JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP

[SMED0308 47]

Good morning new sleevers! I was sleeved July 1st. I have been experiencing cramp feelings on my left side. This starts mostly after i drink my shakes. Has anyone else experience this? I also went walking this morning and felt light cramps.

I was on the 2nd. I've had the same "cramps". I mostly have those at night. I want to sleep on my side, but they put me on my back. Hope to get to shakes today after this appt!

Independence day will mean more to me than just fireworks. I celebrated my personal Independence, hence the name rebirth7414. I had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico on July 4th. I was so nervous about going out of the country. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. I'm a week out today and still on liquids. I went in grocery store yesterday to get some things first time I ever walked through and didn't have a desire for stuff of course bad stuff. I bought frozen fruit to make smoothies. I am ready to start working out but I know my body isn't. My stomach is still sore swelling is going down. In a few months I will be looking at a new person in the mirror. I cant wait to meet her!

First postop visit. Can't say I've lost a whole lot, but 29 pounds total including my preop prep. Swelling is starting to go down and I'm back to shakes. They taste extra good for some reason. Haha. No real hunger feelings, and food hasn't bothered me hardly at all. Hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to see everyone's before sand after pics next year. Not to wish a year away, just pounds.

I had Surgery July 9th.. I came home this morning on July 10th.. I can't keep anything down.. Everytime I take a sip of Water I throw up and dry heave.. It really hurts my belly.. My neck and shoulders are super sore also.. Is the sickness normal?

Congrats on the loss. Anytime the scale is going the other direction is a good day: )

I had my surgery the 9th too-I'm not throwing up the Water. But if I drink anything else -specifically Jello or gaterade-I throw up.

Have you been walking? I heard that helps with the shoulder pain.

I feel those light cramps too on my right side after my shakes as well. I was sleeved on the 1st.Feeling weak tired of this liquid diet I wanna chew. I am following my Drs instruction to the tee I don't want to be a failure.

I am so sorry for you. Hopefully they provided you something for nausea. I was told it is pretty common, but lucked out not having to take the meds I bought. Super small sips might help. I was so used to gulping. There is no more gulping. If you didn't get something for the nausea, I would ask ASAP.

Hi all. I was sleeved on July 3rd. Some post-op pain from the belly button incision, but that has pretty much disappeared. More tired than anything. My first post op doc visit is Monday and I will be heading back to work Tuesday. I also have trouble getting the shakes down as well as all of the pills/vitamins. But I do my best! Good luck to everyone!!

July 9 was my surgery. Feeling much better as the days go on. The day of surgery I was a mess. I did have pain and slept a lot. The walking took a back seat unless you want to count all the times I went to the bathroom!

I'm on Clear liquids until my 1st postop on Monday. I wasn't required a pre op diet except the day prior- Clear Liquids only. So next Monday I move up to Protein shakes for 2 weeks.

So far I've lost 10 lbs
