My surgery date is September 30th in Ypsilanti, MI.

who else is in september? what are your thoughts? are you excited??!!! Nervous?

14 lbs - I'm 14 days out.

Oh I'm glad you posted this! I haven't tried them post Op. My tummy is so sensitive. Plus I'm not a fan of vomiting. I feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't jumping for joy. My tummy still aches after 10 days. My doc says it's the nerves, but I'm so sick of taking the medicine they gave me. It puts me into a deep slumber. Although I do like that, but I feel like my life is slipping away.

Please just try to get in your protein, Even if it is just your Protein drinks. DO NOT try protein SHOTS.. to me they tasted like PUKE anyway, I bought a case, and they are still in refrig after 2 years in garage,,, Slow down and get in all the water and liquid protein that you can.....

I'm doing pretty good tag past few days. 60g's and plenty of fluids. Thanks for your concern. I just wish the random pains would disappear. I'll live. :-)

I am battling pain on my right side when I lay down. I haven't been able to sleep and finally put the two together and realize I'm moving in my sleep and the pain in waking me up.

I really thought the pain was pretty much over and this just started about three days ago.

Thank you for clarifying what is happening. I've been trying to look back and figure out what I did wrong. Now I will just keep looking forward!

I was nauseous until I hit three weeks out from surgery. Keep taking your meds, and all of a sudden you will feel better one day.

I throw up when I take my meds I am feeling horrible, 2.5 weeks out.

valky - Maybe call your surgeon's office and speak with a nurse. I was able to keep my meds down. Take care.

I have learned that if I hold my breath during the whole time I'm taking my liquid pain medication, swallow quickly then swish water around in my mouth and spit it out I do better. The smell is what gags me. I do the same if in drinking something I can smell the protein in, which makes me gag too. Smell is a huge factor for me. I'm hyper sensitive. Again I don't breath during the whole time until I think most of the taste is out of my mouth. I hope that helps.

I was sleeved on 9/16, and I have lost 50lbs total. I have much more to lose than many of you, I think that's why it's going faster. I am SURE it will slow. Doctor said the first few months would be the fastest.

Enjoy the ride! I'm sure 50lbs. Can still be felt. I have not weighed myself since my Post Op appt last week. I only lost 2 lbs.:-(. He said to not worry. I had lost 27 in the month prior to surgery. I'm noticing my lounge pants going further and further up my waste. Lol. Celebrate your wins! You deserve to regardless of your starting weight. :-). Congratulations!!! We've taken drastic measures to get our health back regardless of our preOp weight. Best to you!!!!

ForwardThinner, You will be amazed a year from now when you look back at the weight you will lose, but get ready, because you will also GAIN, and then you will STALL, it is all just part of the roller coaster ride, Follow Dr orders, and you will do fine. Best of luck to you and holler if we can help.

I finally got to see my doctor on yesterday. Down 26lbs including pre-op. Surgery was on 9/25. He told me that the excercise dvd's I do are fine, and the treadmill also. He doesn't want heavy weight lifting until 4 weeks. But I can add in what I feel comfortable doing. Hope all is well my fellow sleevers!
