glad you are home tagster! I felt the same way, like I did crunches. It is weird to feel the liquid hit the sleeve.

How are you doing today, Fitzright? I started on full liquids this morning. It took me over an hour to finish a small Protein drink! I'm not having to concentrate on the super small sips now. I still sip, but they are more of my 'normal' size sips. Now I want to get more into a regular eating pattern of 3 meals with a snack or two and Water in between. I was kind of a grazer before, so it will be a challenge for me to be more mindful.

I'm still a bit sore when I get up or shift positions and it takes me a few seconds to be fully upright when I stand. And, my scale hasn't budged yet, but I'm still a bit swollen so I'm not going to worry about it much.

I am back to work tomorrow. Have a great day,

Hi. Everyone I thought I would says congrats to you fellow sleeves, I also had my sleeve on July 10 th in New York I wrote a post before regarding my experience to date but anyways nice to see other people sleeved around the same time. Well 5 days out sipping my Protein Shakes and liquids the sipping is getting easier but I also noticed my bigger sips fill me up fast it just sneaks up on me. Sometimes feeling hungry like when I see my family eating their meal or those damm late night food commercials ...lol nice to meet you all and best of luck!

I had my one week post op check up today. I'm still a bit swollen and I'd been a bit concerned about that. Doc said to drink 64 oz Water a day and get between 60-80 grams of Protein. The pains in the incisions have almost gone away and I'm getting a bit more energy. I will admit I'm not walking as much as I should be though....old habits die hard!

Next checkup in a month.

I also had my 1 week checkup last weight was one week before surgery and weighed today in 2 weeks lost 16 lbs not bad i will take it check up went well everything looks great feeling better every day like I have more energy! Doc said I can go to a very thin purée food anything I can mash through a mesh strainer next week anything that can go through a colander a little nervous to try I might stay on mostly full liquids for a couple days.... But at any rate I will keep my eye on the prize! Next checkup 3 weeks.

i too had my check up. I am down 12 pounds. I am doing okay on the shakes but thechewable Vitamins are disgusting. I have been dissolving them in a cup of hot Water and taking them that way. My incisions look good and they are healing nicely. I now need to incorporate a little more activity. I am able to go to the puree stage on Wednesday.

I had my first and only nausea moment yesterday when I took my chewable vitamins on an empty stomach. I thought I would still have some of the Protein shake in my stomach, but apparently it moved through me quickly! I seriously thought I was going to throw up...scary. The weird thing is that it passed after about 5 minutes. I tried again this morning and chewed it between sips and was fine. Lesson learned!

My experience in Everett was great. The doctors and staff are really friendly and caring. I don't start on soft foods until Weds, so looking forward to that, how was the transition for you? Did you find any foods easier than others? I'm kinda looking forward to a soft boiled egg, of all things!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
