Hey Ladies. U went to my follow up appointment today. I am down 20lbs since pre op. 10 before surgery and 10 after. I'm happy with that. I start Protein Shakes on Mon. Will be glad to graduate from broth. Lol

Im in shock. She inboxed me several days ago. We talked about the loss of our children and attending the support groups in our area. Oh my im so saddened that she lost her battle. Ladies pray for each other and keep each other in your prayers.

Sorry it took so long to respond. Everything went great. Initially there were concerns regarding my cold, but my surgeon agreed it would be safe to proceed. Recovery has been a beast with the nausea and congestion and I'm just now staying awake long enough to communicate intelligently. LOL. Thanks so much for the prayers and support. I think the first 24 hours after were the hardest, but every few hours I feel better and better.

Hope all if the surgeries today go well

I'm one day away from sitting on the LOSERS BENCH!! liquid diet all day. Should be getting the call for surgery time soon. To all those taking that step to a better lifestyle Good luck today!

My neighborhood has a lot of streets and there is a circle where I can make a loop and its about 0.75 mile. "Loop"
So I walk to the end of 67th street; take a left on 129th; take a left on 69th then another left on 128th. Then I walk down 128th until it veers left back onto 67th street where my house is.

I think its head hunger as well. I am not hungry but I definitely want something other than what im eating. Im still on Clear Liquids. I would be happy on fulls about now. Lol

Praying for yiu ladies in the morning! A smooth surgery and a easy recovery!
No one told me anything about polish. I didnt have any on my fingers but my toes were polished.

Today it seems like there is a lot of gas pressure right under my rib cage. I can feel it gurgling in there and rising up through my tummy. I keep trying to burp it out. And oh Yah; I'm down 7 lbs since the surgery!! Whoo hoo.
I have been walking three times a day for 20 minutes each time and I'm wondering if that's what is making all the gas come out.
Oh ya and my last pee was lighter yellow instead of dark yellow! WIN!!

I still have the poots. I just apologize and keep it moving. Lol

Yes. It could be the desire to eat is gine because all we are doing is sipping. Lol. I do love my popsicles though.

Stephanie I know how you feel. My friend had a lot of negativity when she had it done. Now some of those same people are asking her about the sleeve. I chose to keep my surgery to my self. Hubby my mom aunt and a few close friends are all who know. I plan to keep it that way for a while. This is for me and it's my life.

It seems like all of us this week did awesome! Im proud of us ladies! Cant wait to hear more about our journeys to come.

Im leavung today as well. Apparently my blood work showed I needed potassium so they gave me a iv of that. They also showed me how to do my blood thinner injection. So I will be leavin in a few hours

At my preop appt they told me to take my blood pressure meds with a sip of Water the day of surgery. I ignored that and am so glad I did. I ignored it because I know it's easier to bring high BP down then to raise low BP up. My BP coming out of surgery was 85/47. I normally run 130/90 ish. Before I was discharged my BP was 110/69. The doctor told me not to take the BP meds again.

Hey Everyone. Things went well yesterday. I went to surgery at 10am and was in my room by 2. No complications. I do have gas pains but they are not too bad. I had mt first meal today. broth grape juice SF popsicle and Water. I've only sipped a lil. So far so good. Should be able to go home tomorrow. Praying things go well for you tomorrow.

Im home as well. Feels good to be back in my own bed. Not in too much pain. Im glad of that. Just trying to get my sips in
