Sending good vibes and prayers to Stacy03! Good luck with your surgery today!

Hi all! I'm doing well. Home from the hospital after 2 nights. Struggled a lot with nausea the first 24 hours. Had some chicken broth and apple juice for dinner. Working on a Popsicle now. Think tomorrow I will switch to some full liquids and see how I do

For those post op- couple of questions. When did you stop wearing ur support socks. And also when did you start Protein Drinks?

I'm still struggling getting liquids in. It seems I suck at sipping and get painful gas bubbles a lot. Does this go away? Any trick you can give me?

I took those socks off at the hospital before I went home. I started drinking Isopure in the hospital. I haven't had any restrictions with liquids. I also find I do drink to fast but haven't had any gas pains from it. I was sent home with a binder on and I think it lasted a few hours at home.

I took the support socks off once I got home. I started protein a week out, focused first on my Water intake, could only tolerate Isopure protein drinks post op. The most important thing is to stay hydrated. For gas, I used gas x strips and walked a lot. It took a good week to get rid of it all. Hope that helps :) your body will tell you what it can handle.

Question for my fellow StV or IU sleevers. What were you eating the 1st week post-op? My list includes low fat cheese, Beans, instant mashed potatoes, and oatmeal. Were you able to tolerate these week 1?

I was doing Jello and popcicle , I know that I could eat those things, I would try a taste and if I could tolerate it I would eat a little more, but it took a while for my sleeve to handle things. As long as you are stating hydrated its the most important thing

I'm a Hoosier myself! Currently living in LaPorte. Im going through Methodist Hospital Center for Bariatric Surgery in Merrillville. I have my first appt Aug 12. I'm really excited to get the ball rolling on what I'm sure will be a difficult journey, but I know the end result will be well worth it. Can't wait until the day I can finally get back on a roller coaster, fit comfortably in a seat at the ball park, or even sit comfortably on a long flight.

How is everyone doing? I know there were several of us sleeved the last few months. My surgery was June 11th. I'm down 37lbs since then and 82lbs since my first Dr appt. Its unbelievable but I'm 50 lbs to goal weight.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
