I was sleeved on the 14th and mine does not hurt anymore. I have walked, walked, and walked. Feel fortunate.

Walk, walk, walk, and then walk some more. Try raising your arms straight up over your head. That seems to help also.

My nut says no Ensure.

I am Oct. 14..Tomorrow! Would love to share experiences with you....

I am Oct 14. Also nervous....

Your thoughts on time off work certainly will come into play when making my decision.

LOL!!! Happy for you!

Hi, I am from the Hurricane, WV area. I am going through St. Marys WLC with Dr. Robarts as my surgeon. I have not had surgery yet, but am close. I have jumped through the hoops. Just waiting on a medical situation to be resolved and ins. submission. Hoping for October surgery. Would love to follow your journey with you.

Good luck! Can't wait to hear about your experience....

Good luck!!! Let us know how things go.

OMG!!!! I just looked at your pics. Hurts me so bad. You are one tough woman....

My nutritionalist says alcohol, carbonated or surgary beverages, and caffeinated beverages are a forever no no....

This is the first I heard of a morphine pump.. I think this will be my best friend. This was great info. Still not sure of what will be happening after surgery. Your input will be nice to hear if you have time....

Brighteyes I am in the same place you are right now. Same questions. I know I will lose, but I also know I love to eat and this will be hard. Aiming for October also. Keep in touch...

I think your post should encourage a lot of people. Thanks!

Would not expect that to happen. I am pre-op. Thought they took the part of the stomach that asks for food. Hang in there. I know it will be worth it.....

My nutritionist said no soda period. The carbonation stretches your stomach back out.

Congratulations on your new journey! I am pre-op and nervous. Tell me more of your after surgery feelings....

This is discouraging for you I am sure and not what I would expect either. I am pre-op and was hoping for more dramatic results. What does your Dr say?

I am pre-surgery. I thought I would have more energy after surgery and weight loss.

I have 2 of my 3 required nutrition classes behind me and my psych eval so far. I am anxious and nervous all at the same time. I would like any pre surgery advice and after surgery sharing that you guys can give me. Thanks!
