May 28-31st Sleeve Week!

Surgery week folks! Today our 27s go through surgery and we will keep this thread going for a week while we all get sleeved!

It's FINALLY arrived, I don't know about you, but I am excited, anxious, nervous and did I say excited? I am SOOO over trying to figure out the next diet to do that will rebound in a few months. At last I have a tool that will WORK forever!

Get your lip balm and Gas-x strips ready and I heard a heating pad can be awesome for stubborn gasses in your back and shoulders the first few days, can't hurt to take it with you! If you are in a big busy hospital and might have to share a room, bring ear plugs and an eye mask... you may not need it but better to have it if you do. Don't forget to get up walking as soon as possible, it helps the gas go away. Excited to see how everyone does!

Sitting up with out crazy pain. Went for some short drives. Order some protein powder for the next phase of my eating starting Friday. I hope everyone is making positive steps forward.

HI. Are your pains around your incisions or the center of your tummy? I am still getting gas pains in the evenings. 6 days post op and my energy level really started to fall yesterday. I was feeling so good the first 4 days then yesterday I was extremely fatigued and today the dizziness came. I'm getting my fluids in and my protein too. It's starting to really heat up here in the Sacramento valley and it's kinda exhausting. IDK. Just part of the baby steps it's taking to recover. 9 lbs post op feels wonderful.

Nsv: My wedding rings are loose and almost fell off when I washed my hands! Haven't got on the scale yet but that has to be a good sign!

Stopped into work today and seen some coworkers off the first time in about 2 weeks and was already told I look different!! ;) 25 lbs gone in 2 weeks!!!

yea devi and sh3!! I am not even down 10lbs yet so I can't imagine looking even the slightest bit different yet. lol

Move on over to the WEEK 2 thread everyone, it was started Tuesday (that way we don't end up with a 899 page thread in 6 months :)

Same here, energy really lagging today, also 6 days out. Warm here too and I took a 3 hour nap today.

Took a couple days and feeling a bit better. Getting really tired of all these suppliments. Glad I'm off work until the end of June. Takes time to get acclimated to this routine. My work day usually starts at 4 am. sleeping in until 9 am is really wonderful.
