@Freiabr. No not yet. I’ve been cleared to. My doc has asked for 1 hour 5 times a week. I haven’t taken action with my eating or exercising yet. My plan for today is to read and get some motivation. I’ve lost 14 pounds so far. I will update measurements on Tuesday at our 4 week mark. How are you doing with your protein and water intake? Any tips to your success?

@Freiabr. You are my surgery twin. Sounds like we are pretty much at the same point. Have you started exercising?

@notmyname. I feel your pain. Last night was of the devil. Pain everywhere. I’m wondering if it’s like the body detoxifying or what? The first few days i felt amazing for just having had surgery.

@amiekinsRN. You and i are surgery twins. I think the pain is pretty manageable as well. This experience was much better than i anticipated. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Fluids and proteins are going to be interesting for me as well. I feel full after water.

@yvonne47 @katterbees. I’ve been drinking today. Drinking water and soup broth. Not much protein yet. Im not hungry at all either but i have to feed the belly. She seems to get a little angry after a while. I’ll remember to be careful with dehydration.

@byefat. Thank you. This is my first day home. Surgery was yesterday afternoon. I’ll go find that pillow. I have one somewhere.

@Yvonne47. How far are you out?

@Yvonne47. I just experienced that. I tried to partially lay on my side and it felt like my insides were dropping. I guess i will attempt to sleep on my back.

@katterbees what did they give you for pain? You’re a rockstar. You’ve already walked the block!!!!! I thought i was a badass by going to the bathroom and walking the halls. Lol. Is this your first surgery? I’m a revision from lapband to sleeve

@katterbees. You’re my surgery twin. I just came home about an hour ago. How’d everything go for you?

@crankymagpie. Thanks for compiling the surgery list. I am also October 30

@crankymagpie thanks for compiling the list. I am also October 30

Hi. In October 30. I got moved from November 6.

Wow. I never thought about using the protein shakes as creamer. That is genius. I haven't started the pre-op diet yet. My whole mind was into starting today but then I had parent's lunch at school with the girls and I had not prepared. I will need to get myself ready because there will always be something that will get in my way. I am thankful you all are here and I have someone to bounce ideas and thoughts off of. What are you all taking to the hospital? Is anyone trying the vitamin patches?

Wow!!!! I am having surgery on November 6 as well. I guess we will all have turkey broth for Thanksgiving. I am excited even though I won't be eating my way through the holidays. I am excited about a new year and a new outlook. Hope we can all stay in touch along this journey. By the way, I am getting a revision from Lap Band to Gastric Sleeve.
