Thinking of you today, very excited for you!! Look forward to chatting with you once you are back home and on the mend. One thing I can tell you, is each day it gets better.

I am 1 week post-op today and feel pretty good, but not sure I could host a Thanksgiving dinner. Just this morning, I was tired after doing my hair! Lol. I am so happy that I had the surgery and just heading to my 1 week follow up appt. best of luck to you!!

Hi everyone!! I am new to the site and was sleeved on 11/4. I am down 11lbs and feeling pretty good. I still have some small cramping pains and difficulty sleeping at night, but overall can't complain. My Dr still has me on a clear liquid diet for the 1st week and Monday I go for a 1 week post-op check up and will advance to a full liquid diet, so looking forward to that! I like reading everyone's posts, as it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I had my surgery in Minnesota, at Park Nicolette, they have a fabulous team to work with. Very excited for my new beginnings. Look forward reading your posts and chatting with everyone!!

Hi, that is a question I had to, but being a type 2 diabetic and on bp meds, I had to do something other than the yo yo diets I had been on for many years. My family Dr. had been suggesting surgery for several years and finally this past February I got serious about it when I started experiencing numbness in my hands and feet! I had surgery just this Monday, nov 4th and I am off my bp and diabetic meds!! It's such a great feeling and I am down 9lbs already. You are making the right decision. I wish you the best and if there's any questions I would be happy to answer if I can. Best of luck to you!!

I had my surgery on nov 4th too, but my Dr. still has me on a clear liquid diet. I won't start full liquids until 1 week post op. Reading these post are very informative. Hope your spirits get lifted soon, as you have made a great decision with the surgery!!

You look fabulous!!

Way to go!!! I am just 5 days post-op and am down 9 lbs. very exciting times for us!! Keep up the great work.

Hi Sissy,

I wish you the best on Tuesday!! I just had surgery on Monday 11/4/13 and like you was very nervous and excited. I was on oral meds for diabetes and bp and am no longer taking the diabetes meds and will be off bp meds soon. Will keep in touch.

Just had surgery on Monday, November 4, 2013. The morning of the surgery I weighted in at 212 lbs and got on the scale this morning and was down 6 lbs!! I am on a clear liquid diet for a week and then 11/7 meet with the bariatric nurse and if all goes well will move onto the full liquid stage. I look forward to using this site as a support system; as well as, a reference site for suggestions and recipes. I was a type 2 diabetic taking oral meds. But no loner am taking them and hope to be off my bp meds as we'll soon. Very excited newbie!!!
