OMG! I literally have the same thing. They had to cut a little more than expected so mine is kind of near an incision but I have the exact same problem!!! I was getting nervous! But to know someone else has same pain I guess it's common?? I take my Vicodin lol

Congrats to all of you on your new sleeves! I was sleeved on Monday the 4th in Dallas. I'm feeling pretty good. My incisions are still sore. It's hard to get up from a chair. I've been doing a lot of walking around the house and even walked around the block yesterday. I'm trying so hard to get in the Protein and Water. I was told 60 oz of liquids and 60 grams of Protein. I was able to get 40 oz of liquids yesterday so I'm trying to beat that today. I've really only had regular water' date=' propel Water, Popsicles, unjury chicken broth, and cream of chicken strained with a scoop of unflavored Unjury Protein powder. I haven't really ventured out to anything else. How about you guys?[/quote']

I was sleeved back in feb in dallas area too. How are you feeling

I was sleeved at South Nassau - Long Island by Dr Nishimaru on Monday the 11th.... I had moderate pain after surgery but still got my butt up every hour or so and did my laps around the floor.

My incisions are giving me pain still 6 days later but soreness is getting easier to handle. Staples come out Thursday and I am still on a liquid diet of Water, Optifast (or equivalent shake) broth Jello etc. I get pain after a few sips of anything so I am not reaching my 60 oz of water a day yet.

I am the burping and farting a lot and have even gone #2 a few times.

Annoyed that I cant wear a bra because one of my incisions is right on the bra line and I am VERY busty so I dot feel like leaving my house without one on.

Two new issues: my hands are FREEEEEZING!!!! I'm usually hot and now I'm COLD! Wasn't expecting that! And (maybe TMI) watery diarrhea....ugh!!!

But otherwise doing great!

Sleeved 3/13 & ive been freezing & having diarrhea too! I can't figure out why yet... can we get the runs if we eat too fast? Process of elimination I suppose. makes me not even want to eat at all because I end up in the bathroom all day! Grrrrrrrr

Does anyone remember what lab work their surgeon did pre-op? My pre-op appt is tomorrow (surgery 3/26) and I'm worried my labs could be too out of whack for surgery!! So I'm trying to figure out what they will actually be testing for so I can reassure myself that there's no reason to be worried. TIA!

The freezing had gotten better and so far no more watery stools. I have found that if I eat too fast I get a feeling that feels like I'm about to have bathroom issues! Crampy and gassy!

That could be it! Thanks Lakimmie! I'll be sure to eat super slow today & see how it goes. Good luck!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
