Hi = I had surgery 7-10-2014 to start my new life journey. My weight loss goal was 80 pounds and today I hit my half way mark, 40 pounds down. I am about 4 months post op and have had no issues. Life is good!

Hi all it has been awhile since I have been on this site but checking back in. Down 25lbs from surhery date on 7-10-2014. I feel amazing and have had no issues to dates. Still looking for more idea for cooked food (warm meals.) This journey is amazing and my future is so bright. Can't wait for the next 25 lbs. to come off!!!!

Hi, I am 12 days post op and I feel good but I understand what you mean about the stomach gurgling. I am not sure someimes if I am hungry, little gasy orjust healing. No sure if I am also having phantom hunger pains as go to eat and after two bites it goes away.

Congrats! I am post op 12 days and feeling good. So happy did this!

Hi all, today I am 5 days post op and doing great, had no gas or nausea in hospital or since I have been home. Tummy and stomach pain but that is me recoverying. I am really focusing on getting loquids and protiens in and going ok. Stomach gets upset some times but think this is drinking to much at one time or to fast (still learning). Making smoothies with my protien dri today had some refriend Beans and cheese from Taco Bell about 2 ounces. I beleive this is sooner then should but really wanted something with some texture, and so far so good, tummy gurgling a little but think all ok.

I had surgery on Thursday the 10th and home Saturdsy, cathera came out Friday and drainage tube yesterday, feeling preetty good but . good luck yo you all.

Thursday was my sleeve surgery and came home from hopsital yesterday, so today is day 3 or 4? Things going pretty well just making sure to get liquid and protien shakes in. How much liquid and protien are a must day 3-10? Looking forward to no more tummy pain but that will go away as I heal.

Keep in touch and we will take this journey together. Excited but nervous as seen and read many peoples struggles first several weeks but also many great successes first few weeks.
