The surgery was much easier than I thought

Hello. I am a 46 year old man. My surgery is April 28. Starting pre-surg diet 4/13. 250 been gaining every since I first made up mind to do surgery. I was down to 218 in June and been having trouble due to some personal issues hoping that I will be able to get pass my current issues with the help of therapy and may even have to go to counseling.

Hello everyone,
Just stopping by to post some before and after pics. I'm still 7 lbs away from goal but I'm totally happy I'm not where I used to be. I give all Glory to God because without Him none of this would be possible. It's been a long journey. My advice to those who are just starting would be to hang in there, your day will come. God Bless you all!!!

Hello I'm Jackie from Michigan and my surgery date is April 28th!!!! Yay!

Jackie we r all in this together. Sending skinny vibes ur way and wishing u much success.

Upon waking severe pain in shoulder, as mentioned that was from the CO2 pumped in. I had a morphine pump that took care of this pain. No catheter, no drainage tube, no bandages, just an IV. I had moderate size hiatal hernia that was repaired too. Was grabbing my IV pole and walking the 1st night. Had considerable amount of gas which walking relieved. Never had pain from incisions or abdomen but I did tire easily for the first 2 weeks. Just showering and washing my hair wore me out.
I was sleeved 03/19 and have lost 20 lbs so the little discomfort I felt was worth it. I'm now on 900 calories a day with no more then 50 grams of carbs. Never did I imagine I'd have a hard time getting in 900 calories.
Go into surgery knowing this is the best decision you can make for a healthier you and never let that thought fade.
Good luck!!
