Same here . I am 4 weeks out. Had one stall, then went down pretty quick and now stalled again. I am okay with it , if it works like last time ..I would like the losing to start anytime now. I am down 25 between pre-op and post -op. Julie

I had surgery 11/10 weighed 259 day of surgery today I weigh 242= -17 Julie

I feel your pain!! But it is best for healing right now. I was tired of all the liquids too. Try to sip all day at least on water some of how you are feeling could be dehydration. You don't want that. Here is how I got my head around it.. Someone posted on here about looking at the protien shakes as medicine, because at this point of your recovery that IS what they are. They will give you energy. Also try taking some vitamin b12 sublingual ( under your toungue) It helps with energy too. This time seems to go so slow , btu before you know it you will be on slft food and then regular food.. Stay strong you CAN do this. This is the hardest part , but the most important for healing. Best wishes, Julie

Congrats!! You look Awesome!!! I had my gall bladder out with my sleeve surgery as I had , had attacks before and really did not want surgery again. Good luck !! It will go well.. Julie

Everyone is different.. I have been able to take a fairly good size drink right from the time after surgery that I was put on liquids. I can drink more than 75oz. of water a day. Julie

I had my surgery on the 10th and came home on the 14th . Weighed on the 15th and had lost 8 pounds since surgery. I weighed 251.3 ....I have weighed 251.3 ever since. Drinking all my water and getting my protien. Trying not to freak, but it is frustrating!!!!! Julie

I am 2 weeks out today and other then vomiting the few several hours in the hosp. which was from the strong pain meds. Once I stopped taking those I have been great. Able to drink all my water and get in my protien. I went back to work at 1 one out. Feeling like I didn't even have anything done at this point. Julie

Hi , I'm Julie I am 48 and had my sleeve on the 10th of Nov. For some reason sweet doen't bother me. Except for artificial sweetners. I can drink my Protien shakes just fine. I don't love thta they are sweet , but I have no effects from them. Hope you resolve your problems soon. Julie

At 4 days post -op I was only on clear liquids. Water, gatorade etc.. The protien shkes might just be too much right now. I stayed on those for 7 days total including surgery day. I am now on the full liquids for 2 weeks . and I am able to get in about 60 oz. water and 50 grm protien shakes. I say take it easy and go back to clears to up your hydration. It gets easier everyday!! Julie

Yay!! Glad the surgery is behind you!!! On to healing and losing weight Julie

I was not to add protien until day 7 . And I am doing fine. You need the clear liquids the first few days!! Julie

You will do great..Prayers for all to go well coming your way!!! I had mine last Thursday and feel really good.. Julie

My surgery is tomorrow too!!! I feel the same way. Anxious to have it over and done with and be on the recovery side of things!! Good luck! Julie

I go to the airport at 5:15 am to head for Mexico. Surgery will be at 3 pm. I want today to go by fast so I can't get there and get it done! Any prayers would be very welcomed! Thanks, Julie

My surgery is also the 10th !! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Julie

From what I have heard you NEVER want to feel FULL just satisfied. Julie

I just signed up yesterday. My surgery is Thursday. ame is soon2change Julie

To get rid of them there is a pressur point right between your eyes just above your nose. If you put pressure there they will go away. Just an FYI. Julie

Good for you!!That is one of the hard habits to break as the nioctine is so addictive!! You will do great with your surgry because of it. Julie

My fingers are crossed for you!! That would be awful to cancel. Think positive thoughts Julie

It sounds like a migriane !!! Have you ever had them before??? Did you ever see the news reporter who had that happen on air.. Flashing in eyes is an aura before a migraine.. Hope you are better now! Julie

Do you mean the 7th?? Mine is on Thursday the 10th.. So Monday can't be the 9th.. I am excited also . Hope all goes well for you. Julie

I am going to Mexico alone but going with Dr. Kelly. Good luck with your decision.... Julie

Thank you for your blog.. Iam going to Mexico alone to Dr.Kelly Nov. 10th. Ready your story was very reassuring.. My flight will be much shorter then yours. I am in Seattle so only 2 1/2 hr. flight. Thanks again , Julie

Don't let it get you down..She is jealous!!!!!!! Just wait a couple of months when you are still losing and she has gained back her so called 20 pounds PLUS more... You will be looking awesome in your smalls by then Julie
