Of course we all need buddies! I am feeling a bit discouraged and frustrated about waking up with my sleeve. Seriously to have to start the count down all over has me mentally drained. I want to enjoy every day until the end of May but damn it if that's not the biggest thing on my mind!! On top of having to recover and go through this recovering process 2 times is hell. The lap band is horrible and I discourage people against. No losses just a major pain in the you know what

How is everyone doing? I just had my sleeve done this past Friday and honestly I wasn't expecting the recovery to be this difficult! My leak test was great but it hurts when I try to eat or drink liquids. It's like my stomach is having spasms. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing it's due to swelling of the stomach after surgery? I got so dehydrated yesterday that I couldn't even urinate anymore. Back to the hospital I went for IV fluids , but today I'm back on track with my fluids now. Pedialyte is helping me a lot in the early stages. Taking it one day at a time [emoji17]

Jasb88 congratulations! Take it one day at a time. Although I wasn't able to get my sleeve the same day they took my lap band out recovery has been hard for me also. One thing I do know is that every day you will start to feel alittle better. Take it easy on yourself and give yourself what you need to feel better.. Sip pedialyte and other drinks all throughout the day. What you experience during your healing will become a memory soon. I do understand your pain. I am day 4 from post-op and have horrible hives and haven't been able to go to the bathroom yet.

I did Premier Protein . they tasted great and I lost over 10 lbs.

Today I realized that I'm losing 2lbs per day with the liquid diet

I did 2 full weeks of nothing but Premier shakes everyday. He had me drinking 6-7 a day and then fluids in between. I did it pretty easily staying full on shakes. Still drink them even now. My surgery was 8-29-15. Just had my 6 mos check up. I am having trouble figuring out how to monitor this website but I am trying.

Had mine done this last Thursday and did pretty ok. The biggest prob I had is severe Constipation, after taking Dulcolax I had movement last night. Still can't get a rhythm with liquids, gonna try more Water and Premier Protein.< /p>

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
