Hi everyone, I thought that It would be good to start a group with thos that just had surgery this week so that we can go through this experience together. I think it will help alot of we can talk about our experiences together and help eachother. Please join in on this group and make comments. I am new here so I do not know of any other way of starting a group for NEW surgery sleevers- just this week.

For me, I am in pain still . My surgery was wed and i can't sleep more than 2 hours at a time. When I walk, I am slouched over due to stomach and back pain. Also, not sure If i should start Protein drinks but I started sippling today.

Welcome to the group Beth. I was also sleeved on the 17th and returned to work on Wednesday. Although I have to admit, I didn't do much. Just felt tired and sluggish! I did take the b12 this am and I am hoping that I will start seeing some energy come back!

Hi everyone...just found this thread, are you all still active? I was sleeved on Nov. 29th and hoping to find others that are in the same boat as me.

Hope you all are doing well!:rose:

Hey there Sassy...I was sleeved on Nov. 18th & am feeling much better now! I am finally able to eat without pain & can just about eat anything I want...just NOT much of it! I am having to take Nexium for the acid in my stomach, but other than that I am good. I will be starting Curves program on Jan. 3rd & so far I've lost 30 pounds. I LOVE my sleeve! Hope all is goin well with you. Keep us posted!

Hi Rhonda! I'm so glad this thread is still active.

That is so great that you've already got your workout plan together and congrats on your weight loss!! Eating is getting much easier for me too but I'm still learning exactly what I can and can't handle. Finally had scrambled eggs this morning...oh my were they yummy!! I was even able to get some down with hot sauce...I'm Mexican and having to wait another two or four weeks to add spicy food is a KILLER! My doc has me on Prevacid for four months too. How long will you have to take Nexium?

Happy 2011, everyone! :grouphug:

Sassy,

Not real sure how long I'll have to stay on the Nexium but I would rather stay on it permanently than to go thru the pain of trying to eat without it. It's almost as though I'm scared to get off of it.

I LOVE mexican food & that's been the hardest thing of all is to avoid spicy foods and I've MISSED chips & salsa like you wouldn't believe! I am hoping in a few more weeks I'll be able to eat a little bit of Mexican food & be happy!

Hope you continue to do well. Let me know if I can help in any way!

I will DEFINITELY reach out. Just wanted you to know that you've already motivated me...I've been checking out the fitness classes offered at my local park district and found one that's giving a free week of Jazzercise the first week of January. WooHoo! I'll be going to that and seeing what else I can fit into my schedule.
