I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

Sleeved 3rd December. 14lbs down and been back at work a week ???? only issue is I haven't lost anything for a week.....anybody else have this problem? Is it normal to stall already?

@@shelleyhoops I remember this being mentioned from some others and in a preclass I had before. Each week as you move into different phases of eating and life your body will adjust. Don't get frustrated and keep the eye on the prize. It is a marathon and not a sprint and push through those phases! You got this!

Thanks for your reply ???? I was wondering if something had gone wrong and started to wonder if it had all been worth it to be honest! Good to know it's not just me.

Feeling kind of down today, 9 days post op and everything went well but when I step on the scale this morning it said I had gained a # since yesterday.

I think I should avoid the scale for a few days☹️

Mine was on the 14th. It hurts my chest when I take a drink. Not sure if it's the gas or what. And I'm also a bit nauseous and my stomach is very sore. How's everyone doing? I'm struggling to get in enough Water and Protein

totally normal! i felt this way for a whole week and honestly didnt drink anything other than ice chips! im fine and now at a week and two days post op my drinks of choice are broth and milk with peanut butter powder -- it will get way easier even tho it doesnt seem like that now

Scheduled for 12/20. I had a cold two weeks ago. For the past 3 days, I have a dry cough (similar to how my bronchitis started). Is this going to be an issue?

I had a chest cold about a month before my surgery and my cough still lingers. Use your binder if you have one but also hold a pillow a bit tight over your stomach when you cough and it help tremendously!! Good luck with everything

Thank you. I've been doing gas x strips and walking but it's not really getting rid of the gas. It's like a burning, gurgling, gassy type of feelings. Happens whether I take a drink or not. I also had a major hiatal hernia repair as well.

@@MsShortyDee How did you feel with the blood clot.

I have been in pain since the beginning of the second week. I was fine the first 5 days. But have been suffering since. I had a catscan today but the doctor was not in to review. My surgery was Dec 1st.

Everything else is fine... HW:269, SW:263, CW:246!

Hello everyone. I will be sleeved on 12/21/2016. I have mixed feelings and can't sleep. I have so many thoughts running through my mind. I'm sleepy but can't stop thinking about this surgery.

1. Am I going to be in pain?

2. Well I get blood clots?

3. What do I take on the day of surgery?

4.My mouth is already dry from these 2 Protein shakes and chicken and veggies I have been eating. Will I have dry mouth after the surgery?

I mean so many crazy thoughts. Can someone please put my mind at ease. Please tell my what to expect, bring and how to have a smooth safe recovery
