Had my Sleeve surgery last Friday 9-17-10. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Bloading gone. Dropped nearly 7 lbs since Friday! (keep looking behind me to see where I dropped those pounds. LOL!)

Only problem now is a small headache. Probably from nearly no calories, and no caffine! Also on day 0 and most of day 1 I found it hard to take in very much liquid. I shouldn't have a problem reaching the 64oz. today.

All and all I feel GREAT!

When they weighed me at the hospital I was down a lot more then I thought. A small part of me said if I could loose the weight without surgery then why have the surgery? My answer is that I would just regress to old habits. I plan on continuing my support group through Kaiser in order to stay on track.

I get this when i don't get enough water, try drinking half a cup every hour you are not eating.

I did increase the Water intake and after awhile it got better and hasn't bothered me since.

Today is day 4 (224lbs, 9lbs. down since surgery) and don't have to drink Isopure anymore! It was like medicine. Now I can drink muscle milk etc. also I can have creamed soups! 4 oz. of Cream of chicken never tasted so good! Even got to have 4 oz. of vanilla sugar-free pudding!
