1st July Sleevers

[luna_moth 3]

I just got back from walking the neighborhood. It's a small neighborhood so I was only gone about 15 minutes but it was great to get outside.

I have an extra sensitive nose and funky taste too. Today makes 1 week sleeved. I thought i was doing pretty well but i spent 30 mins at the park with kids yesterday. Came home exhausted and nauseous.

sleeved July 1, tired of liquids don't think I'm getting in enough Protein. I have no energy. Gas subsiding,no pain just tired of these foods.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat. My pain and nausea are minimal but I have no energy. Feeling weak and wobbly which makes me nervous to go too far from home. I haven't been out anywhere besides walking down my street because I'm afraid of feeling faint in public.

I'm a July 1 sleever. I am feeling like I am recovering well, although I'm alternating between sleeping on the recliner and in a guest room. Having a hard time with that. A little sore, especially in the belly button area (hernia repaired there). Gas is subsiding now. Had to take a laxative on Saturday (per instructions at leaving the hospital) and that worked easily. Today, I have been to the bathroom 5 times, hmmm. I can't drink Water yet, it just hurts! I'm supposed to go into pureed foods on Friday ... we'll see where that gets me. Had to speak with the surgeon on Saturday, he told me to take Lasix to try to bring down all the swelling in my legs and feet. By the time I left the hospital on the 3rd, I was up 10.2 pounds. As of today, I'm just .1 shy of losing 1 pound (since weighing in on 7/1 before surgery).

Buyers remorse? Not sure, just feeling awfully skeptical about the entire process.

Thanks jessica i thought im the only one!! I was goin crazzzy!! [/quoteI had a metallic taste with all 3 of my pregnancies. They told me it was a fluctuation of hormone levels. Hope it goes away soon. I was always miserable with it. :/

Sorry, I don't know why my last comment ^^^ came out like that.

[luna_moth 3]

So I over estimated how good I was feeling. I walked longer than ever this morning but when I ran out to the bank and then did some grocery shopping this afternoon I came home feeling exhausted. I am also alternating between sleeping in the comfy chair with the ottoman and trying to sleep in my bed. It seems like it really hurts to sleep flat but I'm getting soooo tired of the chair. I have 3 more weeks of liquid only. I never thought I'd envy someone when they said they got to eat pureed food next week but I do.I'm still struggling with removing the buyers remorse from my thoughts. It's done now so I need to view this positively but it's still hard.

I overdid yesterday and am sore and testy today. Totally my fault! No more bending over either as it hurts and I just kept working through it. Hello, listen to the body!

However, Milagro the Mexican Wonder Tummy is now noshing on a Bariatric Advantage Calcium Chew (caramel) and while loud, isn't too upset. This is the first solid thing he's had in 3 weeks!!!!

Does anyone have a garmin vivofit?? I bought one today even though it's not tracking much activity from me at the moment! lol but it sure will be come the next few weeks! Just wondering so maybe we can buddy up and track each other's progress etc! It also pairs up with my fitness pal!

I switched from liquid to purée today. Never have a scrambled egg for Breakfast and puréed chicken for lunch tasted so good!

How is everyone doing?
