Hi guys! This support group is amazing, we have a huge huge group of only friends and supporters... Exchanging msgs, encouraging each other and a whole lot of love ???? (wifi love)

I m from India, I will be getting sleeved in Feb haven't discussed the date as yet with my surgeon. I m more excited and not so nervous, reading everybody's experience has just made me more and more sure that YES!!! I m getting this done for sure. I have struggled with obesity all my life, never in my life have I seen me thin or just overweight.... Always morbid obesity, approaching my 30's and all I m reminded of life long struggle of never being able to stick to a diet or lose the excess weight. I feel so supported here in the group, ppl out there just to encourage you, help you, clear your apprehensions.... All in all a crazy positive energy in here...

Hope we can help each other embark this journey and motivated.

And February sleevers? India sleevers? Let's share out doctors appointments, gas problems, Multivitamin intake ???? lets just talk ????

Current weight : 242 pounds

Goal weight : 142 pounds

Sleeve date: to be confirmed

It's 3 days post op and I feel soooo much sore and the gas doesn't seem to leave me alone.... I have not been drinking as per my needs, I feel like if I sip more I will vomit and I can't sip frequently either.... It's incredibly difficult to get anything inside of me.... Can you suggest what needs to be done here?

Walk walk.walk pumpkin. It will relieve the gas much quicker. I have also heard that if u sip while standing it may be easier. Everything is a bit swollen for u right now. It will all calm down soon.

Where is the gas pain at?

Yes, make yourself walk. I drink warm water and it goes down much better. Every day you will get like 5% better. Hang in there, at 2 weeks you should feel almost 100%. Keep positive and sleep it off.

Hi girls... I feel like my health is getting better by the minute????????

So rite, everybody I get better by 5%, hoping to hit the 2 week mark soon enough....

It's been 4days since the sleeve and I have lost 4 pounds.... Good or bad?

Gas feels better now and food goes down easy as well.

Thankyou all you for the kind words????

Oh that is sooo good to hear Cloud 9! I wondered if u were able to get rid of the gas pain. So good to hear you are holding down liquids better too! 4lbs is great! They pump u full of fluids before you leave so u prob lost more than u realized.

I made it thru Day 1 back at work. Im now ready for coma to commence. Only i truly need to get my protein and more fluids in. Soooo tired tho. Hugs all. Hope you are all doing well!

Sallyomalley67,

Have a wonderful work day.... Yes protein is key to healing and energy.

I remember in elementary school studying 'protein is the building blocks of energy' I feel energy/life/body pretty much everything....

Sip... Sip... Sip...

How's everybody doing with their sleeves?????

I m doing soooo much better, everyday the health gets better... It's 12days post op, in another 2days I m gonna jump to puréed stage kinda excited about that???? been craving chicken and meat!!

How did you guys last the puréed stage? Any exciting recipes for that stage? With chicken

Do let me know...

Love to all my fellow Sleevers ????

Yay! That stage is def exciting! Lol

Doing well. Hit a stall for about 10 days but moving again.

Sallyomalley67

15 pounds down and now 1 week of no weight loss.... Is that a stall???

Eh. I call it a pause. LOL

Im losing again. I upped my calories (added a yogurt or cheese stick) and that seemed to get my losing to start back up. ????

If i dont walk I dont lose. I have figured that out. Movement is required lol

Same here, more I move the faster it melts away! So nice to know it's not coming back, only loosing more in the future!

I'm trying to find the link to the Facebook group...anyone have it handy? Thanks

It's been 2weeks post op for me..., how much are you guys walking??? I m not particularly walking ???? the doctor has asked me not walk much just be active.
