Yes, after the first month you'll feel better. After my first month i felt somewhat back to normal. The sleeve takes some getting use to, make sure u follow ur surgeons instructions on what foods u can & can't eat. Good Luck to u!

Good Luck!!!!

Thanks. I wish u all great success in your journey as well. @MinaT that's great you're exercising, I haven't started yet, I keep procrastinating about going to the gym.

My starting weight was 340 lbs & as of today aug. 8th, I weigh 294.8. I haven't been under 300 in at least 9 yrs, & it feels so goooood. Besides having my kids this surgery is the best thing that has happened in my life. Having this surgery, took awhile to adjust, but I thank God for it. I feel like I got my life back.

I've been sleeved since june 4th & so far I've lost 25lbs. I'm happy to be loosing weight, but at the same time I'm missing food. After 3 bites I'm done, I can't eat anymore & sometimes it makes me so mad, because the food tastes so good.

I'm going through it now. I was sleeved june 4th & ever since I've started foods I've been constipated. This is such a miserable feeling, I'm taking colace as well & nothing yet.

Aww, sorry to hear that, hope u feel better soon. Congrats on ur WL!!!!

LOL!!! Heck yeah, I can't wait either

What purees yall gonna have?

To be honest with you, I drank fluids all day. I take my tall smart water bottle everywhere I go.

Thanks

My surgery was June 4th & I can't believe I lost 18lbs in one week

Congrats!!! I went through the same thing when I came home. My surgeon prescribed me prilosec, & it has helped me. I have also been taking mylanta, that gas x didn't work for me either.

Dr. Roslin was mine, you're in good hands they take great care of their pts. The hospital even called me today to ask me how I was, & if I enjoyed my stay. I feel great!!!

I was sleeved at Lenox Hill June 4th, best Hospital by far.

Congrats!!! I'm gonna tell u the truth, my eyes wondered.

Totally forgot to sip & took a gulp of water...lol

Lol!!

To be honest with you I did have regrets the day after surgery, because this was something new for me. But now I have no regrets because I see some changes with my body, I walked today & didn't get tired or my back didn't hurt and......I can reach body parts that I had trouble reaching, lol

Lol!

I drove my truck today, it felt so dang gon good. I didn't feel uncomfortable, I don't know how to describe it, it just felt different. when I stopped at my job today, my co-workers even say I look different already & my surgery was just Monday.

Besides the serious heartburn & gas pain, I can say I'm feeling good. Each day I'm getting better.

I will be totally honest, having this surgery is very big, this is something u really need to think about. I will admit the very next day I was feeling regret, but each day I'm feeling better. I had my surgery Monday & today I'm having some heartburn & diarrhea, that's nothing compared to the other days. I'm not hungry, I only eat because I have to, to get energy. I can't wait to get over this hurdle.
