Thank you for sharing that geelynn.

Congrats Jay! I cant wait to say Im in maintenance mode lol. I was sleeved in 2/27. First day back at work today. Anything you learned would be great!!! How to handle trigger foods, temptations... Any words of wisdom that if u had known back then u would do over? ????

I made it thru Day 1 back at work. Im now ready for coma to commence. Only i truly need to get my protein and more fluids in. Soooo tired tho. Hugs all. Hope you are all doing well!

Oh that is sooo good to hear Cloud 9! I wondered if u were able to get rid of the gas pain. So good to hear you are holding down liquids better too! 4lbs is great! They pump u full of fluids before you leave so u prob lost more than u realized.

Just as a side note too because its interestingly similar in symptoms. When my thyroid count is off, i have these same exact symptoms. And its in charge of our hormones. Bet we r overloading by losing wt so drastically. Interesting. I will def keep my bloodwork up!

Way to work that sleeve!!! Congratulationssss!

Yay!!! That is so amazing to feel I imagine!!! Congrats!

We know how that feels hun. Just remember you have to give your body time to heal. It will be well worth not having complications.

Mouth wateringggg

Thats what i got was the box soup! I sent my son out to grab the rest if the ones on the shelf. Organics are limited apparently in our store near the house haha. Greek? Sounds interesting. I will have to look for it!

@ akay1117 I am cracking UP!

Walk walk.walk pumpkin. It will relieve the gas much quicker. I have also heard that if u sip while standing it may be easier. Everything is a bit swollen for u right now. It will all calm down soon. Where is the gas pain at?

My sense of smell has amplified up out of this world. Im with u. Im not on foods yet but i.can see how that would make it hard to eat.

Yes it is! Hahaha

Have you tried wearing the compression belt thingy they have u at the hospital? That will stop the constant pulling while standing and walking. Looks like an oversized ace bandage with velcro.

I did gummi vitamins. No irritation. There are also liquid vitamins available as well.

Most that lose well seem to stay with the 20gr or less of carbs.

I finally hit the two week mark and got to eat soup! I chose tomato and roasted red pepper creamy soup. It was like HEAVEN on earth good!!!

I did. I got sleeved on 2/27. Today will be the beginning of week 3 for me and.i move up to full liquids. Soup! I cannot wait for tomato and roasted red pepper soup. Lol And yogurt. And amd and. Hahaha If this os the hardest part of our new life I.will definitely take it. My stats; HW 338 Pre surg W 308 Day i came back from sug i weighed 316 CW 290.0 So i lost 18lbs plus the 8lbs of fluids they pumped into me already. ????

Hi Nikki. Walking is your best bet. I hear a lot of folks get air up near their shoulder blades or neck. Walking will help to dissapate it.

I love your updates!!! Keep up the work girlie! You are on a roll!!!

Most hospital stays are 1-3 days barring no complications other than perhaps a hernia repair. I was in for 2 days. Could have left at 1 day but chose to stay. I was one of the crazy ones that went back to work a few days after surgery. Wrong move. I made it thru about 3 days and slept non stop for a few days. Took this next week off. Its not the pain. Its the lack of energy as he said. Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress!

@ @@titan05 Hood luck on your surgery. Let us know if you need anything or have questions!

Very proud of you Nicole! I am so.glad you made a concious decision and moved forward. Thats whatbthis whole.process is about. New and improved ways of eating. Your body will def thank you!

We lead similar lives my friend. I am glad to see you on the path and look forward to see you push through hurdles you never imagined you could conquer!
