Congrats in getting sleeved. I ddin't post right away but I was still learning how to use a smart phone and I didn't take my laptop with me. My doctor wanted us up and walking within 4 hours getting to our our. I walked so much that evening my Iv battery drained and I was then tethered to the plug until the next morning. As for the swallowing since we had a breathing tube sometimes our throat is swollen when they remove it for a few days afterwords. Trying varying the temperature of the liquids your are drinking. I fell in love in drinking very warm chicken broth...it was like coffee to me. I never had the pain iv but I loved the Tordal they gave me for pain meds. I never took anything more than that while I was in. Welcome to the losing side of being sleeved.

thank you. i have already lost 7 pounds since my surgery! i can see it in my face the most. i love it! i havent been under 260lbs since 2002. so almost 10 years. i havent been under 220 in 14 years and under 170 in over 17 years, so those are my mini goals till i hit the big one. everytime i hit a milestone im gonna reqard myself with stuff like a new hair style, a pedi, a mani, a massage. i cant wait till i hit the first one which will be hopefully soon. that is when im getten the new hair dew.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
