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

FWIW- I asked my dr the reason behind not using straws. He said that the air you pull in before the liquid creates gas in the pouch. This causes unwanted pressure.

Some shakes are off limits for me. The premade has different compositions because of its ability to stay on shelves longer. Also some have artificial sweeteners

Thank you. Those are all things I need to hear, today and probably in 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks and more. I have spent my whole life focusing on the pounds and should have been doing all those things you just said. Great support system, thank you again, and of course I'll keep you updated.

Good Luck !!!! it's 10:15 and you probably in prep right now feeling nervous and excited too or maybe you already saw the anesthesiologist and not feeling nothing lol....anyway just wanted to say im sending up prayer for you if you accept....reach me later if you feel like it... You got this...……….

Hi :) I had my sleeve on the 25th of November. Everything is new. I’m having trouble with water. I think I’m not drinking enough. I feel weird inside. Maybe it’s because I’ve never suffered from indigestion or heartburn so I don’t know... I started my medication so hopefully this gets better.

I had my surgery yesterday, and I can relate. I did have a little heartburn before, but this feels really different. Its almost like I can feel everything I drink through the middle of my back.

All set for tomorrow ! Super nervous I feel like I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight ?

@Deseree5 I noticed that you only lost 7 lbs during your preop diet... That's what happened to me too. Also, now that I'm home from surgery 2 days ago I have gained 2 lbs of that 7 back. Just curious to know if your weight loss picked up or if you are still slow losing?

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.

@HappyHikerGal I'm two days post-op now and I'm still 3 lbs more than my surgery weight. Very depressing to go through the pre-op diet and only lose 7 lbs in two weeks, thank again 4 of those 7 lbs back post surgery. How are you doing now? Have you started lose yet?

I have, yay! Today I am 11 days post op and 10 pounds under my surgery weight. When the scale started moving, I was so happy to finally be in the weight loss honeymoon. I will try to be equally patient when I hit the week 3 stall [emoji23] . Anyway I feel like everything I worked so hard for in the pre- op and operation experience has arrived!
