Hi all

I'm scheduled for surgery May 1, 2017 and wondering if there are any fellow May Sleevers out there.

How is everyone doing? Both, pre and post op'ers.

I'm 12 days post op and today is the first day I am starting to feel more like myself. The only issue I'm having is that I'm hungry -- a lot; not head hunger, but physical hunger. I'm going to contact the Drs. office on Monday and see what they tell me.

I am 8 days out and i too have been hungry. I told my np to my surgeon and she said at least for me it is my digest track is waking up and makes my stomach sound like i am hungry. I get that but i think it is more than that. I had during the week started pureed because i felt like i was starving. She said that was fine since the guidelines are guidelines and if you can tolorate the next phase it was fine. Everybody is different when it comes to the healing process. I am definitely curious in what your doc says.

6 days post-opt and I am done 30 pounds since starting my liquid pre-opt one week before surgery

That is awesome tbthomas. Keep it up sounds like you r doing really well

Anyone else exhausted? I'm on day 4 and just completely spent. Can get up and get one thing accomplished (shower/load of laundry) and then its back to bed, wiped out. Is this normal? How long does it last? Thanks all!

I was sleeved May 1!

did you have an appointment with your surgeon yet??? Im 4 weeks out and doing great. How ever told you the first year is hell is wrong. With that said, for me its hard because im eating a limited amout and kinds of food. Sounds like to me ypu have not had any appointments with the doc, nutritionist nurse, etc yet. Dont listen to nay sayers. Everyone is different. Some people have a harder time than others, however Ive never hear the 1st yesr is hell. A year out you more than likely can eat most all foods but in a smaller quanity.

Yes, I have had all of my appointments with the surgeon and also the dietitian. I also had 10 group meetings, along with a lot of other appointments. I have just heard that it is different for everyone. And most discussions are about people whom have had the RNY instead of the sleeve. I just thought that some people on here might be able to give me some sort of idea ahead of time to ease my anxiety a little. Thank you for sharing your experience with me.

I was sleeved on May 8!

I just got my date 5-31, I'm excited and nervous at the same time

I'm 14 days post op and I start feeling nauseous anytime I get my heart rate up. Doing house work or even when I go for my walks. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'd start a new thread asking about this.

I am 9 days out and still tire easily. I went to the grocery store for some soup today and filled up the tank for my husband. By the time I got home my side was hurting and I felt like I ran a marathon. Go easy...your body needs time to heal. ?

I was sleeved on may 16th

May 12 for me

I lost 48lbs before surgery in 5 mo

Down 57 lbs now all together

On surgery day May 8th I was 246. On May 10th I was 256. The water retention was not fun.

This am i weighed in at 237

I'm 2 days pot op. The gas pain is real, guys. My incision sites are fine, just slightly painful. I'm trying my best to get the gas out, but I'm so lethargic, I can only stand for a few minutes at a time. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start protein, so wish me luck. I'm having a hard time getting in my clear fluids as it is.

I haven't weighed myself yet, our scale is up stairs and I'm no ready to take on steps yet.
