Hey guys! Since surger on the 14 and having times stay in the hospital til Sat the 18 things have very slowly been improving. They had me staying in the hospital an extra night due to high heart rate. Which came down as soon as they said I could home. While in the hospital I was using an over head bar to help lift myself in and out of Bed and my ended up getting horrible pain in my left shoulder. Did xray everything was fine. Finally the PA came in and say she was going remove my drain that when lifting myself the tube might have got stuck around diaphragm. And can cause shoulder pain. So she removed the drain and instantly shoulder pain went away. What a relief. Since being home find it hard to get all fluids in and have to remind myself I dont have to finish them in a set time. I can take it slow. A surprise for me was I didn't know how exhausted I would really be from this. I am so tired after the smallest task. But even takin a shower knocks me out lol Tomorrow will b 1 wk post op and I do an official scale check! Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on the 14th and home the next day. No nausea, gas, etc. my only issue is the incision pain. It is excruciating. I rarely take pain med but am still taking to keep me from crying. Doctor said that this is normal since this is where the most work was done. Yesterday I was able to get all my Protein in plus my liquid vitamins. I just really need this pain to subside so I can appreciate the greatness of this surgery and start my new life.

P.S. haven't pooped. Starting to get worried.......

Crystal Light makes a flavor with added Fiber - it might help with this...

Well, today is my first day back at work and I feel great. I've been drinking Water like crazy and I can't wait to advance to full liquids on Thursday. I'm still having a hard time sleeping in my bed so tonight it's back to the couch I go :( I've been adding like 1 Protein. shake per day since yesterday and I must say that I have way more energy. I'm not supposed to advance until Thursday but I was starting to feel really exhausted and the small shake really helped. I can only drink one and it takes all day to get in.....I'm down 12.6 still feels like a really low number and that gets me worried still....but I'm just ready to be back to life and finally enjoy this baby tummy :)

Congrats on being back at work so soon. I was sleeved on the 14th and my surgeon won't release me back to work until December 10th. 12.6 lbs is a WONDERFUL loss! :-) don't get stuck on numbers . I'm on the full liquid diet for another 10 days...I can't WAIT to moved to puréed foods lol. All this drinking and sipping is tedious lol

I mentioned to my husband that my son and I took a nap together yesterday because I was getting very tired and his response was "surgery was a week ago!" presumably I should now be up to doing a marathon or something....

But I am the same. I get quite tired. So I rest. But each day is getting better :)

Ok, one full week since surgery! :)

I started on oct 31 at 240, lost a good 10lbs before surgery on pre-op diet. Down now a total of 15lbs. Kinda thought I might be down more after surgery, but I know that right after surgery, I bloated up and kind of "gained" some back, which I assume is temporary. So I'll take 15lbs in 3 weeks!

Still sore, trying to wean off/down on the Percocet. I'm getting in all my Protein, just not all my Fluid. I'm a type II diabetic and have been off all meds since the day I left the hospital, and my blood sugars are WONDERFUL now- pretty much 98-105 all the time!!!!

One week out and down 10 lbs already! The sleeve is amazing! I am having a tough time sticking to a full liquid diet though... I sick of Protein Shakes and want real food. Been doing good about getting all my Protein and Water in though.

I started moving around every few hours when I got home. Pooped like a champ the 4th day. I'm on hydrocodone liquid. Honestly, if I didn't move around, I would be so constipated.

Yes, I was sleeved on 11/14 and I just developed a sharp, nagging pain in my left shoulder, kind of in the back of the shoulder. Really uncomfortable if I lay on it. :(

This happened to me too, I think it's gas.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
