If ur sleeve date is 2/9 let's connect and stay close!!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. Still battling along seeing chest specialist next week. It's quite strange with food my first two weeks I was hungry well now I think it was head hunger! This week I am not hungry at all and am not interested in any food at all. I have also upped my water intake almost to 2 litres now. I have to force myself to eat though! Has anyone else had this?

I was sleeved on 2/8, so exactly 2 weeks ago. I am pretty much on a regular diet, with the exception of lettuce. I am a little scared to try roughage just yet. Is anyone else on a regular diet this soon? I am tolerating everything just fine. The only thing that upset my tummy a little was the fairlife chocolate milk I tried and some sirachi (however you spell it...lol) that was on some sushi I ate.

I'm a 2/8er also and I'm on almost a regular diet. No raw veggies or nuts. Three or four bites though of dense food like chicken and I'm done. I want a salad soooooooooooo bad! I haven't and won't venture into anything like steak for another month or so. I'm on the "soft food" stage, but that's practically all I eat anyway.

I eat just about everything. I have not tried salad yet, but I had steak for dinner tonight. I am down 28 pounds so far. No problems at all. I will probably try salads in about a week or so. No pain, but I do get full very quickly. I have only had about 600 calories today, but I am close to 40 g of Protein and about 40 oz of Fluid. I. Having a hard time getting all my protein and fluid in.

Good Morning Everyone! Feeling 85% back to my normal self, which is great. I've decided to start working out & see if I can build muscle. My doctor really made an impression on me with his recommendations to avoid sagging skin. I'll let everyone know how I feel after a good workout.

Anyone else going to the gym yet?

I'm still only walking. I have some 5lb dumbbells I've incorporated into the walks but I haven't gotten cleared for "real" exercise yet. My surgeon says resistance bands are OK also.

I get clearance on March 10th so I'm patiently waiting.

Also I went back to more of a purée diet adding fish into the mix.

I can't seem to get in my Protein and I know I have to but it's just so difficult. Has anyone tried protein shits? They are maybe 3 or 4 oz and have 28 or so grams of protein.

I hope you don't mind me sneaking in???? I need advice from my older sleevers!! I was sleeved on 2/18 and doing ok almost getting in all my liquids a day and averaging 80-85grms protein but I have ZERO energy. I see everyone else walking and starting to do light exercise and I ran to the store for 30mins then slept 5hrs! What the heck!! I feel like I'm tired all the time I sleep about 6-7hrs each night but then also take about a 4hr nap during the day. Should I be worried? I really want to start walking but my body says no way! I had a ton of energy before surgery and would hike with my dogs about 2x a week and so exercise videos I feel like I went backwards instead of forwards.

I've never seen that type of protein, but I'm willing to try it. Thanks!

Welcome! I'm sure one of my 2/9 teammates will try to offer suggestions. They are wonderful giving advice and sharing information.

I'm not getting all of anything down really. I do everything I can to drink 16oz of Water and 16oz of Protein Shakes daily and I almost always make that, but anything more becomes a challenge.

Following. 2/9 surgery

Are you taking your vitamins daily? I still find it difficult to get that much protein in and all my liquids. I notice if I haven't drank enough and get extremely tired.

Hi everyone. I'm wrapping up week 3 soon and this week I just started experiencing acid reflux which I have never before. I find myself popping tums several times per day. Anyone experiencing the same? I knew this was anticipated. I bought nexium before surgery but didn't realize it was time released. I thought I was lucky since I hadn't experienced any acid reflux...

Also, since I sleep with a cpap machine I just started having trouble sleeping since the back of my throat is not closing like it should. My mouth gets extremely dry.

Hello all...I had my surgery on 2/8. It went well. Had to stay in hospital extra day as my bp was really high and nausea and dry heaves was off the chart. By 2/10, i felt great no pain, able to drink about 8ozs. I am now starting week 4 and am down 11lbs. I had lost 50lbs before surgery so Im pretty happy with 61lbs since ive started my journey. I caught an upper resp infection week 2 after surgery, that has slowed me down quite a bit. I cant wait to have the energy to run again. I registered to run my first 5k. Pretty excited about that as well.

Had the same issue with the cpap bought and they work!

When they sent me home after surgery they prescribed omeprazole which i take once a day. Does it help you to space out how much you drink during a given time?
