Hi! My name is Elle & I was sleeved this Monday on 03/09/15 & definitely the first 2 days were the worse! I'm definitely dying to eat a cracker or something with substance! I can't stand the Protein Shakes at all! Hope you are recovering well.

Hi.. I also was sleeved on March 9th.. I agree the first 2 days were aweful!

I ended up staying 4 days in the hospital. The problem I am having is keeping my blood sugar stable. I am not diabetic, but I am getting low blood sugars and now have to test my blood sugar 6 times a day. Didn't expect that! They have to figure out now what is causing it and how to keep it in the normal range. I am not experiencing any hunger and it's hard to get in the liquids that's I am suppose to have for the whole day. I am feeling better as every day passes. I hope we all will feel better soon!

I was also sleeved Monday. The first two days were tough. Couldn't get down more than about 100 calories, and couldn't poop. I think I've got a decent routine now.

- 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm - Protein shake mixed with 4oz Water and 4oz skim milk.

- Sip mixture of three parts Water and one part juice or Gatorade throughout the day.

- 4oz prune juice before bed.

Still not easy, but I getting the Protein I need without much discomfort. Guilty pleasure for the day, I opened a jar or Peanut Butter just for a smell. :-)

I was actually sleeved on 3/10/15. The first few days were pretty rough but my doc wanted me up moving around as much as I could to help with the gas pains. I had a hard time getting in all my liquids at first but it's easier now. I've lose about 10 pounds since Tuesday. It's just nuts! Good luck to everyone!

3-9-15 .... So far so good not one pain killer. Back to work on Monday. But have been feeling a little wired, I told my wife to stop at the black light which of course I meant red... Lol

Sleeved on the 9th. The second day my worst. Hard to get in Protein and Water. Unfortunately 6 days out I got a kidney stone (unrelated) but put me back in the hospital. I had another surgery last night to put s stent in my kidney. My recovery has been anything but normal, but I can easily say that the VSG was much more tolerable! Down 10 lbs!

Hi Niners! I had my surgery on the 9th also. Gas pains boy was I not prepared for that! I was hating life until one giant fart on Wednesday afternoon. I swear I could feel my insides rearrange! Pain has been very managable but the smell of any of my Protein makes me want to get sick. I can get most of my Fluid but not the protein. Hoping that will get better after follow up next week. Good luck to everyone!

Hi All! Staples out today! Feels great! Doc gave me thumbs up for light weights, elliptical, stationary bike, and road bike as long as I take it easy and keep it on flat roads. There's a bike path about .5 miles from the house, so looks like a trial ride to the beach tomorrow! Wish me luck!

[blacktee92675 120]

Hi all! Day 9 and getting sleeved on the 9th! Thirteen mile bike ride down along the beach and feel great! What a great way to spend the day!

To those March 9ners still having challenges recovering, please take comfort knowing that it will be much better very soon!

[blacktee92675 120]

I can't wait for cottage cheese and eggs! But I guess I'll have to since the Dic said wait until Monday. That's ok, I had another 13 mile ride along the beach today!
