Great idea, Matt!

I had TWO glasses of wine last night when hubby & I went out for our birthdays/anniversary. I had a designated driver and I don't feel guilty in the least. Part of me wishes I had gotten sick though, so that I wouldn't be tempted to do it again Additionally, I had the wine with my meal!

So today I realized a work dress I have not worn in 3 years fits, I lost 6 pound in a week, and I choked on a Tylenol. Grind your pills people.

How are you all doing ?

I hear you, I also freaked out when my shirt had bloody spots. Let me know how it goes. Hopefully you're gonna heal soon

You absolutely need to go back for that. The incision is not gonna heal by itself with the yellow stuff.

As long as there is no green, there is no infection. But you still need specific care.

I was sleeved on June 5. I am attaching my worst incision that also reopen. It's less than an inch long. The clinic wants to see me every two days and they said it should take another 2-3 weeks before it heals. Just to give you an idea.

I had something similar. They were basically gas - air that I swalloed while I was eating. It is way more difficult for the sleeve to burp than a regular sized stomac. Eating smaller sips helped me but also just time. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and it is completely gone.

Yes you are able to paranoid ! But also, give yourself time. It is normal to experience new sensations

I had my meeting with my nutritionnist this morning. She said 800 cals is fine, not too much, that it could be lower but not really to change anything major. The most important thing is to not eat food that is not nutritive or that we don't need.

I was able to get in touch with my NUT too. She said I’m right on track with calories. She said same about eating nutritional food. The goal is to get between 60-80g of Protein per day and my calories are fine for now. Though I must say I was closer to 600 calories yesterday and felt a little more energetic. I think I will shoot for 600 calories the next few days and see how that goes.

I was sleeved on June 5. I don't think I have a lot of swelling in my stomach left because I can eat about 3/4 cup of food in a setting. I eat about 800 cal a day, 60g of protein, but I will see my NUT tomorrow so this might change. I start mushy food today, I have been on purees for a week, I think ? At this point, I can more or less eat like the rest of the family : crustless quiche, dahl, cauliflower and ricotta puree. Today, I am making turkey meatballs so I am super excited !

@pearldrop so no infection, yeah ! But 3 out of 6 incisions are open - healed inside but they are not closing any time soon. So I need to go back to the clinic every two days so they can check for infection and change the bandage. Oh well. How was your day back at work ?

How is everyone doing ? Are you all losing like crazy ?

I do not put anything on my incisions because they are still covered at the moment, except for one (this one is healing great). In fact, I might have a start of infection in one so I am going to the clinic tomorrow

Good luck for your return to work tomorrow ! Hope everything goes smoothly.

Well done ! You ARE a fast healer! I hope the diet is going just as well. Are you on purees ?

I just had my staples removed today and most of my incisions are far from gone. I think I move a little too much with my 2 year old.

Wow pearldrop you're doing great with Water. I am really jealous of your daily coffee. I can have Decaf in 3 days. It's starting to be a long time, especially because I feel so low energy.

I am on semi-liquid now so I am allowed soft rice crispies in milk for breakfast. I have 1/2 cup of Protein Shake for snack or yogurt and Soup for lunch or dinner. I also like frozen shakes for dessert or snack.

I had the sleeve surgery on June 5. I weighed 222lbs that day, my heaviest was 247 in January. I lost 13 pounds by myself and then 12 on the liquid diet. I threw my scale out before the liquid diet so I won't obsess with it. I am meeting my nutritionnist next week and i will weigh in then.

I am curious about what you're eating at that point.

I just weighed in for the first time since the surgery and I lost 6 pounds in one week. That is 14 lbs since the liquid diet, or 6% of my weight. Pre op and post-op liquid diets are not easy but let's keep our eyes on the price

To the sleevers getting surgery today, I have you in my thoughts.
