well I guess it's time I post something about my journey instead of just looking at all the posts my surgery was 8/22 all went well in terms of the surgery. it took me about 9 hours to come out of the anesthesia but it was my first time going under so now I know!! I had horrible nausea the first two days. my doc gave me 3 doses of reglan and I was so much better and I haven't needed anything else. I'm a little over two weeks out and I feel great. I'm able to get my liquids and Proteins on most days but I really have to try and remember to eat everything I need in a day! I'm going back to work Monday. I've lost 31 lbs so far including pre op diet. I am not going to weigh myself again until my 1 month follow up but my clothes are loose and I notice a difference in my face !! I actually fit into a t shirt that was a size lg. normally I am a 2X so I'm wearing that shirt everyday because it's so amazing lol!!!! My rings are getting loose and I love it! I did get a little discouraged about two days ago when my hands were swollen and I felt bloated then surprise surprise it's my TOM which hasn't happened in 8 months which explains the swelling (and my cravings hahah). it's been a good journey so far. not easy, but good. looking forward to so much more!!!

well I'm only 7 days post op today but I still would do it again. I had a lot of nausea on day 1-2. no real pain just muscle soreness. I've lost 15lbs my first week.

congrats that is awesome!!!!

how much is everyone able to drink now around 4-5 days post op? yesterday I got down about 30oz and 3 sf Popsicles. I felt like that was good but don't know how quickly I should be pushing for the 62 oz fluids.

I'm day 3 too!! def day 1 post op was the WORST!!! so nauseated. but now ive been walking. sipping and taking my sf Popsicles. I found they go down easier than siping water. let's do this together

Gustavo I just laughed my head off imagining that!!!!! heres hoping I have some interesting dreams haha! getting sleeved in 3 days

top weight 260 goal weight 150-160 I'm 5'2 getting sleeved on Wednesday!!!! lost 11lbs in week 1 of pre-op diet

I'm done with week 1 lost 3 lbs. but I cheated :X now on to a new day. I had to postpone my surgery a month so I don't want to do anything else to jeopardize my surgery!!!
