[atkinsoncl 62]

I received the invite and joined! This is great! Thank you for creating it. I have the ipad app and the invite was under my "conversations" tab. It gave me the link to join and brought me to the forum which I then joined to follow.

Oh great, I'm so glad!! I was worried because I couldn't resend the invite. Phew!!

Wow, good for you!! Congrats on your success! I'm doing very well. Feel back to myself and 0% pain. I was sleeved on April 4 and down 24 lbs since preop diet. I am on puree/soft food right now. Trying to get my Protein in with foods, but it doesn't work. So, I need to drink one shake a day. Trying to experiment with the shakes to mix it up a bit.

That's great Atkins. I'm down about 20. I feel almost myself, just tired.

Good for you! I too was extremely tired with no energy. I was beginning to get a bit worried, then one day I woke up and

it was back. I still get tired more easy, but that will work itself out eventually.

Down 19 lbs since preop diet. Sleeved April 3rd. Get tired really easy but still on liquids until the 3 week mark. Ready to get some food. Totally sick of strained shakes and soups!!!

Wow, you are still on liquids . . . I have never heard of three week liquid diet post-op. Almost there . . . what foods do you move onto next?

[SkinnyMom2b 14]

Complete switch Tues. eggs, deli meat, toast, crackers, cheese, lean beef, chopped chicken and much more. I am beyond ready! My daughters birthday is Monday and got the ok for few bites of thin and crispy cheese pizza. Suprisingly it's not too high in calories, low in sugar and 9gms Protein.< /p>

Hello everyone, I was sleeved yesterday and all I want to do is sleep. First two days have been rough. I feel if they remove the catheter and drain tube I would be able to move better! Good news is I passed the leak test. I'm very weak and they been giving extra fluids. Please send extra prayers up for me.

[SkinnyMom2b 14]

That's all I wanted to do. They kept pushing fluids on me because my BP was low. It will get better soon! If you get home and have gained weight it's just fluid!! I gained 9 the day I left and 8 was gone within 2 days. Welcome to the loser's bench!!

Congrats, Fanny! I hated the catheter, and when they removed it, I felt like a new person. Good luck and best wishes to recover quickly!
