Thanks NG! My hubby and mom Thought the same thing but I just thought I was just in for dehydration and they pumped me

Full of stuff but still- compared to what we used to eat and drink- makes sense. Thanks :)

Hey, I'm here just lay'n in the hospital bed wishing I was @ home... Thanks for your concern, they say the 1st few weeks are the hardest & I'm really finding that to be true... The Dr will come tomorrow I make sure to get answers for everything - my side shouldn't still be hurting like this - when I make certain movements, such as sit up, get in or out of bed, bend forward to a certain angle & etc it feels like the worse sharp pain like a knife is hitting my ribs, that whole area of that incicons is hurting - more around the incision & instead of it subsiding it has just stayed constant w/ the pain... And how when I can drink w/ out lumps & heaviness down my throat... Keep the prayers come'n - you guys are great...

Trust me - I'm feeling the same way -I mean I feel like I could be home - all those IV attempts only to have some morphine put in but not hooked up to the IV for dehydrating me - I mean I'm somewhat irritated - I mean none of the issues I had are being addressed. I called & left a message for the nurse so she will get it 1st thing in the morning @ my Dr office w/ my concerns... No one has said what the result of the scan was or my blood work - I'm like really I been to this hosptial for other things & have been fine but this is ridiculous... Well about to try to get some rest - let you know tomorrow what happens...

I had my surgery on Monday the 17th. Very large hiatal hernia repaired and sleeve completed. I came home today. Anyone else get really cold especially when your bladder is ready to produce? I did this in the hospital too. Wakes me up shivering. My temp is fine, no fever. Had no problems in hospital, but didn't produce a lot. Now that I am home it is every hour.

Dang, how can you graduate before getting out the hospital?

It just depends on the Doctor and how you did with the surgery. I was released from the hospital on pureed foods. :o

I've been having the same cramping in my calves when I walk. Don't know why though

We are using muscles that have been dormant or are building muscle instead of storing fat now. This in turn produces lactic acid in the muscles and causes cramps. Many and I mean many years ago when I was a runner. In the evening after runs or in the middle of the night this would hit my legs with cramps.

Best wishes to all the September 20 sleevers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! My surgery is today at noon. Today is the last day of summer and I am so ready for the seasons to change.

September 24th is right around the corner getting a little anixious right. I am doing OK on the pre-op diet, a few little bumps and slips, but got right back on. I do miss eating real food. I have lost 19 lbs since the start, but I can't figure out how to get my ticker to move.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
