Just wondering how others are feeling. The gas pains are horrible. Gas-X is not working. What else are others using? The dry heaves have just about stopped but still don't have an appetite. Just trying to get some liquids in at this point. I know there's light at the end of the tunnel but it seems so far away right now. ????

Doing awesome. So happy I did this. I walk alot. Eating some protein now and drinking fine. I'm pretty lucky. I've seen some of the roadblocks people have been running into. Just stay positive. It will pass!

You guys all ROCK!! So glad to hear how everyone is doing at different stages!! The pain is almost gone so that's a plus. Feeling incredibly hungry but that will also pass (I hope!) Wishing you continued health!

I was done on the 19th. I've gotten all clear liquids in and today I started shakes. I had one vanilla and one chocolate. Later tonight, ill try soup and add protein... I guess it's trial and error. I'm definitely more full filling with the protein milk drinks than yesterday's clears. Bo BM yet and I've taken Miralax for 3 days! Scared! Lol doing pretty good though. Finally made it around my block and it has 2 big hills! Yay! I'm down 10lbs from surgery date...

Hey Slim Jim glad to see you are feeling better! I havent had a bm yet either but not really concerned. I am still on clear liquids. As for the BM nothing in means nothing out!

Thank you Phutch! This is quite the journey! Glad you are doing well too!

Sleeved on Wednesday. Feel pretty good. The only pain I have is from the largest incision where they took the remains of my stomach out. Doc said they stitched the muscle there. Getting all my fluids in including my shakes. Really happy I did this so far.

Hi there! I still feel pain at that incision too. It's almost gone at this point. How are you doing getting in your Proteins? I've tried but unable to get 60-70 grams in so far. So glad you're doing well and happy with your surgery!! Me too!!

So glad to hear you're doing well! I feel VERY blessed. I've read some scary horror stories and I'm so thankful I haven't had any of those problems. Wishing you the best and thanks for the pep talk!

Yeah, not so good on the Protein yet. I'm getting about 40 grams in but the doc said not to worry about that yet. I think I can squeeze in 60 tomorrow though. Good luck on your journey!

I had my surgery early morning on 3/19. That first day wasn't too much fun but most of the pain was gone once the pain-pump was plugged in. Came home on Thursday 3/21 after spending 2 nights in the hospital. My surgeon wanted me to only have Water on the Stage I day after the surgery. Started Protein shakes on Thursday and haven't had any problems keeping those or other liquids downs. I will say it is strange because sometimes I can "feel" things enter my stomach. I'm not sure if others have experienced this but my stomach is now pretty loud - from gurgling or groaning. Doesn't bother me too much. I haven't really lost much since the surgery date but I blame it on the water retention and still no BM. I haven't felt hungry at all - in fact the thought of eating makes me a little nauseous.

So far so good. I still have 1.5 weeks of stage II liquids before I get to eat any real food. I am looking forward to biting into something solid.

Good luck to all of you. This is going to be awesome. Just hang in there.

Lots of long stressful days...sleeved on the 19 and while i do have to continue with my plan ...these chest pains are hard n intensive.

I had my sleeve done on 3.18.13. The gas pains haven't been so bad for me. Yesterday was the first day since surgery that I really wanted to eat something. The protein drinks are getting harder to get down.

I hate the Protein Drinks so my nutritionist told me that I can have every night a small chicken breast(baked, boiled, rotisserie) & veggies only (no peas, carrots, corn) this help alot.
