Hey tinker053, I’m experiencing the same. I’m a week out and only 2 pounds down its pretty disheartening but I did allot of reading and definitely thing hop_scotch is right on this.

I still feel swollen and can’t even remember the amount of iv bags that were pumped in during the hospital stay. The pain meds may also cause retention.

I’m hopeful we will both see solid results soon!

Tomorrow morning at 7am is the big day ??

Good morning everyone! I’ve been reading the post and am so glad people have been doing well (although hard). I can’t wait to try some of the purée stage ideas I read about!

I just had my sleeve done 4 days ago and I’m happy to say everyone was right with the 4 day hump thing. I woke up feeling allot better than the previous days. The only thing I’m having trouble with is the dammed heparin shots ?. I have to give myself 2 injections a day for a month :/. Anyone else had to do this?

I have to administer shots as well. My doctor was worried about blood clots because of my weight. I have a friend who started at a lower weight and had a different surgeon and did not have to do this. Luckily, I outsourced my duties...my husband has been doing it for me. I almost passed out when they described it to me, so I feel for you! I hope it gets easier!

Well, after getting on the scale today and being thoroughly disappointed, I decided to put it away. I've been glued to the scale since I was 22 yrs old and I've decided I am taking that control back! Why does a number have so much power over me? Because I allow it! Since I'm starting a new chapter in my life, I am going to find other ways to enjoy non scale victories. For instance, today I was able to walk for 20 minutes only stopping to catch my breath twice! Next week I go for post op follow up and I will let them tell me how much I have lost! #taking the power back

Best of luck!!!

I just got a call about switching my date from Monday to tomorrow! I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. I thought I would have to do clear liquids 24 hours before but I guess not!

I started liquids today ….. I just realized how much mindless tasting and nibbling I do if my toddlers food. PB?J never smelled so good ?

@Eli05 Good luck! It’s true each day gets better, but the struggle is real! Ugh it’s torture seeing and smelling the kids food lol! I had my surgery June 8 and glad I stuck to the liquids bc it really made a difference and now I have no interest in food.

Hey everyone!! I’m scheduled for June 28th and I’m super super excited. I just had my final visit with my nutritionist and am hoping for the best. I was told I would have to go on the pre-op protein/liquid diet starting in the 14th. Right now my biggest struggle is getting out of the: “ I won’t be able to eat it later so I should eat it now” mindset. I’m toughing through and have been really good about dieting but these last few days the reality of no more of my favorites is setting in!

Hoping for amazing results for all of us!

Good luck to all the Junies surgeries!! Stay strong and positive. This is an exciting time for all of is on our new journeys. ❤️

I'm scheduled for June 28th. Have my final meeting with the nutritionist on the 2nd and will be going liquid a week later. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I've been fortunate that I have been able to get through all the preliminaries and just started on February 10th.
