I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

Getting so frustrated. 3.5 weeks out and haven’t lost anything since the first week.

Yes it is so frustrating when that happens! That was happing to me and I started drinking lots of water in between meals and it has helped me start up my weight loss again..so keep the faith it will all be worth it. Also exercising will really help too!

Does anyone else’s feeling of needing to pee gone away after surgery I’m 5 days out and I have to remind my self to pee cause my body doesn’t feel the need to

OMG Yes! I thought I was the only one. I was going to call my Dr in the morning. I'm 8 days post-op

How much water are you drinking? I feel like either I do really well with the protein or really well with water. But not both.

I’m 8 days out lost 8 lbs I haven’t had to pee much but I suppose it’s my water intake I’ve only been able to drink about 8oz I am only able to take 4oz of soup & 4oz of protein I get full hitting my 4oz ..

It’s hard to do both water and protein drinks I know but I try to drink2 to 3 32 oz cups through out the day as well as my protein drinks..I wasn’t drinking enough water as what my Dct told me...I carry a big thing of water with me everywhere I go!

How’s everyone feeling. I was sleeved 2/15. I’m down 2 sizes and feel like I can take in more water today than even this morning. I just had 12 oz of water in about 1 hour when before that would take several. Anyone struggling with purée (current stage) Or liquids are you starting to feel a little better ?

Sleeved 2/27 and I drunk a 16oz bottle of water within a hour and a half so things are getting better

8 days post op. This is TMI but I managed to poop today for the first time after surgery! I am so relieved. It was firm but it wasn't hard to pass. I don't even know how I managed to do so when all I've been having is broth, herbal tea, fat free greek yogurt, and water.

I am not hydrating as well as I should though, I think I get in 30-35 oz of water a day. My doctor recommended 65 oz at least. I am hoping other liquids count.

I hope all went well with your surgery yesterday! Welcome to the formally banded club. It feels good to finally have the port removed.

Surgery had a few complications. While in recovery started to bleed internally. They had to rush me back in to surgery and fix the problem. Finally recuperating. It’s been a rough two weeks. I feel very lucky to be alive. While in hospital they pumped me up with 25lbs of fluid. So since my release I’ve lost 35 lbs. mostly all that fluid they pumped in me. Have lost10 lbs in 2 weeks of my regular weight.

We are twins I am 13th too there are a lot of 12 13 14 on here my swelling goes down when I rest but I swell back up through the day

So, has any early February sleevers had a stall or slow loss yet? I've lost only 5 pounds in almost two weeks time. CW: 212. I did transistors to pureed foods and definitely full after 4oz. Struggling with liquids throughout the day.

Yep i heard its typical i had it on the third week and it finally broke

Day 10 post op, and my incision FINALLY stopped hurting! I couldn't be happier.

Yesterday I went to a family gathering and I brought my broth and yogurt with me and surprisingly it went okay. I thought I had mad cravings big time because I kept looking at recipes and my insane cookbook collection and dying for a bite... but when the food was there in front of me I didn't really want it (not that I could have it). I sat with them for tea and talked and didn't miss out at all.

One interesting thing though, I was definitely a dessert person pre-op.. I mean, I was a recipe developer and baker (I baked 3 layer gourmet cakes every weekend lol), but now I don't even have the slightest craving for something sweet :/ The only thing junky I craved was... chips LOL mom is a tiny person who loves chips to this day, and that's the only thing I really craved. I don't know if it'll last or not but I can't tolerate anything sweet anymore. I used to use a tiny bit of stevia in my tea and now even that tiny bit is too sweet.

Oh, I'm down 18 pounds since surgery!
