I was sleeves 10/1/14 and still have to take omeprozale daily. I feel dependent on it at this point. Anyone else dealing with the same thing? I never had issues with GERD until I had surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg I was freaking... Especially once I got into the operation room...it got terribly real then lol. But I just kept telling myself that I'll be asleep and I'll wake up in no time all finished. I think some caution is healthy, it's major surgery and life changing.

Stopped taking pain meds day 5... Day 4 I was walking around department stores with my sister

Goodness it's so discouraging. Every day I wake up thinking maybe today is the day the scale will change and ...nope 282. I'm almost as sick of 282 as I am with protein drinks lol

I had my gastric sleeve surgery 10/1 and went from 296 to 282 by the one week doctor's visit on 10/9. Now I'm stuck there. I'll be three weeks post op on tuesday and the scale is not budging... no matter what. I've been on full liquids, and will start soft foods this weekend. I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've heard of the three week stall, but never the one week stall. Am i doing something wrong? How am i not losing weight only eating a small amount and liquids at that.

I took off exactly two weeks, and honestly I was pain free around day 4 - 5. I did have low energy though, so it was nice to be home focusing on my water intake which is a full time job in itself. When I did go back to work, the hardest part was and still is my commute. The hustle and bustle of the NYC commute is just exhausting for me, but that's the worst part.

An update, had my surgery Oct 1st. Went well, with no complications. Right now I'm home 7 days post op. My incisions are doing well, not causing me any pain other then when I bend over. I was driving 5 days post op, and also stopped taking my pain meds 5 days post op. I've been out window shopping in the mall, just for the walking really and to get out the house. The most daunting thing is still being on Clear liquids, which hopefully will change when I see my nut and surgeon Thursday. How are all the other new sleeves doing?

Hmmm very interesting. Thank you for your response. Hopefully I can move on to some more options soon because clear liquids is killing me slowly

Oh and potatoes...

The soup had chicken pumpkin, celery, carrots, peppers... Nothing bad by any means and I strained it out. Do you guys think my stomach didn't agree with that or there's something else going on?

7 days post op today. I am supposed to be on Clear liquids until I see my doctor (Thursday).. However I was super tired of my four options (Water, broth, sf Jello and Protein shakes) so I thought I would step out the box and strain some of my moms chicken Soup. After I drank it maybe 20 minutes, I felt my vision go fuzzy (I could see but there was "noise" in my vision) and my head began to hurt. I took my pain meds and took my blood pressure which read normal. Anyone else have this happen before? I'm wondering if this is my body telling me something in the soup, I'm not ready for yet. Any thoughts? How does your body react?

I'm October 1st too, I wanna be buddies... You too MelissaY. I'm so nervous and anxious. It's unreal. Stay in touch ladies

My surgeon wants me to be 275 from 318 before my oct. 1st date. I think that's pretty impossible, so I'm wondering what everyone's preop weight loss was. First two weeks I was down 11lbs, now I am down another 7lbs. So I'm at 300. Is this even possible to be 275 before surgery? I'm worried that I will have to push my surgery back and I really don't want to. ????

You right.. The first few days are the toughest. Now it's not so bad and much easier to stick to. I have more energy and it's nice being full without that "too full heavy" feeling. So far, down 6lbs in 4 days! I'll keep you guys postes
