I had the sleeve Thursday and Thursday and Friday were pretty rough, but Saturday I started feeling a lot better.  I didn't take any pain meds at all Saturday, I would say I am sore instead of in pain...... still get the gurgles and burps when I drink so I am sipping very slowly all day long.....

I don't have any gas pain but I am having a little bit of diarreah (Sorry)! and am having a lot of gas and stomach gurgles.......... 

Yesterday I had 2 oz of tomato soup for dinner and tolerated that pretty well, but that is all I have eaten so far. Today I am sipping on a protein shake and skim milk for breakfast and will progress at lunch time.  So far I am down 12 pounds already since Thursday, but I really haven't eaten anything at all so I figured I would lose something!

For the first two days I wasn't sure what I was thinking but now I am feeling better and can see a light at the end of the tunnel!!

Thank you!! Just took a shower and am feeling kind of weak and shaky so I am going to grab a sugar free popsicle and rest for a bit.  I'm so afraid not to keep moving because of blood clots.....I know I need to rest though!

You're doing great! At 3 days I had so much nausea and vomiting that they were pumping fluids into both arms and I gained 9 pounds in 4 days in the hospital from fluid! LOL  That was just 9 more that I had to lose after I got home and it took over a week to do it. But hey it all worked out, they got the nausea and pain stopped and by day 5 I was on the road to recovery. So good to see you doing wonderful! Keep up the fantastic work!!

You are doing great!!!!!!  I was sleeved on the 28th of August and I know what you mean about being shaky after a shower!!!!!!  I am doing great but I forgot and lifted my granddaughter up into my lap a couple of days ago and am I paying for it now.  Tummy is really sore and hard in places.  Not sure why the hard spots but I figure it is just the muscles protesting.....  so for now she will have to climb up here instead.  Love that sweet thing!!!!!!   Owwwwww love my sleeve too!
