Good deal.
I noticed some calf pain the first two days I was him from the hospital. It quickly passed.
I have no idea what it was.....I'm thinking that it was from dehydration once I returned home. Water intake was insufficient the first 24hrs I was home ????
You are going to love the weight loss that is about to occur. Love it !!!!!!!!

I have them that was the first thing they hooked up on me lol

I signed on as a volunteer facilitator for a new, weekly book club for people with developmental disabilities. We had our first meeting this morning. This is going to be an excellent experience for the participants.

I recently signed up for a Life and Tone class. I have never worked out in public... so that has been new. I'm enjoying it for the most part, lol.

This is awesome. If I ever wear a bikini it will also be the first time (except for one time I wore one at home in the wooded backyard by myself to work on my tan many, many years ago).

Hmm.. my first night was awesome. I got a lot of exercise pushing the pain med button and sleeping in between.

I had steri strips and was told to let them fall off naturally and not wash them. To be safe you should check with your surgeon.

Trouble? Yes. You are starving yourself. You should be able to easily reach 1000 calories by now, 800 at a minimum. If you really can't force more nutrition, then I strongly urge you to see a doctor. Unless you are extremely overweight, a pound a day is a dangerous rate of weightloss. Please seek medical help!

If you eliminate Protein your body will start breaking down muscle to get it. I would talk to your doctor but in my opinion 200 calories per day is dangerously low.

I had my surgery! Can't believe it!! All this waiting and it was finally here... Straight after surgery was horrendous, I was in so much pain from the gas it was almost unbearable, my boyfriend kept rubbing my back and they were giving me tons or morphine to ease it.. After a few hours it had subsided, it's still there but not hurting me anymore.
Managing to drink Water perfectly fine.. Mr surgeon said he thinks I'll be going home early as my surgery was textbook and my recovery is excellent.. He even came into my room to thank me for having an amazing liver and following the pre-op diet, apparently on the operating table they were in shock at just how clean it was haha.
I'm starting to feel 'hungry' now.. I'm not sure if that's in my mind though as my stomach isn't rumbling.. I think I'm just aware that I haven't eaten a thing in 48hrs! I've not been told what my calorie and Protein goals are yet but I'll tell y'all as soon as I know! Xx

Wow! That's a lot of calories! My doctor wants me to get 800 calories and 60-80g of Protein. There is no way I could get that many calories in. I am 3 weeks out and I've lost 16 pounds Erika F. Sleeved 6/6/16

Thank you! Very excited and very hungry !

So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

Wow amazing transformation!!

That's very case-dependent. Some surgeons do outpatient procedures. Every handout I was given by my surgeon said his typical sleeve patient will stay 2 nights in the hospital- they let me go after 1 because I was walking a lot, could keep down my Protein drink, and wasn't hitting the pain button too often.
The general trend seems to be 1-2 nights if no complications arise.
