Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

Anyone else exhausted? The last two days I've been SO tired. I'm 11 days post-op and am eating nothing but protein and drinking liquids all day. Thoughts? Tips?

You could call your PCP and get a B-12 shot. I finally got one yesterday. I was feeling draggy this week, upped my protein at the advice of my NUT but still went in and got a shot.

I bought sublingual B12 last night at WalMart to try and see if that helps.

Please add me! 12/17

Please add me too 12/30

Please add me to the list. My surgery is on 12/30. Thanks!

I am 10 days post-op and have felt great until the last day or two.......I suddenly have no energy at all........getting in all my protein + taking b12 sublingual..........just want to stay in bed? Should I be concerned or is this just my body's way of responding to my new lifestyle?

Is anyone else having lots of heatburn?? In trying to get all my liquids and protein in, but even water gives me heartburn..

Is anyone else having lots of heatburn?? In trying to get all my liquids and protein in, but even water gives me heartburn..

I'm not having a LOT of heartburn but, considering I didn't have reflux or heartburn before surgery, it has increased. For me I think some of it's a combo of gas bubbles causing wet burps and acid production. I was told to get Pepcid Complete to help with that. I also take gas x chewable.

If the heartburn is bad I would ask the doc for a prescription PPI. Also, do you think it is related to a certain food? Soft egg yolks were so satisfying for me, but they bit me back a few hours later. Apple sauce with cinnamon also had me pacing the streets with discomfort a couple hours later.

I hope it improves soon!

My dr has me on prescription Pepcid 2x day

Seems to be working fine

Give that a try

Yes Its works for me too.

Thanks everyone, I'll try that. Ive been doing the gas-X strips and tums, but its Still not 100%. It's really hard for me to get anything down when I feel like it just sits on my esophagus and burns...

Hi my name is Sharon and I just had the gastric sleeve on the 16th of December. I weighed 251 right after Thanksgiving and am now at 225. I have not had much pain but I am having problems with craving food. I don't feel hungry at all but I do feel empty. I eat or drink my meal and still just feel empty. Is this normal or is it in my head.

I am 10 days post-op and have felt great until the last day or two.......I suddenly have no energy at all........getting in all my protein + taking b12 sublingual..........just want to stay in bed? Should I be concerned or is this just my body's way of responding to my new lifestyle?

Right there with ya! My multivitamin and the Life Water I'm drinking are giving me enough B12, should I add a tablet? Maybe it's a lack of protein. I'm not at 60 grams/day yet. I'm around 40.

Sleeved on the 27th with hiatal hernia repair. Glad to have finally made it to the losers bench. Still at hospital...day 1 post op. Well be discharged tomorrow. Overall doing good. Have been experiencing some pain, but it's manageable. Walking and walking and walking and using gas x strips, but the gas is stubborn and don't won't to get out. It hasn't been all peaches and cream, but it is doable. Plan to hang it there, because for a change I KNOW I CAN SUCCEED WITH MY NEWEST TOOL.

HW 308 in March 2013

JW 289 in Oct 2013 (weight when I started this sleeve journey)

SW 276.4 (lost 12 pounds on pre op diet)

CW...will update after 1 week post op appt

The best item i brought with me was my mini electric massager, it really helped relax my back and shoulder muscles which seemed so tensed and achy after surgery.

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts of well wishes!!!

My thoughts and prayers go out for those yet to be sleeved, and also to those already sleeved.
