I'm way past two weeks out, but I don't remember any discomfort at 2 weeks out. Well, I did have some, but only if I drank too much at one time.

Are you having actual pain, or just generally not feeling up to par? This IS an adjustment for us mentally and physically.

Since being sleeved, I've found places that are tender now that never were before. I had my doc look at a couple of them and he told me they are my fibroids, which are losing their "protective" layer of fat! LOL

Good luck!!

I had discomfort on my second week. Especially my left incision which is the biggest. When I would over do it, boy would my left side hurt. I'm 11 weeks out now and am feeling fine. It gets better, incision sites are still healing. ;)

I just had my drain taken out last Monday and the incision is stll healing. I feel like my stomach has a heart beat. I just wish I can get the energy like everyone else is talking about. I'm taking my Vitamins and drinking my fluids.

tomorrow will be officially 2 weeks p.o for me. and so far im doin pretty well.. i don't seem to have any issues other than a little incision pain and the fact that i slipped an fell yesterday.. lol.. but in regards to gettin in the required fluids now and handling full liquids im doin pretty well...

I think the Vitamins will really help with the motivation and to be active .. my b-12 definately gives me energy to get up and get to the gym, but the other half is you have to mentally tell yourself to get up and do something. I don't know about you, but ive been stagnant so long that my body automatically wants to be lazy.. and then i go .. screw you.. im getting up and doing something.. ive been a fat lazy blob for toooo long and im not gonna let it run my life anymore.

If you need motivation i will personally send you a message everyday to see if you have done something. I actually wanna start a fb for our little family so we can have more real time talk.

i have a big sign on my door, GET Up And JUST Do It, with the exercises and rep counts i should do for 15 mins, its really hard to get up, its sooo easy to be lazy.. but one things for sure, when u get up n do it and finish u feel much more better and really motivated, just take it a day at a time, follow Ur plan, do something at least 30 mins.. right now its my last month before the surgery or any approval, but i am trying to get down to 220 before surgery, so i am like 15 pounds away.. so trying to do 5 pounds a day, exercising 2 hours a day, since i work i split the time in between.. 5am. 3 pm n 45 mins before bedtime.. that way my body stays burning the whole day.. I am so happy for you and everyone who already had the surgery, reading all your stories and updates inspires me and mentally prepares me for whats to come, so Thank you sooo much!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
