Did the dr. who did the eval say anything about it when you completed it? When i got done with mine she told me that she was going to approve me and send my evaluation over to the doctors office.

Is that all you could drink? I'm really scared I'm not progressing how fast I should. I can only handle about 20 oz of Fluid a day. I think we all just go at our own pace. I am getting all of my fluids in. But I am not so sure on my protein. Today I only got about 41 grams of protein in so far. I wouldn't worry about what everyone else is doing, because we are all so different.

When I got to the hospital they had me get on my gown and i waited. The doc came and talked to me for a 15 seconds then the anesthesiologist for a couple minutes. After that they wheeled me in the back. they put the mask on me and told me to breath deep then i was out. I woke up and hadn't even know that my surgery was done.

Welcome, and good luck on your journey

Had my surgery on June 15.... good luck to you upcoming sleevers. Its not as bad as you think.

Had my surgery on 6/15/15. 6days post op. Hw 351......makes me sick just thinking about it. Sw 314 Cw 303..... Long ways to go but as long as I am on my way im happy.

I think i might have to do the 64 Oz jug idea.... I have a hard time keeping track of what I'm actually getting in. I know I have to e getting close to if not more though.

My incisions feel fine... I think I have a high tolerance for pain maybe.

I can't wait for veggies... Even eggs sound good and I don't even like eggs

I was sleeved on Monday. And have been sleeping on my stomach for the past three nights. I feel fine.

I had my surgery on Monday and returned to work on Friday... I felt fine. My job is mostly sitting at a computer and driving people.

Gas x definitely helps....

How much walking is everyone getting in so far?

Glad to hear things are looking better! . The nausea was the worst for me but it didn't last three days... Just the morning.

I heard you can gain weight from all of the fluid that you get at the hospital and also from the swelling from surgery.

Thanks I'll have to look again a Walmart last time I checked I couldn't find it.

Where do you get pb2?

Hello... Just wondering how things are going for you?

What? No way!! I would die for some mashed potatoes My post op appointment isn't until July 1st, so unfortunately I can't ask my surgeon anything yet and am a bit embarrassed to ask over the phone. i don't want him to think I'm greedy That is so crazy you can eat pudding and mashed potatoes though. How does it feel to go down? I want to try but am a bit afraid.. I don't want to hurt myself or anything like that. The Dr. Wouldn't discharge me from the hospital until I moved to full liquids and they knew how I was going to do. The first thing I ate was my pudding. Everything has gone down fine since then and that was the day after surgery. I haven't had any issues. Tomorrow I will try and have some cream of wheat with 1 percent milk. Wow your post op is not til July. I thought they tried to schedule for the following week. Mine is next Wednesday.

I am also a June 15th sleever. II was told that I can have strained low fat cream soups, which taste so much better then broth, also I am allowed pudding and thinned out mashed potatoes ( which you can add unflavored Protein powder to). Maybe at your post op appointment you can ask your Dr. if you can add anything else. It is crazy how much each of our diets vary.

I was sleeved on Monday, I am not having any issues getting any of my fluids in and I usually eat 2cream Soups a day a sf ff Jello or pudding in between and a shake in the morning. I haven't been counting calories or Protein like I should be but I think it is close to where it should be. I was just wondering what and how everyone else is eating?

4 days out and already down 11 lbs... finally almost down to the 200's.

I took a bunch of crap with me. Things that I actually used: Phone Charger, with extension cord Chapstick Gas x strips booties with rubber grip (more comfy then hospital socks) Comfy clothes. my blankie Things I wish I would have taken: my pillow
