I had mine Nov 7 too! How are you feeling? I am feeling pretty nauseous still 🤢.

I'm feeling pretty good. No nausea. I'm drinking tons of Water and taking my pills. Only thing I don't like is giving myself blood thinner injections. Haha.

One week out and feeling much better. I too, am already tired of the shakes. It’s tough to get the Water in as well! I go tomorrow to have my staples removed.
How much time do you guys have off of work?

I don’t have any staples. They used a kind a glue. I think it will fall off. I have more troubled drinking the shakes then Water. I have until nov 22nd during my post surgery appointment for now. Doctor gave me a note for 4 weeks. My work kind of freaked out. What kind of Vitamins are you using?

I went back to work today. It was a bit tiring but doable. :)

As for Vitamins, I was told not to worry about them for the first couple weeks as I'm on liquids. Same with Protein. Just try not to get dehydrated. I think I'm going to try the 3+3 vitamins. They have everything you need, including both Calcium and Iron as they use a form of calcium that doesn't bind to the iron. You take 3 pills in the morning and 3 in the evening, they apparently taste like sweet tarts. They're a bit pricey, being around $60 CAD a month... but if it means I don't have to take 5 different types of vitamins, it may be worth it.

Hi there

I was also sleeved Nov 7th

I'm doing alot better now but day 2, 4 and 7 were the worst with pain and hitting the wall in regards to energy level. I'm still not hungry but getting a comfortable nights sleep doesn't exist anymore.

I have lost about 10 lbs since surgery, 20 total since starting pre -op. I am taking a medication to prevent gallstones and just read that the primary side effect is weight gain [emoji15]. So, I am feeling like taking the medication is counter productive, but I also don’t want gallstones too! Frustrating to say the least. I don’t each much in the run of a day and am really struggling with the Water daily but am trying. I managed to get up to 4000 steps total yesterday. Each day I slowly start to feel a little better. Congrats on the weight loss everyone!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
