Anybody scheduled for March 2019?? I just got my surgery date of March 5th!! So excited. They had the end of February available but because of my job, I had to go with March.

3/12 here. Doing great. Just started eating black bean soup and yogurt and protein drinks yesterday after 3 days clear liquids. I have no pain most of the time. I’m able to do laundry. I get tired easy. I take a few naps now and then. How are you?

Good for you! I’m tired & sore but ok. My doctor only allows calorie free clear liquids and 2 ounces of protein shake three times a day For the first two weeks! It’s getting a little old but I’m down 10 pounds which I think is mostly water weight at this point.

I also am 3/12! Been doing great so far besides today I’ve been struggling a bit! For protein my doctor only allows premier protein...and I hate it! I’m supposed to have 3 a day and I’ve felt nauseous after each one! But part of me thinks that it’s because I hate them so much that I try to drink them fast to get it over with

I’m on premier protein too. Not a big fan either. I don’t think it’s any worse than any of the others it’s just I’m not a fan of the chalkiness and I really do miss chewing LOL

I’m tired of it. I drink it or fairlife Can’t wait for purée.

3/12 sleeve, today has been best day, got down 3 -20 oz Gatorade zeros, 3 -11 oz premier Proteins, 2-17 oz waters, 6 sugar free popsicles and a cup of chicken broth. Slept on my side for the first time, and walked outdoors for a total of 30 mins 3 different times! Oh and I had my first BM!! So excited about that one- hadn’t taken any pain medication since coming home from the hospital, trying to get the train a moving!

I miss chewing too!!! And different flavors ?

It’s only been 4 days but I’m seeing these shakes in my nightmares ?

Found out about this app... my surgery was March 11th

Think I’m in the wrong group I had a roux en y

I’m all set for the 28th!

So, I just had mine on March 12th & I’m wondering how my fellow March 12th comrades are doing???

I’m also 3/12. I’ve been doing okay, real sore though. Not the incisions but the skin around them is what is most sore, I don’t get it. I am having a really hard time drinking more than one protein drink plus all the water I was barely able to get 24oz of water on top of one protein shake. Any suggestions for trying to get more in?

I'm having the same issue....incisions dont hurt but the tissue surrounding the largest one is stabbing pain when I go to sit or stand or bend over...

I am having similar symptoms and I think it’s normal. The incision themselves we’re glued closed And they feel OK but the surrounding skin is all bruised and a bit tender. I was told this is normal. It hurts the most when I bend over or try to tie shoes etc. I’m doing OK with the water but I think only because I’m only allowed to have 6 ounces total of protein a day. The key is just sipping little sips of it constantly. I also got some true lemon and mio Which are water enhancers I just add a little flavor to regular water. They seem to help too

Don't you think it might be nothing more than your skin got stretched when your tummy was pumped full of CO2 when you had your operation. Now although everything else is falling into place your skin just wants to say " What did you think you were doing to me?"
