9lbs, the dr was satisfied. He gave me the go ahead for the next food phase. I came home mix up my tuna and light mayo....mmmm I ate small bites and about halfway thru I feel like I swallowed a cannon ball. Reality check! I really have to slow down eating, wait between bites and I sure can't eat a lot. Lesson learned. Next appointment in 3 weeks and the doctor is looking for a 10lb loss. BM issue almost gone, thank God. Hope everyone's issues are slowly disappearing.

Not to share TMI but yesterday I thought I was going to blow up! I hadn't had a BM since before my surgery on the 25th. The pain was unbearable...finally I was able to go. I walked this morning and had another successful event. Gas is still bad. Anyone else having this issue?

Day 5, gas is minimal thank God. Have not gotten my protein in yet but I'm a work in progress. Had a nice walk and I'm hoping that will help with the residual gas. My urine is clear so no worries of dehydration. NO BM as of yet. I can actually say I'm beginning to feel alive. My scale broke so I have no idea how much weight I've lost. I'll know Tuesday when I go to Dr's. I hope all my fellow August sleevers are doing well.

I think most people get pre surgery jitters of some kind. After the recovery time most people are glad they went ahead. Everyone's experience is different as you can see by reading the posts. I was sleeved 8/25 and each day has been a little better. The first day when I woke up I thought, "geeze this is permenant". You must do what is best for you. Personally I'm glad I did it. Good luck no patter what!

That's how I feel, so far 4oz tomatoe soup is my best friend.

Day five and gas is still bad, but generally better. Ate a puddong with protein in it for breakfast and a half a cup of coffee. It will be soup for lunch. Goal for today is to walk outside.

Amorga, I have a 5lb lift limit, so be careful! Good luck.

I got dilaudid in the hospital IV for pain and Tylenol w/codine for home. That may be making me dizzy. I think I may be a little dehydrated, I'm trying to push more liquids. The only real discomfort I have is from the gas. I do have some uncomfortable feelings in my left side where I think most of the surgery was done they also fixed a hiatal hernia in me but it's not really painful. No energy, but not eating much. I had no drain.

Hello all, looks like I'm the wimp of the bunch. I've slept for 72 hrs. I was very dizzy and just gave up walking. I have suffered from dizziness in the past. Gas is bad and abdominal pain a close second. Gas coming out slowly and today I made it to my living room. I've sipped some liquids and also found burping after helps. Not to ask TMI but has anyone had a bowel movement? I can actually see improvement so I'm not giving up. Good luck to all of you guys.

Today's the day! Here we go.

Good luck tomorrow peewee!

Newme Vanessa, and Micky, good luck to you guys too. Seems like there's 6 of us. If I forgot anyone I'm sorry. Here's to us!

Snow kitten and mskiesha, good luck tomorrow. Can't wait to share experiences.

Well in 16 hours I check into the hospital. Thank God for friends who have kept me busy all day. The anticipation is overwhelming, but with my friends here I have hardly thought about food and made my clear liquids day bearable.

Well tomorrow's the day. I wish all folks getting sleeved tomorrow the best. Clear liquids today, can't wait for this day to be over. I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Loristi, so happy to hear of your success hoping everything continues to go well good luck!

Loristi, so glad to hear of your good fortune praying that it continues best of luck!

Great news for you... I am sure all will continue to go well for you good luck!

Loristi, So happy for you! Good luck. I go Monday.

Good luck. Tomorrow I start on clear liquids. This day is crawling by, and tomorrow may be worse. I took a shower with the pre surgical scrub, one tomorrow and one before I go to the hospital on Monday. I'm so filled with anticipation and excitement I can hardly stand myself. Well I wish you the best of luck keep posting.

That's awesome! Congrats and keep me posted on your progress! Yeah!

ShirleyJ84, good luck incase I'm not coherent on Monday.

Congrats ayscott74 on your success. I'm scheduled for Monday at 9am. I'm psyched
