Hi Smiley1968. The first two days post op were horrible with severe nausea. Each day has been better than the day before. Now I am enjoying creamed Soups and Isopure. How are you doing??

Had surgery October 19th. Saw doctor today and since October 5th, my total weight loss was only 11 lbs. I'm disappointed to say the least. I've been very hungry, bit today that feeling has abated. I'm on leave from work until year end, so fatigue has not been a concern. Tomorrow, I will take a walk at the gym or outside. I think my loss is low because I'm laying around watching TV. I also picked up some high protein soups to ease my salt cravings. I find the high protein SlimFast pleasant-tasting. Sometimes I add the sugar-free Torani classic Carmel syrup for a change. Would like to hear from anyone who has started exercising and at what date post-op they began.

You can not judge weight loss this soon out. You are still dealing with the fluids and swelling from surgery. Don't be disappointed - .we typically gain after surgery. I was done on the 18th and only weighed because had my follow up appointment with the surgeon. I'm not even counting this weight. Be sure you are getting at least 64ozs of fluid and work on getting enough protein if you aren't already. Stick with the plan. Be sure the shakes are low sugar and high protein. Good luck!

Kristen, Thank you for your encouraging email. I am not drinking 64 oz of water, but will now. I believe that I am doing fine with protein, but have to cut out extra salt. Congrats and encouragement to my fellow sleepers. Lila

Be sure to concentrate on fluids first - right now that's most important. Ask your Dr about something for the nausea if you're not already taking anything.

Thank you..wil do! : )

Good luck any remaining October Sleevers !

@@lowbmi65 Thank you! I'm "you know whatting" a pickle right now. Halloween is my day. I'm so worried about this surgery because I have had a few bouts of Laryngospasm. It began after the removal of my thyroid. If it happens during surgery and they cannot break it, my surgeon told me the worst case scenario is a tracheotomy.

Okay, now It's all real. Just got "the call" from the hosp telling me what time to be there and all of the specifics that go along with that.

Someone who's had this done already.. please tell me, how did you feel when you first woke up?

I was disoriented at first; in fact, I didn't even know where I was right away, but that cleared up pretty fast, and my family was with me in fairly short order.

I was crying in pain. Your hospital might tell you there is nothing you can do about the gas they fill you up with but that is a lie. You will still go home with bad gas pains if your anything like me but go to cvs and get phayzme. Take it and walk walk walk
