Same here! I spend time with the heating pad on it - and it seems to help.

Trisha - I'm in the same boat. Was only able to get about 10 oz of protein and 20 oz of water in today. But I'll keep trying. My stomach just keeps saying NO!

I was sleeved Monday and have a lot of pain around my big incision as well. And I'm gassy too! Trying to lay off the pain meds and only got about 1/2 of my liquids in today (was sleeping the other half). Start on full liquids tomorrow. Slow and steady ladies -- slow and steady.

I agree -- things are definitely getting better. The incision where they pulled the stomach out is painful --but I'm feeling much better than expected. We got this team!

Good luck everyone!!! We are doing this! Let's check in on Tuesday to see how we're doing. ????????????????❤️❤️

Holy moly, I'm ready for this liquid diet to be over and to get on with it! Two more sleeps friends and our new lives begin! ❤️❤️

At this time next week -- I'll be sleeved! Can't wait to take my life back.

Yea!! I'm a week from tomorrow. I start all liquids tomorrow. Bring it on.

@@Colleen Couldn't agree more. Wish I did this year's ago. But we're doing it now and taking back our lives!
