Too cool. I am going to banded on the 3rd too. I was to be may 29th, until I got an infection in my jaw. Are you on a pre-op diet?

Day before pre-op I was ordered to Clear liquids only. Not a problem but I did leak a little on surgery day.

Post op day 3 and I'm doing fine. No pain meds needed since yesterday morning.

That is great about the no pain. I am sore like I did 500 situps and a pain in my sternum through to my back that sometimes gets severe. I am still taking my pain meds.

Had some gas pain last night that was pretty uncomfortable, but this morning feeling good and ...dare I say, skinnier?

I long for mushy food, but only liquid Protein shakes till Friday.

Funny what my head is doing, I'll think - it's time to make a sandwich! Then I remember I'm banded, and go sip some Water instead.

I think that is what they call head hunger. :thumbup:

I am kind of scared. I can't get all of my shakes in. I am down 23 lbs and 11 of those are since the 4th. I feel ok. I have been up and gone every evening. I just don't want to be losing my hair or some silly thing. When you say gas pain is it in between your breast through to your back? I am glad you are feeling well.

Are you sure your liver will shrink doing your own thing? I know my Dr. said if my liver wasn't small enough held sew me back up without the band. I wasnlt willing to gamble. Even if yours would still do it, he could slice your liver if it isn't able to be folded over like a pancake could be. Big gamble for the most important day of your NEW life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
