I'm freaking HUNGRYYYY! Eeerrrrgggg!
Oh my you live dangerously. You really have to be careful. Putting food down a 1 week post op sleeve could rip you open and cause you serious harm. When you feel like that drink a high Protein drink. It will help with the hunger or try a sugar free popcicles or Jello, it usually helps right away. Drink you fluids slowly. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

My gastric sleeve journal
I have to say this has been the most painful surgery I've been through, wish I could fast foward through the recovery process..lol I do believe each day is getting better, but only getting 30 grams of Protein in a day after 30 I feel like I just ate a whole thanksgiving meal. I'm miserable but then my mind can't wait til I can eat some kind of food. Today I walked a lot more. Only taking 2 pain pills a day off course they make me sick with no food in my belly. Just getting one step closer ...lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

My gastric sleeve journal
On June 28th,2016 I am getting sleeved. On June 16th, 2015 I had a massive heart attack. I gave myself a year to lose the weight, I only lost 27 pds. I decided to do the surgery to get healthier and try to live a longer life. Night before surgery I'm sitting wide awake a little nervous but I am very surprised I'm not a basket case. Lol. My highest weight was 311, my surgery weight is 293. My goal weight is 170. I'm so ready to say goodbye to this body, looking foward to seeing the new me.

Hi Marc, My name is kim and I live in south florida, I also have heart disease, had a heart attack one year ago in june. I am getting sleeved June 28th. I spoke with my primary, my cardiologist and anthesilogist all of them say this surgery is only gonna help our hearts and let us live a longer and healthier live. I too am scared as hell, nervous and excited all in one. But I also know this damn weight is gonna kill me. It was nice to hear a story like mine. If you want we can be heart sleeve buddies.
