I have lost Hank Aaron (180 pounds)

Thank you! Still a but further to go, but not as far as I had. I love Hank and all he accomplished, but I'm happy I don't have to carry him around every day. I'm sure he wouldn't want to carry me either. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Oh my gosh...swabs only was the WORST.

I am struggling to get up to my goal in Water and Protein. Its been tough. It just feels funny. It will be 2 weeks for me on Monday.

Thank you. That helps a lot!

I believe your Protein Shakes count towards your liquids. Just sip constantly. Good luck.

So far so good. My worst experience was the cotton mouth and dry lips immediately after surgery. I was only allowed moistened swabs as needed until I passed the swallow test the following day, meaning 26 hours without drinking liquid. I have very little pain and so far the diet is going surprisingly well. I feel so full after every liquid meal. My only issue has been struggling to get that 64 ounces of Water down and 5 days without a BM until today (okay, probably TMI there).
I lost 20 pounds during the liver shrinking diet and am down 30 since I first began the process in early April. I will have my first post-surgery weigh-in on Wednesday. No food cravings or hunger at this point, and so far all the foods taste the same except the vanilla Protein powder which suddenly tastes twice as sweet.

It does pass! I promise. But the best thing to do is to walk as much as possible. I also used chewable gas x too.

I was sleeved on Monday too and am having the same issue! We got this ????

I can't remember - it's all a fog before coffee...............
probably a month? at first it kinda gave me a sour stomach, and I only had a little bit and then waited a while to have more. now I have a cup of coffee with stevia and fairlife milk/half and half blend most days when I am at work. I do love coffee......... mmmmmmmm coffee......
first the coffee, and then I do the things........

I was a July sleever but an opening advanced me to June 20. Wasn't anxious before, but moving it up a month sure changed that. Good luck with everything and I wish you nothing but success in your journey to a better quality of life.

Had mine done 6/8. One week in I think I'm healing great.

Had mine done a week ago on the 8th. 10 lbs gone already! Good luck to go all, you won't regret it. Just remember to take it slow, it's not a race and don't get discouraged. ???? Blessings!

Had the sleeve done this morning! Feeling a little nauseous but incisions do not hurt...just gas is bothering me from time to time but in general I'm feeling extremely happy to have done this.

I got rid of all the junk weeks ago. I think the struggle is an important part of this process. That way I'm working on self-discipline. I'll try walking too. Thanks guys! [emoji846]

My doctor's office & nutritionist said that a 30 minute walk is an appropriate goal. Take one step at a time and you may surprise yourself!

Tara, have healthy foods available if ur allowed solids and get rid of the stuff u can't have from the house that way u have no option, maybe try half a normal work out and see how u go
