Day 5 after sleeve, very tired, little energy, drinking 70+ oz. of water a day. Premier shake is giving me the runs, taking 2 imodium to control that. Have lost 11.4 pounds so far. Also had my gallbladder removed at the same time as the sleeve. I'm planning to call my dr. tomorrow but does this sound like I'nm in the normal range of post op experiences? Thanks!

May 5th I got my sleeve and today I had my first bowel movement. I used a mild laxative and feel better now. My Dr. said I wouldn't have a movement until a week had passed.

Got my sleeve last Tue. May 7th.

This is good to know! Tomorrow morning I'm having sleeve surgery.

You're absolutely right! My balloon doctor said almost nothing about diet; just 95 grams of protein and 25 grams of carbs. I met with a local sleeve surgeon that gave me an 8 page xerox about the post surgery diet. Then I went to a 2nd doctor that gave me a 95 page book, 1.5 hours meeting with a dietician and I'm free call with questions or issues for the rest of my life! Congratulations to you and your husband!

Got the balloon in Dec. 2017 and had it removed in June 2018. I thought that if I cold drop 30 or so pounds then I could get more active and keep it off... WRONG! Lost 28 pounds and all was good for a few months but then the weight started to slowly come back. I think if you're really well educated on your new diet and you can stick with it, you might have better results than I did. Next week I'm having gastric sleeve surgery. I spent $6,000 for the balloon and now $16,000 for the sleeve.
