You are doing great I am also drinking way more Water and Protein. A lot of people try to stay away from Protein Drinks the first week I couldn’t. I drink more water then protein. But from talking to a lot of vet sleevers I was told to drink as much protein as possible because you will loss more hair then you want too. I am super afraid of this. This is one of my fears loss hair. I do understand in the end it will come back but I don’t care. I want to loss as less hair as possible while on this journey. Not sure if all my swallowing is gone yet, I don’t think so but I am down a few pounds. I don’t care what and who pounds they are there gone 🙏🏾 I more week liquid. I also get up and down like a snail.

I weighed NINE POUNDS more when I got home than when I got in. I'm now 3 lbs below my going in weight. So down 3 lbs overall. They told me not to weigh myself for 2 weeks. But...weighers gotta weigh weigh weigh LOL

6 days post op. Things are going well. I'm keeping my fluids and Protein down. Whenever I get a craving for "food" I either get a Popsicle or some Jello and "fake it". A couple of good things have come out of this.
1) I can now drink coffee black. I've been trying for several years to kick the creamer habit, and it finally happened.
2) I don't know if any of you ladies have this issue, but I've always had a weak bladder. Since this surgery I don't have to "rush" anymore. I'm loving it.
I've lost all my surgery swelling/water weight and a couple of pounds more. but I'm not really paying much attention because I have plenty of time right now, and my recovery must come first. Also I had my first BM this morning. Everything went fine and I had no problems. I know it sounds like I'm having a easy breezy time of this, but I assure you my incision is still hurting and I walk around like a 90 yr old woman. I've been icing my side and that helps some.
How is everyone else doing?

I used zicam . I recovered very quickly and it didn’t interfere with my Sugeiry.

½ cup Jello is worth 2 oz. I think. I could be wrong

Good luck today.. You're gonna do great!

Day 1 of pre-op diet, the head hunger is a bh . I don’t physically feel hungry but every time I stop moving I want to eat. Definitely going to have to start doing my workout videos again when I’m not being busy. Ugh doing homework, studying, waiting for my kids to get out of school; I didn’t realize how much I used to just sit and mindlessly eat. It makes me really mad at myself for having let this happen. I will get through this, we all will, and be better for it


Have a great day!

I hear ya. Sippy Sippy Sippy is a little sing song I sing to myself. It gets me through it. Popcicles are worth 3 oz... just a heads up.

I really think it will depend on your surgeon. My sister had her surgery in August this year, but was originally scheduled in July, but she was postponed due to an upper respiratory infection. But I would check with your surgeon too. I really hope you feel better asap!

Had a NSV today: didn't need a seatbelt extender on my flight this morning!

So glad we have each other!
My surgery is 11/14, tomorrow! So nervous about the surgery, my children, work, and what life will be like afterwards. From NY/NJ area.

GOOD LUCK!

Heading to the hospital for a 7am surgery. Good luck to everyone.

I'm fixing to have my 2nd Protein Drink of the day. Fluids have staying down okay. I added some MIO flavour Water and that makes my stomach happy.
I will say that it takes me a while to get everything drank because I have to wait a minute for beatrice (what I named my new tool) to take what I give her and work with it to send it down the line.

Thank you so much. I knew this was gonna hurt.. but I didn't know for how long. I can live with it. I'm going to get sooo much more than a little pain out of this.

I got my sleeve on 11/8. I was pre-warned by my cousin who had her sleeve last March that the incision where they took my stomach out is going to hurt. Anyone else going through this? Any ideas on how to keep the soreness down? So far all I've done is ice it, it helps for a little while until I have to move. I feel like I've done too many sit-ups and I now have a "stitch" in my side.
