I had my f/u appointment today. I lost a total of 26lbs! Woo-hoo! Still sore, but healing well. To all my fellow sleevers' remain strong. It gets better with time! Good luck!

You are rocking it at 84 lbs lighter!!

Let me first say CONGRATS on pursuing to care for your healthy future! My advice would be to STAY FOCUSED on the true goal/purpose of this operation. No matter what tasks we take on in life there is always a small percentage of the "what ifs". However, there are a great many pros! Stay positive/calm. Your outcome will turn out great like a many of us!

Jessybear!! Good for you! You look gorgeous!! My oldest two children are going to be sleeved sometime by Nov/Dec. 2014!! What an inspiration!

Carissa, Have you called your physician, at this point? Hopefully, you are feeling better. Maybe you felt crappy because of something you ate today. It takes a while to pass. Take it easy on your new tummy. Sounds like you are doing good over all. Remember we had the same date 7/30!!

Thank you Kathy!

Hi everyone I have been low key about myself since my sleeve, on July 30th. Surgery day was awesome. In/out surgery 1 hour 1/2 total. Truly, I had some difficulties for the first couple of nights. But was released to go home this past Saturday. Besides being sore (norm) the incision areas are "itchy" & healing well. Family is helping. But nothing like mommas' help around the house. I am well on my way now! Woo-hoo!!

Glad you feel better and at home now!

Koofka, Sorry that you had to experience such pain. Glad to know that it has now been resolved with the removal of the gallbladder. Continue to heal!! Also, "Thank you" for sharing with us.

Why not call your on call nurse and ask? Or til tomorrow when you get there? Try not to go without the green light from your doctor. Good luck!

Glad your doing better for discharge. Continue getting better!

Sorry SeanPartial of this is in response to Sassy pants....work with me...It must be the nerves (all smiles)!

Hey Sean,I was surprised at myself...I completed the liquid diet!! And you can too! Was not easy, but CAN be accomplished. Well, in just about 4 hours from now, I will be rolling into surgery!! Send a quick prayer up for me..we are all on this journey together. I will check in with you soon!! Best wishes!

Carissa, Tomorrow is my "big day",as well!! Best wishes to you!!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!

Simply an AWESOME post! Good work!

Sean, I feel the same way. My surgery is on this Wednesday morning. I have been on a liquid diet for a week and it has been a bummer!! Lucky you..at least you had applesauce, etc. I had to remain "busy" to keep my mind (stomach) off of food. By the time I looked up it was time for my next meal. Hang in there you can do it!!

Glad your surgery was a success! ! Pray for speedy recovery.

Congrats Jack!!
