Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

I am having my sleeve tomorrow and I am super nervous!! anything I should know!?

I was nervous too, but I decided to surrender and trust my healthcare team. I was sleeved on Saturday and Sunday and Monday have been difficult. Make sure you take your pain meds before the time is up.

I wish you the best! We are on a new journey that is very difficult. This definitely is not the easy way out, regardless of what anyone thinks.

Do what your dr. tells you and you'll be fine. If you have questions or aren't sure of something call their office. Better safe then sorry.

Im still having a heck of a time figuring out what to eat.

Same here

I'm two weeks post op tomorrow and I've had a headache for over a week. Anyone else experiencing this. My Dr said possibly a side effect to less food ( sugars/carb) and smaller stomach

Are u getting in lots of fluids? Headaches are a typical sign of dehydration.

I haven't had any problem with my fluids

I'm 2 1/2 days out and I have a headache. I'm drinking more than required, but I heard the headache could be from too low of calorie intake. I'm only drinking tea, Water, and a Protein juice. That only got me to under 200 calories. I'm just afraid to cause the radiating pain. I'm shooting for more calories tomorrow. We shall see. I wish you relief.

I guess maybe I should ask what my calorie intake should be. The first week home was about 300 cal. Now I'm between 500-700 on puréed but the only thing my dr really focused on was protein and fluids. Thanks, ill call tomorrow.

Well I had my first post-op check up today. I've lost 12lbs. I thought it would be more. I do know that I need to be more active in order to lose more weight. It's just so hard. Any advice? He did say that I could start on mushy foods like green beans and fish. I get to eat more than soup! Yay!

I called my Dr yesterday and they said it probably is do to low calorie intake. I was getting about 500 calories a day but I was getting all my protein and water. They told me to go up 300 to 400 calories. Thanks

I wonder if you're not getting enough calories. It makes our body's metabolism slow down and hold onto weight because it thinks it's starving. Although 12 lbs. is a lot of weight. :-). I'm concerned about this myself. I have my first post Op check up Friday, so we shall see. Remember to be kind to yourself. :-)

I'm gagging on just the smell of the Protein powder. I don't know how to get enough calories in. I don't want to puke. I am not hungry at all. This is wild. I pray for the day I can begin to eat normal food. Thank you.

I start puree foods on Friday.....I am nervous about stalling.
