Sleeved Oct 7 and I have hit that dreaded three week stall. I haven't lost any inches in a week and no weight loss for four days..I'm also still exhausted. I feel like I could sleep all day and all night! I'm so depressed because I feel like this isn't going to work for me like everything else. Anyone ever feel this way?

Yes! I'm in the exact same place! Sleeved the same day! So frustrated.

So, at the beginning of next month after all October sleevers are sleeved, are we moving to a post surgery forum? i am one week out today and feeling good. One more week and then on to mush, off of just liquids. Enjoying the journey, feeling good and more energy,

Or we could do a Facebook group?

I went back to work today. I'm in customer service so on the phone and typing all day. Did fairly well until about 4:30 when my shoulders got real tense and I got sleepy. My co-workers said I hit my wall. Think I'll sleep great tonight!

Has anyone tried the New Whey liquid Protien ? If so how did you do with it? I had my sleeve done on the 16th I have doing pretty good with everything thing until today. When I tried the liquid protein... It did not agree with me at all.

You must I mean MUST dilute it. It's too much for our sleeves. My Dr gave me that tip.

Went for my post op today....and.....I've lost 12% of my excess body weight! I'm so excited! I've also moved on to the mushy soft food stage. I'm going back to work on Monday.

Continue to stay positive and determined!

Tomorrow is our day October 14th sleevers. How is everyone feeling? Excited, scared, a little of both? Any advice from those post op? Any last minute preps going on? Can't wait to start this journey. Praying we all have no complications and a quick recovery.

Continuing to pray for everyone! There are several for tomorrow...stay positive! Get up and walk as soon as you can but do not get down on yourself if you can't do it quickly! Different ages and bodies! Remember....we've all got this!

I would say day of and day after are the worst. Day 2 post op you start to feel normal and restless. Today is day 3 and even though we're only a couple hours in to the day, I can already tell a difference from yesterday.

Think positive and a hospital support person is definitely a key!

I am up and walking and got home last night. Still sore but it's improving. The key is to keep walking. The thirst part was the worst part of day 1. Take your chap stick!! Ask for a sponge to run in your mouth. Y'all have got this!

Checking in....had my sleeve done yesterday morning. Had little nausea and pain has been bearable for the most part. Not sure if I'll go home today or tomorrow.

The closer Tuesday morning gets the more nervous I get! I know God is with me and without Him I would not be able to do this. I am confident in my surgeon but having never been in the hospital and this being my first procedure has my nerves on edge. Prayers going out for all of us!!

Thank you for typing up the list!! Great prayer list!

10/6 surgery date! Starting liver reduction diet Today! I am so ready to do this. ????

I like how you worded that. I think liver reduction diet sounds better than liquid diet. I may use that since I start mine tomorrow morning. Going out tonight with friends to say goodbye to the old me.

Thanks so much! Are you starting your pre-op diet tomorrow as well?

I have pre-op on Thursday and liquid diet starts on Saturday.

Hi, I'm scheduled for October 7th. I'm from Greenville, NC. Best wishes to everyone!

Dana, I'm also on Oct 7 and will be having surgery in Hickory, NC. Prayers for you too!

My surgery will be Oct 7th. Good luck to all!

Awesome

????????

Cool! It will be good to keep in touch.

I'm new to this site, but looking forward to connecting & learning & supporting! My surgery will be October 7th.

Don't know if any of you are still around, but hoping to connect with fellow sleevers here in NC. I'm in Winston-Salem and will be having my surgery on October 7th at Frye Regional with Dr. Hata.
