How long did your surgery take? How long do you need to stay in hospital?

I had my sleeve surgery on 1/5/16, and it took about 1.5 hours, then home 2 days later, now drinking Protein, broth, juice, meeting goals. Good luck!

I too had my sleeve on 1/5/16. I was home on Thursday. On Protein diet and liquids diet for one week then on soft foods the next week. Everything went well. I was nauseous and in pain for one day. The Meds helped a lot. By Thursday I felt much better. Today my fifth day I was out at Aldi's getting organic stuff to make my protein smoothies. I can drink about 64 oz of Water in 12 hours and two Protein Drinks in 10 hours. I try to have broth with my Vitamins so it won't upset my stomach. I have not weighted myself yet. Will do so on Sunday. But I know I've lost weight. The Victoria's Secret Pjs I got for Christmas wouldn't fit and now the pants is lose and feels comfy. Scars are healing well. I am not hungry but it could be the protein drinks. My Breakfast one almond milk and is filling with Protein Powder. A little Greek yogurt to change up a little.

Just curious what other's are experiencing for stomach capacity with their newly sleeved stomach; after two weeks I really have no problem knocking back an 11 oz Protein shake, ditto for broth etc.

My biggest problem is remembering to drink Water during the day at work, I rarely do though I am trying to drink a couple bottles a day while working. I really have no problem drinking...just remembering and making myself do it.

I didn't have any problem drinking Protein drinks or broth. But can only eat a half of cup or less of real food. It has been very restrictive which is good.

Down about 43 pounds in 5 weeks. ????

I do have trouble drinking Water because I stay so full for so long after eating and don't feel like drinking up to two hours after eating sometimes.

I had by band removed back in 2012 I'm wondering how much scar tissue they will have when they start mine and if it is going to cause an issue.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
