hey all,
hope you're doing well. had my sleeve on Nov 7th, resting at home now. really looking forward to the rest of this journey!

I too had mine Nov. 7

I had my sleeve on Nov. 3rd. I'm currently a week out and feeling good. Only down a couple of pounds. I know everyone loses at different rates, but it's still kind of disappointing. I'm sure as the weeks go on, it will be a different story. I did drop 20 pounds the month before surgery, which is awesome. Still a little tired. Bored at home for sure. Can't wait until my first post op appointment next week to get clearance to do more stuff.

Hello sockigal. Congratulations. I had my sleeve on the 7th. My surgeon told me no weighing in for first two weeks.

I had mine on the 8th. I'm home now too. Feels sore but great if that makes sense.. lol

I had 8th too. Home as well a couple hours now. I am getting the worse cramps in my gut. It's like my stomache is siezing up. I've had a few sips of tea, some Jello. My dr has us take a prolisec each day. You open the pill and mix the beads with a bit of applesauce or yogurt and swallow. Well since I did that, my sleeve is cramping up even more.Does this ever go away? I'm prett miserable.

Awesome. How are you feeling about everything?

Surgery on November 2, had minimal pain (the IV helped), Slept for hours post surgery, had to stay an extra day to adjust insulin and medications. I am feeling great, no pain, sipping warm tea, Decaf coffee, and Water all day. Protein Shakes, cottage cheese (small bites at a time)' yogurt. Staying moving as much as I can. This is going well for me. I feel like the weight of the world has lifted off my shoulders. Been a long time coming and prepping, and now it's real. My decision for surgery was for health, with diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis in my hips. My hope for the future is to get mobility back and get healthy.

update after I left the hospital things took a turn for the worst for me. Gas Gas Gas what can I say I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. And the site where they pulled my stomach through is the worst. Wtf my body hates me.

I went through that the day after surgery. My incision where they took my stomach out hurts too. from what I've learned most of us will hurt there for a while... at least 6 weeks.

I just hope it keeps getting better each day

How is everyone doing with their fluids? I'm struggling. I've only gotten about 10 oz in so far any tips?

I'm fixing to have my 2nd Protein Drink of the day. Fluids have staying down okay. I added some MIO flavour Water and that makes my stomach happy.

I will say that it takes me a while to get everything drank because I have to wait a minute for beatrice (what I named my new tool) to take what I give her and work with it to send it down the line.

HAHA! I love that you named your new sleeve Beatrice. I need to think of a name and talk nicer to her. Cuz she is giving me fits today! I think my Protein drink this morning was just too much lactose. I waited and waited and now that the rest of me is bloated with the lactose gas, I took a lactose pill. I'm struggling with protein AND Water today. I usually only drink water, but my new stomach HATES water! So I'm going to try to do a Vitamin water. I need the Vitamins anyways. I've only gotten in 28 ozs of fluids. The struggle is real
