I am having my VSG surgery in Mexico on December 7th. Anyone else getting Sleeved that day? Would love to have a buddy to chat with through this journey. ☺️

I don't think I've had 1 day where I've gotten in enough liquids. It's really hard. But I have had several days where I've gotten plenty of Protein.

I walk almost every day, but still pretty low energy 3-weeks post op.

And if it's ok, I'd like to be an honorary member of this sleeve buddy club since I don't have one.

Of course you can. Give us an update on your sleeve journey.

My lap-band to gastric sleeve revision surgery was on November 20th. I had to do a 2-week pre-op diet consisting of mostly Protein liquids along with a salad each day. Everything went great with surgery besides having a seizure at the hospital!!!

I had constant nausea the entire first week after surgery, but it's better now. I also try to walk every day even though I still don't have very much energy.

My biggest craves, believe it or not, are apples, bananas, tuna, and pizza. 3 out of 4 ain't bad I guess. Lol.

I am now 3 weeks post op and have lost 30 pounds. It's a decent start, but I still have a long way to go.

Good luck to everyone!!!

So how is everyone this week???

I'm on day 5. I am able to get all my liquids and Protein in so far. I have not experienced nausea just stomach spasms. I did call the doctor's office about this because its painful. I was told it was perfectly normal and its caused by the hernia repair. She said once the swelling goes down the spasms should subside. I really hope this is the case, even though I'm getting my liquids in, it freaking painful. I just had hubby take my ON-Q out so now I have something else to obsess about - when the meds wear off what will my level of pain be? Yep, I'm completely nuts. I'm do beginner exercises daily, trying not to push myself too hard, no setbacks!!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

I seem to be doing worse. I did so good the first few days and now that I am 9 days post op I am in pain and nauseous. Not sure why this is happening.

would be good to speak with a doctor.

drink lots of fluids, walk as often as you can but dont pressure yourself and stop if you have pain. try to breath deeply.

I haven't been getting enough fluids. I am trying though. I am walking and getting my Protein in. I think it is possible that while in Mexico my husband got sick the same day as my surgery and I was running on adrenaline. Now I am back to resting my body is letting me feel what all it has been through.

Definitely call your doctor.

So how is everyone this week???

I'm doing pretty good. I will be 4 weeks post-op on Friday and have lost about 34 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. Close to 6 lbs a week so far.

I'm still struggling to get enough liquids, Protein, and calories. I'm hovering around 450 calories per day.
