any one having a sleeve done in nov mine nov 1 I need a buddy to help me along on this journey

I’m 11 days post op. I’m still having pain issues where they removed my lap band port. No walking yet. I can’t believe how much you all are able to walk! I’m having some gi issues. I started mixing my protein powder w sf choc pudding and I get awful cramping and liquid stool about 15 min into eating. It’s been pretty consistent with that food so I’m going to back off of it. Anyone else have that issue?

I don't understand why you aren't able to walk? You do have to use the bathroom right? So that's walking unless you have a catheter connected to you.

It is painful to walk, but I hold my stomach and take very slow steps. I know that walking is what helps your body to heal, and the longer you are staying in bed, that's the longer it's going to take for you to get back in the swing of things. I'm 5 days postop and I do not have any GI issues so far and I'm praying that I won't ever. You need to make yourself walk. I hope you feel better.

Been lurking for awhile. It's going down tomorrow at 10am, so I broke down and created an account. I'm sure I'll be back with questions. It's been great reading other people's experiences. I think I'm ready.

Good luck. My surgery is Wednesday 11-26-19. I'm nervous, anxious, scared and excited all in one!!! Can't wait! READY to DO THIS

I also have not gained or loss since I went in for surgery but I'm not concerned yet about weight.

So happy that I'm not the only one! Well, I was several pounds heavier after surgery and today, 7 days post-op, I'm finally at my surgery weight - lol. But I'm not concerned either. If I've learned anything by reading these boards, it's that if I follow my plan, it will work. I'm also dreaming of the pureed stage. In my program, that happens December 5th.

My surgery is Nov 22nd so excited and nervous at the same time. I was on the 6 month program so the initial excitement wore off but now its different.

Looking for a buddy for this journey someone willing to be my accountability buddy.

My surgery is November 27th. 5 days difference between our dates. I would be happy to be a support system, I need one too

You will be fine. This was my first surgery ever and I was nervous as hell. It will go well for you. Good luck!
