Hello all,

I wanted to make a separate thread for all of the September sleevers to post updates and share tips. Of course any and everybody is welcome!

I am 13 days post op and feeling great. Still on liquids, so my diet is mostly Water and Protein shakes. I'm not feeling hungry at all, and "head hunger" only lasted a few days. Tonight was the first night I have seen my close friends since surgery and everyone was betting on how much I've lost. It made me feel good and gave me a spring in my step. I haven't weighed myself and I'm waiting to see how much I've lost since surgery for my first post op visit on Monday. I can't wait to see who was closest.

The only downside is I've developed a cold. It's irritating but I'm managing. All of the coughing has me a little concerned that I will pop a staple or something. I spoke to my surgeons PA and she was not concerned about that occurring. I'm on the upswing and expect the cold to be out of my system in a day or so.

How is everyone else doing? I hope everyone is healing and resting.

I am exactly 1 week post op today. Still have a lot of spasms. Clear fluids... im not hungry but watching people bite into a fresh bread roll with ham and cheese making me crave that. I had a bad reaction to anesthesia for over 48hrs. Yesterday I avoided drinking much because of the spasms and pain which I think made me dehydrated this morning. I have come good since

Haha, I have also been craving a deli sandwich.

Hi everyone! I had the sleeve done Monday morning and was discharged Tuesday. I'm struggling with gas pain and dread having to cough. Other than that, I'm doing pretty well. I am struggling with head hunger and am looking forward to the soft food stage.

Same here!, I can't wait until I can actually chew something. Even if it's a bite or two. It's officially been a week for me.

I had my surgery 9/26 I am in a lot of pain in my calves and last night the poop was so painful I was screaming, I did think it would be painful no surgery is easy but I didn't think it would be like this. Currently I am in the hospital er room waiting for results on an ultrasound of my legs to make sure I don't have a blood clot:(

I don't feel hunger at all and I am down 18lbs since my starting weight

Great! The pain was probably from dehydration or a potassium or magnesium deficiency. Try drinking something with electrolytes.
