I've made it through my first week post sleeve and am going strong. Started full liquids today, but boy am I sick of sweet stuff. I had about a quarter of a special k Protein drink (bad idea), and then later about 2 oz of Soup which wasn't too bad. I'm still occasionally having these weird stomach cramp like feelings, and I can feel everything when it hits my pouch....such a weird feeling!

I did have my first NSV today (I have yet to buy a scale...I should get on that..) I went to get dressed and I thought, eh, what the heck? Why not try on the pair of jeans that were a bit too tight for me before surgery. They buttoned all the way with ZERO effort! Holy hooters that happened quick! granted, I'm not down a whole size yet, but I'll take it!

I have also noticed (this may be TMI and for that, I'm sorry) that my stools are happening more frequently than usual (like 2-3 times a day) and they are all liquid. I know I'm on a liquid diet, but is this normal? Kinda weird.

Other than that, life is returning to normal. I've been walking walking and walking some more, and the soreness subsides a little more everyday. I opted not to go back to work today because I'm just not feeling 100% just yet, but i will be back on Monday. Other than that, not too much going on, just thought I'd catch up!

well it is really glad to know that you are do so well. Keep drinking excercising and getting in your proteins in..You will do good..

Hey Miss Brandy,

I was sleeved on Monday Feb. 28 so this is day 6 for me and I wanted to let you know i'm also having the watery lose stools... Probably normal and will soon turn to hard once we introduce solids and more Protein.

I actually have more strength today but my abdominal area is a little more tender today (especially the incision where they removed the stomach). Kinda feel like I have been punched in the side but only bothers me when i'm moving around.

I'm going to try to go back to work 1/2 day on Monday.

Good luck!
