Same here, I can have eggs now and I can barely put 2 down. I could eat 4 egg omlette and a pound of bacon no prob. The way we eat food is drastically changed and our bodies need to adjust. Any questions you have don't hesitate to ask. SW: 481 CW: 425 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Just got to battle on, believe things get better. Everything you do has to be done slowly. Your body is getting used not having a bunch of room for stuff and it's adjusting. SW: 481 CW: 425 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Yeah I got one at Walmart for like 12.00. Makes my tummy feel better after a walk or any pain I have. Also I have used my pill splitter more than I thought. I got constipation and I bought gummy fiber and worked great. SW: 481 CW: 425 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Heating pad is a must, it alleviates the soreness of your incisions and warms up your core. I am 12 days out and still use it. SW: 481 CW: 425 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

All about the end result!! It is tough but is necessary for the surgeon to perform the surgery without complications. 6 months from now you will be wearing smaller clothes and feel great about yourself!! SW: 481 CW: 425 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Had my sleeve on 8/9/2017 and doing great. Started 481 (college I was 215 ugh). Down 50 with pre-op and first week. Looking to hit under 400 by Halloween!! SW: 481 CW: 434 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Hello all I am now sleeved! Had my surgery on 8/9 at 2:00p. This is day 3 and not as bad as I imagined. Pain is treated with oxycodone liquid so not a huge issue. Still sleeping in a recliner, bed too much of a pain with the drain tube. Had my first protein shake and took 8oz in 45 min with no issues! Haven't weighed myself cause all the gas and swelling so will wait until day 5 to do that. Started this journey on 5/5/2017 and weighed in at 481. I decided on changing my life with the birth of our first child. I want to be around for her future. Surgery weight was 442. The best feeling I have had so far (and I know it's gross) is passing gas, never been so happy and relieved to pass gas. Feel pretty good and anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer if I can!! Good luck all! SW: 481 CW: 442 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

You will do and be great!! SW: 481 CW: 434 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

Thank you!! SW: 481 CW: 434 GW: 230 Sleeved 8/9/2017

6 days out and I feel really good!! Getting 60-70 grams of protein, 70 oz of water, no more gas pains!! Taking all meds without issues. Finally had a bowel movement, woohoo. I have the drain tube in until Thursday ....ugh but hopefully I can move to pureed foods this week. I feel like I can eat a steak without problems (well 2oz).

Hey all, new here. Looking for some online support/advice on my journey in this. Surgery is scheduled 8/9/2017 and I am now on my 2 week pre op diet.

So you are on an all liquid diet? I have 3 protein shakes and 1 lean cuisine (prepared meal). Seems a lot of doctors put patients on an all liquid diet. All the diet consists is 800 calories seems like, I don't know why an all liquid diet is necessary

It will be here before we even know it. What are gals you eating for pre op diet?

Doing great, nervous of course. Pre op diet is tough but looking at the light at the end of the tunnel! Watched slot of stories on YouTube which eased my mind.

I have liked EAS advantage carb control. Chocolate and Strawberry are the best.

I am new aswell! I am being sleeved 8/9/2017....I am in the 2 week pre op diet. Excited but nervous.
