One week till.... would love to "friend" other May 5th Sleevers and share ups and downs before/during/after. I'm excited and all ready! Chime in of you're getting sleeved on May 5th!

I had surgery on 5/5. I can't get my water or protein in. I'm nauseous on and off. I have sharp pains on and off. All I wanna do is cry and give up. Called the dr.'s office, wasn't much help. All the did was tell me to space out my pills -which I have been and take an extra Prilosec. If it get worse go to er. Ahhh I am just over this.

Every doctor is different but mine told me not to count anything except Water. 64 oz a day, a sip at a time...no gulping. I could drink the Protein drink or I didn't have to. I drink Powerade Zero, Crystal Light, V-8 juice. I have creamed Soups diluted with skim milk, pureed and strained. NO chunks. I eat sf pudding and CarbMaster Yogurt (Kroger). This is my diet from May 12 until June 9.

I take 8 pills a day for numerous problems. I have to crush the pills and I have to take them 10 minutes apart. It is frustrating but I do it.

Make sure you are walking at least 30 minutes a day....it doesn't have to be all at once. 5 minutes here, 10,minutes there. Build yourself you...so a bit farther and walk longer every day. I use the Free app MOVE on my Iphone and it has been a great help
I was advised that GasX strips were good for stomach upset. I am have been so blessed....I haven't had that problem.

I hope this has been some help. I am by no means and expert or a doctor...

Just checking in with all the May sleepers. How's everybody doing? I'm going back to work on June 2nd after 4 weeks off. I feel great and hope I can continue my good habits now that I return to my stressful job. I made my first goal , 25 lbs down!

Oops I meant sleevers don't like my auto-correct!!

Well I'm still nauseous, dizzy, light headed, pain on rt side. I can get my water and protein in.

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you checked with your doctor regarding the pain and nausea? Everyone has different recovery unfortunately. Keep reminding yourself that things will eventually get much better. Take it easy
