Good luck with your surgery!

So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery!

Tomorrow I can start on puree food. Yay! I've been copying ideas from the posts I'm reading. Its been a great help. The Mexican fare sounds the best right now. Send any food ideas!

Hi, I was sleeved March 22nd. I am feeling pretty good. Seems like each morning i truly feel stronger and can tolerate everything i eat or drink better. One thing i am having a very hard time with is the chewable vitamins. They are so sickening sweet that it makes me almost gag. Never thought i would say something was too sweet, but i can see how my taste buds have changed. Still having a hard time getting in all the water. Seems to want to get a bit stuck going down. Looking forward to the scale for the first time. I have started walking. Thank you Spring! This week i will be going to the gym at the medical center to see what i can begin doing. For me, adding daily exercize really made weight loss successful. Watching my family enjoy regular food right now is also hard for me. Love hearing everyone's stories!

Hi. I had surgery on March 22nd. I am physically healing well with very little discomfort. But I'm hungry! I can't wait to get to the puree stage. I am definitely noticing a change in the taste of food. I am also craving every food commercial on TV. I read about of posts on here and feel like i have great company and a lot of good ideas. This is a great support tool! More to come soon
