To all of the new sleevers Welcome!

[BarbaraParks]

I know lots of you have just been sleeved. I know it's tough in the beginning. The most important part for me was to get enough fluids. I had a hard time drinking enough. And subsequently ended up with a urinary tract infection 3 times. So please sip, sip, sip.
It gets easier.
Lots of times I thought I was hungry but I was really thirsty.

Good luck and God bless you on your journey!

Enjoy the ride. This is where you will SMOKE OFF the weight!

I am 5 months post op and I was just put in the hospita 2 weeks ago for 3 days with an infection in my kidneys and bladder. It started off with a UTI so please listen to your body. My sides of my back started hurting 2 weeks prior but I just chalked it up to sleeping funny exercising to much and etc. I had never had a UTI so I didn't know what they felt like. I was peeing blood within 4 hours of the severe symptoms. After thinking about it the last few days I had not been drinking like I normally do bc I was busy in the pool, running around and just not thinking about about it. Now I have to think about it al day everyday. I write down how many glasses of fluid that I drink a day just to make sure I'm getting enough. It's was not a pleasant experience!
