I was July 14th too. I thought I would be doing a little better but I'm really sore. I'm just sipping and trying to walk. Soooo sleepy

Me too. The pain was horrible. Are you able to keep things down?

I drink 3 8oz bottles of Water, 3 Popsicles, and about a half cup of chicken broth a day. I know that's not enough but I just keep trying to drink a little more each day. I do get stomach spasms when a drinking so I'm trying to be kind to my baby sleeve. I haven't had to touch the nausea meds yet, but feeling very sore at the main incision site.

I'm a 14th sleever. I'm hanging in there. Each day has gotten better. I still have pain in the main incision site. Overall I feel weak, fatigued. I think it's because the lack or nutrients. Clear Liquids has nothing. I hope I feel better when I start Protein Shakes. I'm walking around the house but don't really have enough energy to go outside.

I have a swollen red spot in my upper arm. I'm thinking maybe a pooling of iv fluids or a pinched nerve from the blood pressure cuff. It hurts as bad as my main incision. Anyone else have this?

I had the sleeve done July 15th, and I'm having 3 Protein shakes daily - 4 oz of skim milk with a scoop of Protein mix. You're doing no protein at all??

I am allowed only clear liquids until my first post op appointment on Thursday. After a week of no calories, I'm starting to feel pretty weak...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
