I was sleeved on the first too, yay! For me the incision pain is tolerable, but the left shoulder pain, omg!!!! I don't think I have ever felt such an intense pain before, it literally takes my breath away. Monday I go get my drain out and see the surgeon, and hopefully the shoulder pain will be gone, otherwise ill have to get some advise from him. Did any of you experience this? Otherwise getting goal amounts of Fluid and Protein. SW 224, CW 215.

Hey Coloradogrl! Great to see someone that had surgery the same exact date.. woohooo ! I actually have very mild incision pain. If it wasn't for the gas pains I had experienced the first few days and the inability to get all my liquids in initially I wouldn't believe I had surgery. I did not receive a drain either. Tuesday I have my 1st post opp appt! Haven't weighed myself but my SW 282. Hope your shoulder pain lightens up for you! Kit! I would love to know your progress

You're lucky you didn't get a drain, man I'm glad that's out! Lol! Had it removed on Monday at my 1 week postop. Now I'm eating mushies and found that I'm not that fond of scrambled eggs anymore and I use to eat 2 eggs almost every day. I found a tip on Pinterest to put cottage cheese in the scrambled eggs and voila, I love them ago, just in a very small quantity, lol. My shoulder pain is gone, yay, and really the only pain is the occasional pain from the incision the stomach came out of. Feels like a very sore muscle. I've started walking on my elliptical for 30 min a day, which helps with my energy. I'm going bak to work on Monday. How are you doing now?

Hey My sleeve Sista!

I feel really good actually.. I am also on pureed/soft foods! Had a taste for scambled eggs today made 2 eggs today with a little bit of cheese and could only get half in! I just saves the rest for lunch.. Its so crazy that is all my stomach at this time! I use to be able to eat eggs, pancakes, turkey bacon and a side of homefries. I have also made ricotta bake which is really good and some had chilli from Wendys'. About 4 spoonfuls and I am done. I walk about 3 miles every other day. My hubby and I actually did 8 miles on Sunday! It was great. I am just struggling with the Fluid intake. I probably get about 40oz a day if that.

SW is 282

CW is 255

I have a long way to go.. goal weight is 170-180 since i am 5"9.

Hello.... glad to see someone else had the surgery in April. I was sleeved on 04/04 and have not had any major issues. It was hard for me to get all my liquids in.

I can't wait to get to pureed/ soft foods. You are doing an awesome job... Keep up the good work!!!!!!

[coloradogrl 13]

Keep up the good work with the walking! 8 miles! That's awesome you are having great success, I'm so happy for you. I bet you can really tell with your clothes and body changing, my husband comments constantly and I'm only down 12 pounds so far. It's funny when you were talking about what you used to eat compared to now, and your totally right! I was thinking about that too! I'm so glad half my stomach is gone and I don't have all that ghrelin hormone telling me to eat anymore best wishes
