Love reading all these reports. I was sleeved Monday 10/8 and Wedneday the loose bm's started. And a few explosions' date=' luckily I made it in time. I don't remember any yesterday, and def not today. Anyone one a regular schedule? Used to be daily coffee and hit the Lu. Maybe ill take a stool softener in the am if I need it.[/quote']

I was so sleeved 10/8 and loose or rather liquid bms started wed for me too. Im getting in at least 55 oz liquid daily trying for at least 64 but havent made it yet. I am still having liquid bms today...several times a day. Like just about every time i go pee. I hope it will get better when we progress to puree. My bariatric coordinator told me to expect this during preop teaching. Liquid in=liquid out lol

I have been getting hives for a couple weeks thought it was just bad nerves, but now I have a rash on my arms and stomach I really hope it doesn't get in the way of my Thursday date:x

I got sleeved 10/9/12. Thank God I did not have any pain aside from headaches. Had regular BM's this week. Still on full liquid diet. My mom is an angel and has made me the best ever chicken broth! I've been existing on protien shakes, juice, Water, broth, Popsicles, and Jello. Not majorly hungry. Kind of sucky to smell pizza and not able to have it. I guess that's my head hunger telling me that I want it? Not sure, keeping busy at home, my BFF came to stay with me a fees days to make sure I didn't die! She made sure I sipped instead of chugged and that I didn't lift anything heAvy.

I am blessed everything went smoothly.

Glad everything is going so smoothly and you have help! I don't necessarily want to eat the pizza, but I DO want to smell it.

Those are looking fantastic! I will be two weeks on Tuesday and I still have the glue on mine and the one from the drain is just pink and healing. Funny how our new holes are all in different spots.

Are you still having any pain on your largest incision where your stomach was removed? I am still having pains only on my left side and I yet have had a BM other than the pain on my left side I feel great.

I am so glad to have read everyone's experiences. I will be sleeved on Oct 22 and it can't come soon enough! But I am much better prepared because of all of you!

I was "allowed" on the scale today and I am down 5 pounds, 32.4 since 1st consultation. Most of it was pre-op, but for the first time I know those pounds WILL NOT BE BACK! I haven't been this weight since before I was diagnosed with cancer. Hoping to see One-derland for Christmas. **happy dancings**

I'm three days out and today the swallowing pain is much better. Incisions don't hurt, just tender which is to be expected. Just got my nails done, took a walk now going to watch football while I drink my egg drop broth.< /p>
