I was sleeved on Feb 18th in Bethlehem, PA.

Sleeve 2/19 no pain at all. Feeling hungry all the time stomach is healing to quick lol. Can't wait until stage 2 to get here to at least have a piece of salmon. Anyone else feeling like thus

Girl yes! I just started soft foods and what a difference it makes!!!

Meanwhile 2 weeks post op and 21lbs lighter I can't believe what a noticeable difference I see in my clothes and reflection. My tummy is even flatter and it doesn't hang as low! lol Absolutely amazing.

I'm on day 6 post op and I don't feel much better today than any other day. My inductions are fine I am just still having a hard time getting anything down. They fixed my hyatial hernia but others on here don't seem to have the problems . I just wanna feel good again. I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow but just taking a shower leaves me short of breath and exhausted. Please someone tell me it gets better ....

I didn't have a hernia that I know of. I am on day four post op my left side is still very sore I drink every 15 minutes like im supposed to but im ALWAYS thirsty. I am not having any issues keeping things down but I still get very short breathed when even just goinv pee. I have to sit there before I stand back up be cause I know how strenuous it is going to be to do so. I hope things get better for you. Please do not rush yourself back to work.

For some reason my daughter said she is having a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch. OMG that sounds good. 6 day post op is killing me. I'm hungry, but I know better lol

I know I feel like I would feel better if I could eat something!! The protein drinks are so gross to me. Every single kind. I have tried so many and they are so bad!

Got sleeved on the 13th feeling good. Resumed work by the 18th. Some weakness due to lack of calories but all ok.

Getting sleeved February 27th wirh Dr. Feenando Garcia. Super nervous but exited. Hope to to meet someone out there. Husband is just dropping me off and not staying. I think not having someone there worries me more.

First day out you def may not want to see anybody gas pain is really bad and pain meds make u sleep on and off a day. Fyi alot of moaning and groaning

YES! I'm still on clear liquids until Monday when I get to move up to puréed. When I have a Popsicle or Broth (aka meals) I am not full at all. Luckily I am filling that with making sure to get my liquids in. I can't wait for some Turkey chili!

Turkey chilli, piece of fish, a slice of a coldcut, anything but liquid lol

Yes that sound so good. Smh
