I was sleeved 1/9 and have lost 10 lbs post op plus the 20 lbs pre op. No nausea or problems and have first checkup next Monday. Be interesting to see what their scales show. Off to a good start just have to keep it going. It is very strange not to be hungry.

One week from today I have my surgury...I am starting to get nervous...I am not sure what to expect. Seeing your amazing progress keeps me hopeful. I am struggling with my pre-op diet...any advice or words of wisdom would be most helpful. Again, GREAT job!

dont worry the pre op diet is the hardest! Just dont put yourself in places that make it way harder for you n like dtrive thrus, or around your favorite foods! I had to be on soft food 3 days prior to surgery and the day before surgery nothing but clear liquid. The Isopure protein clear drink helped my hunger ALOT! got them at the vitamion Shoppe. As for the surgery the thing that was most painful was the GAS!!!! Walk, Walk, Walk ! Helps soooo much also dont be afraid to ask for your pain meds. Good luck to you

Hi, I was sleeved on the 11th. stayed one night in. Since home I have been doing plenty of sipping isopure, water and chicken broth. I ate a couple spoons of jello yesterday before full and burping, I had a half of a sugar free popcicle this evening and started to have pain and fullness. Husby says I more then likely I tried to swallow too much at one time, still trying to adjust to small swallows or I get the gassy burpy feel. Continuing to walk and refusing to get on scale till 1st. post op on Thursday, belly still swollen and incisions beginning to itch-Husby pulled the medicine bulb (that I was sent home with) during my 1st. shower this morning (all went well) continuing to pray for a speedy recovery.

Prayers are with you feel better

Thanks to both of you on your quick responses....much appreciated. Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Sleeved on the 9th. Down 10lbs since then but wondering if I'm going to keep losing at that rate now that I've added full liquids in. It seemed much easier to get all my fluids in when I was only drinking clears. Now that I need to accommodate 64 oz clear plus the protein shakes and soups its more of a struggle. It seems that the day is a constant sip sip sip but not hungry at all. Some sort of weird alternate universe I've been transported into.

Surgery was Jan 7th. Lost 14 pounds since then. 19 pounds since pre op. pain finally subsided. No nausea but i did become dehydrated and I'm fatigued. Its been hard to get it all in but i just have to sip sip sip. Start purees tomorrow. Dying for real food!

I was sleeved on January 8 their scale that day sake 267. And mine said 274. Today my scale said 263. So till my appointment on the 17 I know for sure. Feeling great. I was anlento walk for a hour today a d even went to work from. 9 to 5

.

I was sleeved on New Year's Eve! Yes I was in the hospital instead of partying but what I great way to start a new year. I am now 3 weeks post op and I feel A LOT better than the first 2 weeks. Ugh, that was bad. I am on puréed foods. I find it challenging to attend business sit down dinners, etc without all the questions about why I am not eating much.... It's frusturating. Great news I'm down to 207 from 228!

I was sleeved on January 7th and I am down 20 lbs (including pre-op liquid diet loss). The mornings are rough with weakness and fatigue but once I get some fluids in, I perk up. I'm due back to work on the 21st. I have a feeling i'll only be working half days though for a week or so because my doctor is very strict and orders a liquid diet for another week.

I can't wait to post on this thread with real results. Hopefully I will have an update by the end of the month. Surgery is Friday. Eek.

Lovetennis, prayers for a successful surgery Friday!!!
