I was sleeved June 10th. I was down to 205 on July 14th. Then I went to Mexico for 8 days and managed to come back weighing 208.4. I know it was because I did not count calories and I was drinking most of my calories in juices. I am backto the deal world now and have all of my meals prepared for tomorrow so I can get back on track. I did start to do some heavier exercises while I was there, so I will be continuing that. And I managed to lose a clothing size while I was there. Gotta love that!

Great advice!!

Hope it works for you. Sometimes fluids can make all the difference!

I hope you feel better soon. It sucks to be sick and healing at the same time.

I got the same thing about week three. I had it about 10 days before it went away. I has it for 6 days and then got a secondary sinus infection. I went on an antibiotic and today I feel better. It sucked, but it will be over soon!

Good Luck! You will do great!

You need to call your doctor's office and tell them what is going on. It could be nothing or it could be important. That is what they are there for, and it is much better to be safe than sorry. None of that sounds right to me.

That is awesome!! I am so happy for you!

I am in the same boat. I am starting purees July 10th and I am leaving for 8 days in Mexico on the 14th. I am bringing my magic bullet and some protein powder with me. But I can see me eating a lot if applesauce, cottage Cheese and mashed potatoes. But I am not hungry anymore so I don't think that will be a problem.

When this happened to me when I lost weight before It was because of dehydration. Make sure you are getting all of your fluids in. It could also be a lack of Iron. Take a look at how you are eating and make sure you are not iron deficient.

Congrats!! That is awesome!

Everybody's doctors are different. Mine allowed me full liquids day 3, but I am on dull liquids for a month. After that is over, I can go I purée foods. It still has to fit through a straw though. Most people would be onto soft foods by then, but my doc is different. Just stick to what your doctor told you to do.

They should be falling off soon. I remember them falling off around this time with my lap band.

I spent my first three nights sleeping in an upright position. I slept in my recliner those nights. By the forth night I was able to sleep in my bed.

To track calories and protien!

Meat!! I could kill for a steak!

I was NPO surgery day, clears the next day then on to full liquids for a month.

I was told no soda/pop at all. According to my doc it can stretch the pouch, and the carbonation can cause gas pain.

Welcome!! You will find a lot of information on this forum. Happy you got your date too!

Congrats on it finally being your day!! I hope everything goes smoothly, and you have an easy recovery! Prayers for you!
