I tried the elliptical machine yesterday, and found that my energy was not enough and once I switched to walking on the treadmill I was able to walk for 40 minutes no problem. I will be doing the treadmill only for another couple of weeks. I also try to get in a lot of water the first part of the day before I switch to pureed food. VSG 29th April 2019.

Agree with the others. If I drink to fast i get a little reminder from my baby stomach to hold my horses.

I was on pureed from the hospital. I would not have had the energy if I was on liquid for another week or 2.

Thanks guys! @ProudGrammy I will take retirement any day lol. @karenbb8 the week I was home I was mainly on my bed and couch and found I had less energy. I think the more I am up and about the more energy I get.

I had my sleeve exactly one week ago today and I went back to work today. It wasn't bad at all. I drank plenty of water and ate my proteins on schedule. Still a little sore when I cough or sneeze, but that is to be expected.

I was sleeved on April 29th one week ago and my appetite is gone I feel no desire to eat but I still do to get my protein and fluid in. Yesterday I made spaghetti with ground meat and Italian sausage and I had zero craving or the urge to eat. I am on the pureed stage for one month.

Best of luck.!!

Hey brown lady you go girl. Glad you are doing well. Like you my surgery went well. I have no gas pain and I am eating and drinking well except for a little soreness when I laugh or sneeze. I did 1/2 at the gym today and will be back at work on Monday exactly one week from my surgery. My friend who did her surgery on the 18th still have nausea and vomits at time. Wishing you many successes

Ahh hope you are doing well so far.

Congratulations, before you know it you will be having your surgery.

I was told no baby food. A simple Greek yogurt with applesauce and a scoop of isopure unsweetened protein give me 42 grams of protein. My dietitian wants at least 50 grams. That's what I eat for breakfast through lunch. Later I would have split peas soup, 4oz and 3-4 oz of ground chicken pureed in crushed tomatoes.

You have made a good choice and congratulations on taking your life back. I was also sleeved on the 29th. So far so good walking and getting around is ok, although I feel a bit of a pain by the largest incision site. I am showering with no problem. I also washed dishes with no issue standing. Everything is to sweet, but I've been drinking premier protein shakes this morning. I've also been taking my vitamins no problems. I am full after 2 spoonfuls. I have no cravings or urge to eat, but I have to eat to build muscles.

Our program go to pureed stage while in the hospital and this stage will last for one month. As a matter of fact they won't release you if you haven't advance to pureed stage. A friend of mine stayed 2 nights in the hospital due to nausea and she also experienced a lot of gas. I have no gas pain. I am hoping to reach all goals today or close enough which is about 50grams protein and 64oz water.

I am up and about, trying to get my water and protein in. I am full after 2 spoonfuls of greek plain yogurt with unsweetened apple sauce and a scoop of isopure unsweetened protein powder. I am going to try to go to the gym tomorrow. I am really cold and may invest in a small space heater. I am covered up with 3 blankets. All and all pain is manageable and I am not having any gas pains. Knock on wood. My cat keep trying to lay down on my stomach smh. I am thankful for my sons 20 and 23 yr old. My 9 yr old daughter is to busy playing ROBLOX with her friends. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Gaby, Water is my best friend. Everything else taste like syrup.

I am home resting. First day was a lot of pain but it is now manageable. I have 6 incision 4 small ones and 2 large one. Looks like the made the incision where I had my gallbladder removed. I am onto pureed, but 2 spoonfuls of yogurt fills me up. I am sipping water, everything else taste like syrup. No head hunger and I am uninterested in eating. The team at Mt. Sinai hospital NYC was absolutely amazing.

Today at 10:am and I am checked in. Already have my identification wrist band on. My son is with me. Good luck to you.

I am filled with so much emotions right now. Wishing everyone having surgery today and the finals of the April group. Thank you all so much for all of the valuable advice and information you all post, they have helped me so much.

Just checked in. Good luck to everyone having surgery today.

The day is finally here. Heading to the hospital. Good luck to all having surgery today.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I am so ready because these last 2 days of this liver diet of liquid only is no joke. My Ghrelin better not be there after I wake up.lol. On the bright side I went from 260 to 243. Not bad at all. I will try to rest after I am done watching Game of Thrones.

I am having surgery tomorrow and don't see the need to tell people about my medical procedures. None of my coworkers know. I told one friend and she was not enthusiastic and she have never asked how the process is going no matter how often we talk. My two older children knows and they are very happy that I made the decision. No other family members know. I befriended one girl who had the surgery and she is super supportive. The only other person is my EX who never judged my weight and also is very supportive.

Sending good cheers and hope you feel better soon. You got this.

It's quite rewarding when one exceeds their own golds or those set by others. Don't be afraid to set your own goals.

Folks are donating their clothes. I haven't seen where people are holding on to clothes that are to big. I for sure will be taking the clothes that no longer fit to a church or goodwill. I can see where someone may hold on to one item to show how far they've come in their journey.
