Hi 1Cor2:9! How are you doing/feeling? I was sleeved on 12/21 and I am doing fantastic.

Thank you! Just requested to join the group.

I am 6 days post op today I went shopping for 4 hrs yesterday and.to a party for 3 hrs last night. Shopping for a few hrs again today and just finished 30 min on the treadmill at a slow pace (2.2 mph). I feel great. No pain.

You will do great!

I was second guessing too but now that it is done (on 12/21) I still think it was the right decision. I have to remember that I have lost weight many times before and always gain it all back and then more. This will be my tool to not do that anymore! My recovery was relatively easy. Gas pain in the hospital but that disipated quickly. Barely used any of my pain medication. Hardest part is head hunger when the rest of the family is eating. We got this!

Elbo920 how are you feeling?

How is everyone doing? I am 4 days post op and feeling good! Tolerating liquids well. Just short on protein. 2 more says and get to move to full liquids. Looking forward to blended soup and my old protein shakes.

I feel the same way. Tolerating liquids very well. Just sounds like I have aliens living in my belly. Very noisy and kinda comical. Having a real problem with protein because all of the clear protein is disgusting. Can't wait until I can have protein shakes again. 2 more days!

How is everyone doing? I slept in the recliner my first night home then tried the bed last night. Came down to t h e recliner about 4am. I have not taken any pain meds yet today cuz I don't want to be sleepy and groggy on Christmas Eve. I'll probably take it before bed tonight. Tolerating liquids just fine. Just can't get that protein in. I ended up buying New Whey shots that have 42g of protein and i can hold my nose and choke it down. But I will only be able to do that once a day. Otherwise healing well. Took a shower this morning which felt so good!

I am not hungry at all! Problem is I cannot force myself to drink the clear protein drinks they taste too nasty to me. My NUT said to try a protein boost shot that are about 3 oz so can get it down quickly. Just so I can get some protein in.

I am only allowed clear liquids for the 1st week then all liquids the second week then 2 weeks.of purees

I was sleeved Monday so I am only 2 days in. Having water, broth. Powerade zero. Everything going done fine. No nausea!!!

I am doing ok...I am sore for sure. Bloated from the gas and that was pretty painful. The had to hold off my diet because I had not had my leak test until this morning. Waiting for my tray now

I am getting nervous. I need to stay off Google...lol

I work as well but I took 3 weeks off. I always take 2 weeks for the holidays anyway. Luckily my kids are 14 and 19 so I have helpers!

choward18 that sounds like heaven. I am really beginning to struggle. On day 5 now

I am allowed more calories I just can't seem to get them in. I can have as many protein shakes as I want, but I am getting sick of chicken and turkey already and stomach tuna without mayo and relish. I'll have some egg beaters today and try to up my protein shakes. Unfortunately, now diarrhea too (sorry, TMI).

On day 4 of my preop diet. Feeling nauseous and weak anyone else feeling this? I am taking in about 800 cal per day.

I stopped my diet coke yesterday! I had already cut WAY back, but yesterday was first day with NONE! Not too bad...

Ok...just starting Day 1 of my preop diet. How restrictive are your diets? I can have as many protein shakes as I want. I am allowed boneless skinless chicken and turkey, water packed tuna., broth, sugar free Popsicles and jello and of course crystal light, powerade zero, etc.

We can do this! Welcome to the 12/21 club!

Preop not gonna be fun...trying to think of this time and the rest of my life as food is merely sustanence and not as fun or rewarding.

I start my preop on friday...10 days Best of luck to you!

I am on the 21st too! Happy, excited, scared, nervous..

Hello everyone! I am so excited to be having my sleeve surgery on 12/21! I wpild.love a buddy to share the experience with!
