mnwimomof3 do you mind if I ask if you were exercising much during those 6 months? If so, what type of exercises. Your results are awesome! I'm hoping for the same. I'm 2 weeks out and down 14 lbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Please don't worry. That first week tells you nothing other than "OUCH". Your body is in shock and trying to recover. I didn't really notice things starting to change til day 9. I don't really let the scale tell me my progress. I can tell in my clothes. Hang in there sweetie. Follow your surgeon's instructions. It will happen! Promise!

Frustrated and don't want to go up the crazy tree of doubt!

I hate to bring this topic up in a public forum but I don't have anyone else I can ask. So for you men out there, you'll probably want to stop reading this now, lol. I am 11 days post sleeve. I started my period today and the nausea is horrible. I never had nausea with my periods before I was sleeved. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

YAY!!! So glad you're doing well.

I am 9 days out and the cravings have kicked in 10 fold!! I truly did not realize how dependent I am on food to "feel better." This has been the biggest eye opener for me! Stay strong my friend. We got this!

I soooo needed to read these very words! Thank you!!!!

@@Christinamo7 it has been this ever since the surgery. I forgot to mention that I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. @@BigDog Bryan thank you for this information. I had no idea it took 1hr for 4 oz! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am 8 days post sleeve. My Water and Protein shakes still seem to be getting stuck before finally going down. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? If so, does it ever go away? It's rather uncomfortable. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I can SOOOO relate to everything you've said. The 4th day was the absolute worst for me. The incision your speaking of was incredibly painful for me as well. Getting out of bed was excruciating. That 4th day I felt that perhaps I had made a huge mistake with this surgery. I too wanted to be off pain meds. However, day 5 was a lot better. By day 6 I felt good enough to return to work. Believe me, you're not alone. It gets better, I promise. Just hang in there.

Had my surgery the morning of 4/12/16 and was home by that afternoon. I returned to work 4/18/16. It was just the right amount of time for me. Everyone heals differently.

We'll see you on the other side of your new life! I'm excited for you too! Just had mine 4/12/16. Keep us posted!! Prayers ????

I was sleeved 4/12 and I'm returning to work tomorrow 4/18. I'm going stir crazy at home. Hopefully all goes well.
-
Ooooh that's a good idea! I wonder if they are too!

I was just sleeved 4/12. I stocked up on chicken and beef broth, bottled water, caffeine free Crystal Light which I had trouble finding. Everything is geared towards energy these days. I made the mistake of drinking unsweet tea. I completely forgot about the caffeine. I won't make that mistake again. I also stocked up on my protein shakes. Good luck on your new journey!!
