@katebruin what are the foamies???

@ Sharon it will take awhile my first two weeks I thought was this worth it. I couldn’t drink enough I could only do liquid and not much of it. Now best thing I’ve ever done for myself . You’ll get there.

I’m 4 weeks out and have been eating almost normal food, no bread or other sticky dishes. Ate popcorn yesterday it made me feel a little sick I think I was that movie butter. Went from size 22 to size 12 so far.

They told me before I was cleared that divorce is something that happens in a large % of people. Maybe talk to your spouse and try to get the the bottom of the negativity

It will get better

I was afraid but if you really want something you have to not let the fear take you over. Also my surgeon does like 4 of these a day so that was reassuring. Right after surgery I regretted it because I was in so much pain. 2 weeks out and I’m glad I did it. Even though where they took my stomach out still hurts like a bitch.

I had my sleeve on 4/8 and I’m right there with you. Never thought I’d kill to eat an egg.

I was very nervous but these surgeons do like 4 of these a day. You’ll be fine. Sending prayers your way

I was, I didn’t get any protein drink. They gave me broth with powder in it, and the smell alone made me so nauseous. It will pass. Ask them for the 3 day patch. It worked very well on me

It will hurt to drink a lot if you’re like me. The thing is to try different temperatures. Hot and room didn’t go well for me, but really cold helped. It’s also important to not get a lot of air when drinking. Something I’m having a problem with since I am a fast drinker. As time passes and you keep making yourself drink it will get better. Me personally I’m looking forward to eating real food in 6 weeks. I hope you heal fast and drinking won’t hurt you that much. Best of luck

Good luck monster.

Vegan gainz brand is a good choice. Not as hard on your stomach and will only help you build muscle.

Good luck to everyone who has had their surgery or is coming up. I’m on day 4 post op and still in a lot of pain. Drinking is not fun and my big stitched sight is hurting.

Hi, I’m getting my sleeve tomorrow and just any advice post op would be wonderful. I’m very interested in healing time, how soon you can start to workout again and how much weight everyone lost in the first 30,60,90..... days. I go back to school in 30 days and not sure if I should be expecting to buy new clothes.

Jules morning doctor put me on 5 8 oz protein shakes a day plus one meal with no carbs such as bread and pasta allowed. I get bad migraines as well but eating my one meal around 3-5 helped.

That’s good to know. Hopefully I’ll have one tomorrow since that’s my 3rd day. The doctor said it might not be for a week, which I’m not looking forward to if it does take that long.

Luckily I’m urinating fine. Haven’t had a BM yet tho. The gas still hurts. I had a hynial hernia repair with my sleeve and drinking water is super painful. They weirdly took me off my iv earlier today. Which I thought was strange since I can’t even finish a 16 oz of water.

Thanks everyone. Coming out of Anesthesia took awhile. Kept dozing off all afternoon( surgery was noon:30) Lots of pain, nurses said it was gas pain. Started walking yesterday. Got to eat ice chips around 10pm. Starting me on my liquid diet today and just sipping water hurts. I wonder how long the pain from that is going to last?

I just had my surgery today April 8th What kind of surgery? Sleeve Height? 5’6” Starting weight? 260 Goal weight? 130

There’s a lot of different docs in Mexico. We have a vet in Mexico and it’s so much cheaper. I would just read reviews if you choose to go there. I’m probably going to go there for my skin removal since it’s so much cheaper.

It’s about $5k if you go to Mexico includes everything too
