Ladies feel free to comment as well!
I need some help with my underwear. BAD! I've been in briefs since I was just a little guy and I've tried boxers in my adult life for about a year and I liked the support that briefs gave me. I'm due for new smaller underwear but I have a major problem. As the fat has gone away from my junk I've needed better support to keep the twig and berries from branching out. I've especially had problems with getting into vehicles. The underroos shift over and one of my boys suddenly gets a crash course in bondage and torture. That definitely isn't my thing so a change is in order. I usually wear Hanes or fruit of the Groom. Looking at Wally World revealed that smaller loincloth equals a smaller hammock for the banana and that will only make the problem worse. Please help release me from my bonds and suggest a better fig leaf!

2 week post op check up, all good
Yay!
Bring on puréed food!

I'm a little similar, just seen my surgeon. He said the left side hurts more and for longer. Try not to worry yourself to much, I'm sure your surgeon will put your mind as ease when you see them

No question just wanted to post about eating an egg. First non liquid. I have never actually made just one egg before. I touched it and ate slowly and felt full! Full on ONE egg...amazing.

Take some slippers and loose clothing, something comfy. Take something to read but more of a magazine than a book because the first couple of days the anaesthetic has you snoozing lots!
The first day and night were rough for me, was waiting for my next lot of pain killers, the gas pain is really uncomfortable and kept feeling really sick! After that each day got better and better, keep moving, little and often! Even on liquids I don't feel low energy levels (sleeved 10/25) but I am always cold!
I didn't find the abdomen was that painful, the incisions were more uncomfortable when trying to get comfy in bed, but a nice soft pillow helped!
Best advice... There's light at the end of the tunnel... We're all on a journey, try and stay positive. Everyday were on step closer to out destination
GOOD LUCK!

Try not to panic, everyone is different but I wasn't on liquids only as my pre-op diet. Just a week of eating small portions of healthy food. Like chicken/fish salad. Just do your best to stick to your instructions from here on out

There's light at the end of the tunnel, you're on a journey, keep traveling! Sleeved on the 10/25 and starting to feel 'normal'. Hang in there!

Refreshing to hear, I'm much the same. Sleeved 25/10, I know, stay off the scales... But that's easier said than done! I think I'm an early staller too!

I hadn't had a period in 2+ years and had an absolute nightmare. It's crappy, but normal.

@@Sammy1991 Your body stores estrogen in your excess fat, so when you start burning it, you mobilize all that stored estrogen. It can cause you to have breakthrough bleeding and affect your cycle.
I had completed menopause, so over 12 months with no menses, and I've had a period (and ovulated) every month since my surgery

Thank you Kathy, only had my op on Tuesday, been walking to try and get rid of the gas, I'm constantly burping! I see my doctor in 10 days so will ask him then
I'm feeling good thank you, hope you're well yourself!

Had my surgery 25/10, sent home with 10 days of heparin and told to expect bruising, and nosebleeds. Nasty jabs!

I really want the best out of my sleeve, how long after surgery did people start exercising, and what types of exercise have people found successful? Thanks.
