    Re: How much pain after sleeve.

    First few days there is some pain, but mine was managed with pain medicine. After that, I had some pain when I moved, but it wasn't too bad. 6 months out I can hardly remember the pain. I'd do it...

    Re: pre surgery

    You're doing great. Don't get discouraged. I've been in a stall for a month on the scale, but the inches are coming off like crazy.

    The cappuccino flavor is better than the fuzzy navel and mixes up better. Not as sweet as most shakes. I ate a lot of the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. (Blended). The unjury chicken broth protein...

    Re: Extreme fatigue

    Are you drinking enough water. How about your blood pressure -- is it too low now? What is your doctor saying?

    Re: what's wrong with me? Anxiety/panic attacks?

    I think many on here are thinking about that we all had that " OMG, what did I just do" moment after we had surgery. The pain meds, coming off of anesthesia, concentrating on fluids and protein, the...

    Re: I'm ready to exercise!

    I didn't do weights until 6 weeks. I started out with walking and after 5 weeks did the stationary bike. At 4 months I can do about anything now as far as yoga classes, Zumba, aqua aerobics, etc....

    Re: A few questions about the sleeve surgery

    I think it all depends on your insurance and if you have co health issues ( high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc). If you are working with a doctor now, I'd think you'd be locked in, but you should...

    Re: when does it end?/

    Mine started coming out in clumps at 2 1/2 months. My dermatologist said not much helps except the shampoo treatments, but you have to use them twice a day. I always took the right amount of calcium...

    Re: Now or Later? Work...HELP!

    With the moving in September, I would wait. You shouldn't be lifting much until at least 4 - 6 weeks. Can you schedule the surgery for the first of October?

    Most of us questioned our decision to have this surgery at least once. It is normal. I am 2 months out and I can say that I'm lucky and can eat about anything that is on my list. I don't feel...

    Re: New to site and surgery

    Each day gets better. Hang in there! First week is the hardest. Try different temperatures of your fluids. I found warm caffeine-free tea went down pretty well and chicken broth.
