In July my weight was 300.0 ... Im 5'9". August 30 started my pre-op diet at 294. My surgery was Friday September 14 at 08:00 and this morning, Tuesday Sept 18 i weigh 274.8! Trying to get in the clear liquids 30cc at a time and doing well. I can only get up to walk; no reaching or bending/squatting or i get terribly dizzy and nauseated. Diet consists of room temp crystal light, room temp water, and warm chicken broth. I think i am doing really well considering i only need my pain medicine about every 8 hours.

Yesterday, i went with my mom to walmart. I rode the handicap cart and kept a nausea pill in my pocket just in case... But i didnt need it. I was glad to get out of the house!! Dr visit is next Tuesday so i guess ill update by then. I sure hope my sleeve friends on here are doing well too!!

Hi. My name is Jenny. I had my sleeve on Monday the 17th. I'm still having pain in my incision site. Are you?? Also did your doctor tell u to start drinking protein drinks? My dr didn't say anything? I'm new here. Looking for some help.

I have some discomfort around the incision but im only taking my pain meds every 12 hours or so. I was up too much yesterday tho, i was concerned about protein but a lady from hospital called to check on me and when i asked she said no protein until i see dr... I even asked about the clear protein shots. So since the 15th, all i have had is crystal light, Water, 99% fat free chicken broth and sugar free Jello. My dr appt is Tuesday so im just going to continue clear liquids until then. I could start full liquids today, one week out, but im scared. And the only thing negative besides the occasional discomfort in my abdomen, is that i get dizzy if im up too long, which is what happened yesterday. Wish i could help! Ill let you know what my doc says when i see him!!

By the way, this morning my weight was 267.2

So thats good part about it!!!!

Wow good for you! That's great. I haven't weighed myself yet. I want to wait til my 10 day post op appt. I hear so many different diets on here. My doctor has me on clear liquids for 2 weeks. Each phase is 2 weeks for the sleeve. But I'm ok with it. He said this phase I can still have sugars. It's the second phase that I have to watch them so I've been having Popsicles and regular jello. Not really getting a lot of fluids down though. About 32oz a day. Any suggestions on how to get more down quicker? I feel like its gonna come up when I drink more.
