April Sleevers

[NMlorena 7]

Mine was yesterday, April 23rd. The night was rough due to some trapped air but mostly goes away by walking and sippin on some Water.

The first few days to a week are rough! Take it slow, follow your surgeons plan (most likely sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk) and give your bodies time to heal . You’ve been through a lot but it’s SO worth it!! Congratulations and welcome to the Losers Bench 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My sleeve was April 4. I dropped weight the first week but have not lost any in the past 10 days. A pound down, a pound up. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am right there with you! Surgery date was 4/11. I’ve gone from 252 day of surgery to 236 this past Sunday and haven’t dropped anything since. I’m getting a little concerned since I thought this first month was supposed to be the most and then it slows down in like 3-4 months.

I started my period the day of my surgery. So the entire time I was in the hospital I was bleeding really heavily, the pain was unbearable even with medicine. I couldn't do any walking because I would almost pass out every time I tried to stand up. I could hardly make it to the commode to go to the bathroom. I couldn't wipe myself. I bled everywhere. It's been 11 days and I am doing better, but there was a point there at the beginning that I didnt know how I was going to get through it.

Ugh, I just started mine today and my surgery is tomorrow! I was worrying about the same thing about wiping and being able to change tampons. Sorry to hear you had a rough start.

[KimB7811 115]

I’m going in tomorrow, the 25th!!!

Thanks!! Everyday is a little easier but that trapped air, and Water intake are the toughest hurdles.

Keep consistently moving forward even if baby steps, it does eventually smooth and straighten out to your benefit. Make that banana pouch your friebd, you are together forever!

3 days post op! How is everyones recovery journey? Have a little discomfort when eating but I think thats normal at this stage. Worried about how little Water I am drinking, sipping all day but hardly getting more than 2 glasses. Should I be concerned?
