Honestly, everyone has different experiences! But honestly I have had the ideal recovery this past week! So not everyone has bad experiences! I thought fr certain something would go wrong and almost backed out several times!!! But everyday i wake up I thank God for giving me strength to follow through! You can do this! It's worth every second!

Yay!!!! That tube was terrible!!!!! I thought I was gonna punch that poor girl in the head when she took it out!!! So glad your doing well!! I go back aug 19th! Have u stepped on the scale yet?? I'm down 9lbs just from surgery! Woot woot!! How was everything else?? I'm struggling with hunger right now! but I hear it gets better when u can move onto puréed!

3 days! I had the best experience!

Good luck!!!! My thoughts are with you!!!!!

Prayers and speedy recovery wishes to all the sleevers today!!!! One week ago today I was sitting in the preop holding room!!! So thankful!

Yes I'm a Debbie downer tonight

Well today I am struggling. Surgery was a breeze and hospital stay easy as pie. I have has little to no pain and little to no nausea. Ideal patient you say? Well I have been really struggling with hunger! Not enough protein? I thought 80 g would do! Head hunger!? Maybe? Plus is that I'm down 22 lbs! I know this will pass once i move on to puréed! These liquids are getting boring! Ugh!

You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow!!!! You got this!!!! Prayers and hugs your way!!! Keep us posted!!!!

Yay!!!! So glad your doing well!!! I stayed 3 days and honestly no one could believe how great I was doing!!! Walking does help the gas!!! I thought getting my drain tube out was the worst part!!!! I thought I was gonna punch the poor girl in the gut!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!! 18lbs is amazing!!!!!!!! I'm down 22 so far!!!! From the start of my preop diet to now of course!!!!! Get some sleep but stay in touch!!!! We're in this journey together!!! Yay!!!

I will tell you the head hunger never goes away. I just keep reminding myself that I did this for a reason and that the head hunger will only be temporary! It will get better! The shakes are the worst part but small sacrifices for large gains remember!

Been thinking about ya!? Hope all is well haven't heard from you yet! Please keep us updated!

Hey Tina! Nope I was discharged Saturday! How about yourself? I tried to walk to much today and was hurting all night so just been hanging out in bed since I had it done! How you feeling?!?

See mine were freakig me out too!!! My entire body itches?!? Is it the pain meds???

yeh I had to do the liquid diet. Honestly it is not that bad! You will be fine! I was SO worked up for this surgery. I cried the entire time before my surgery....I cried to my nurse....I cried to the anesthesiologist....I cried to my surgeon....and honestly....I was up and walking 2 hours after surgery. I am sore yes....but not AT ALL like I thought it would be! The pre diet gets easier after a couple of days and the liquid diet after surgery is completely supported by the hospital staff so they make it super easy! You will do great! IN my thoughts1

Feeling ok today! Only 4days preop and I am doing good! Worst part of this entire experience....getting the drain tube out!!! Omg! That was absolutely terrible! Other then that....it's been a breeze! Thought tis would be way way worse....of course you have head hunger but that is mind over matter and with great support you will get through! All the aug 5th folks are in my thoughts and prayers! You got this!!!!
