So excited and a bit anxious for tomorrow. I've been on Optifast for 2 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. I sending out positive thoughts, healing light and love to all of you!

This is just the beginning of this crazy journey, and I can't wait for the ride.

@@jgeldmacher, see you in post-op maybe. LOL

Sorry to hear about your loss as well. If you need extra support, we are here.

Laying on my left side with heating pad help me move to a bm. I also feel my insides moving when I go from laying down to standing.

Anyone from 3/28 have a BM yet? I've been on stool softeners, walking, drinking, passing gas but nothing yet.

My first BM was Thursday. I've had one every day since then. Very small.

I had a great recovery so far. Healing nicely. Getting my Vitamins and minerals in, fluids, and Protein in every day. Walking a few miles every day. No pain at all. Here comes the bad news. Two days after surgery, my mother passed away. So I have to travel now for the funeral and stay on top of everything while traveling. Wish me luck.

I've read lots of posts on here about sleeve stretching liquids pass straight through your stomach from what I understand so NO I know it's a paranoia us sleevers can have but I feel much much more at ease about this issue since researching it you can not do any harm by drinking more clear liquids

Today is my first day back at work. Almost has anxiety attack this morning thinking about it. Once I was here, everything g has been great! A nice distraction and life feels normal again. Doing great on protein and liquid today. Doc said two weeks. One for healing and one for learning how to get fluid in. Glad I decided to come back early.

Congrats

Today went to week post op check in. I'm down 16 pounds. Yay!! I feel bloated and doc said that is due to not enough protein. I have also been moved to puree- stage 2! How is everyone?

Thanks!!

Glad to hear all of the successes. I'm going in today to remove my stitches. ..can't wait. I've been semi back to full activity and the protein/vitamin intake has been really good. Down a total of 16 or 17 lbs depending which one I want to believe mine or the doc's lol. Down 3 diabetic and 1 hbp meds is the ultimate high!
