Prayers up!! You will do great!!

Prayers to everyone getting sleeved in October. I was sleeved in Monday the 21st. I lost 10 lgs pre pop and have actually gained 2lbs since surgery. That sucks but I'm trying not to get discouraged

So how has it been for you this week? How are you doing taking on fluids?

Sip sip sip all day long and walking 5-10 min every couple hours. I feel so full I don't know how I could possibly drink any more than I am

Don't get discouraged about the gain. My doctor said that you can actually gain up to 10lbs post op because of all of the fluids from your IV's. It will be gone in no time :-)

Thanks. I hope so. It wiuld be embarrasing to go back to work heavier than when I left

No kidding. They pumped four bags of fluids plus other meds in me while I was there. I felt like a water bag. They wanted to see me pee before they would discharge me. If I didn't pee that evening after surgery they threatened to put the catheter back in. Needless to say I forced it out.

How is your mum?

Hi Jane my mom is doing great right now. I was so happy today when they said we were going to the hotel.

I'm so glad! You were very brave getting it done together :-)

Yes it was quite the experience. Seeing her so sick brought me down a lot but when I woke this morning and saw her sleeping in her bed I was happy. It was such a drastic change over night even. I have to admit at one point she looked so bad and I'm not religious but I closed my eyes and prayed.

Well im one week out of surgery. I have started eating more with no problems. I can get all my protein down. I still struggle with my 64 ounces of water but i had trouble with drinking water before surgery. Ive lost 11 lbs since surgery but its werid for some reason i dont feel like ive lost that much. Maybe because i have 100 more to go lol
