Any February 2014 Sleevers?

I wish I had a binder I feel like I have to walk around holding my insides in lol

If you have any kind of medical in home type place (usually in or near a hospital) you could probably buy one. Though, I did order a couple shape wear tank tops to see how I like them.

9 days out I was sleeved on 2/18 and I feel so much better. I lost 14 lbs so far from surgery date and I'm eating better. February has been good to me !! Can't wait to be a month out so I can really see the difference.

I'm down 26 pounds since I started the liquid diet on the 5th!! 10 of those pounds have come off me since monday. I can't believe it! All the pain and inconvenience of this surgery has been 10000% worth it! It's only going to get better from here on out.

We're all gonna be some hot beotches this summer!

Mild pain & super tired. Able to walk. Been doing plenty of walking today. No problem with getting Water down. My mouth is super dry.

I called my dr's office cuz I was having the same problem. They told me to add benefiber to my liquids and take a Dulcolax. I did and it worked for me.

Hey glitter are you taking benefiber and dulcolax daily ?? I just really wanna make sure I can get regular! Today was so painful I don't want to do that again lol

I took only one Dulcolax so far. I only went that one day too. I've been doing Benefiber daily. So maybe I need to do another Dulcolax.

I had a hard time going to the bathroom . It was so bad my mother (nurse), gloves, and Vaseline was the only way I could finish with my mother. Anyway, is anyone on soft foods? I have been on soft foods for two days and it's horrible. I have so much pain eating. All I can do is yell.... 16 pounds since feb. 18 surgery.

Ever since I switched to puréed I haven't lost any weight... It's been two days now and I'm not liking it one bit ????

I just went and bought benefiber and colace for a stool softner. I just don't know if I should take one daily or not

Remember that it's normal to have a bit of a stall around the 3 week mark. The dreaded stall for your body to play catch-up. So put the scales away if it starts getting to ya.

My doc told me to take the Fiber daily until I add veggies back into my diet if that helps.

I am on much different diet than everyone else. I started purées on post op day 3. I start soft Proteins next Monday. It makes me feel like this isn't going to work. Like I love my dr and trust him, but I've literally cried over it to my husband that I'm already like eating food and a lot of people on here are still on liquids. I've been swallowing pain meds since my last day in the hospital. I'm just feeling like this isn't going to work.

It WILL work, so get that thought out of your head right now. There are lots and lots of people on this site whose doc has advanced their diets as fast as yours and they do just as well as anyone else. Kick those negative thoughts out of your head.

Hi All- Day 17 and I overdid it. Granted its Mardi Gras and I live in New Orleans. Spent two nights out with kids and friends at parades. Then lunches with girlfriends in day ( where I have like 4 bites of Soup and watch everybody eat). Anyhoo, kind of quit paying attention as much to Water intake and mac Protein intake; feeling really ragged out and sore. Refocusing on myself today

and keeping good track. When things get hectic it's easy to focus on everything else except yourself. Hope everyone's ok today.

Amen to that. I'm only 10 days out and am in the process of moving. It's way too easy to put everything before your own health when you're not vigilant. Today is definitely going to be a "focus on me" day.
