Well, after almost a year of waiting, I was finally sleeved yesterday! Because I have sleep apnea I had to stay one night in the surgical center and am home today.

I am surprised at how good and normal I feel! Certainly there is pain, but not what I was expecting. I can drink Water and Isopure with ease and am going to have some powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth later today.

i want to give a big thank you to this forum and all the post-op folks that have taken time to answer questions and tell their own stories!

Feeling super excited and positive, I cant wait for these first few weeks to pass!

I was sleeved on August 17th. I started my journey at 227 lbs. I am now 176 lbs. just two months post op. I walk six miles a day. My clothes do not fit. I need to buy a winter coat because none that I have fit me. Way too big. I have lost 51 lbs so far. I want to keep going. I'm loving the new me. I am so happy I made the right decision in going through with the surgery. I did my first selfie photo last weekend in the fitting room. I get compliments everyday. I work hard at my diet and exercise. My confidence level has been building up. I just love ME. Thank you for all the support and advice that I have received on this forum. Good luck to everyone. God bless. Speedy recovery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
