So I had my surgery 1 week ago. I'm down 13 lbs since surgery. Totaling 28lbs since pre op diet. Fitted a top that I could never fit before

Sooooo I'm officially one week post op. I'm down 28 lbs since the journey began. 13 of those lbs since surgery. So excited I fitted into a top with room that once didn't fit me

Thanks @ ToccoraVSG

Congrats...we are so proud of you!

Welcome! This is a great site to get all your questions answered from others whom have gone thru and still are going thru the process.

Before n after pics. Started at 277 n now I'm 129. Had surgery March 19th 2013. No regrets watsoever

Size medium joggers yay me!!!! But I think they are cut big????????????

I'm 5 days post op and haven't defecated since the morning before surgery. Is that normal? Any suggestions on what I should do

Thanks. I'm going to get some. And call my doctor in the morning to confirm but sounds good to me.

Just relax. It is very nerve racking. But be prepared. I was in pain the 1st day. Still in pain 4 days post op. It comes and goes. You're gonna struggle drinking. Which is normal. Just take every day by day literally. In no time you will be "normal" again

I was the 4th as well. I haven't been able to get more than 20-30 grams of Protein in and I'm having trouble getting to 64oz of hydrating fluids. Every day seems a bit better but it's still been rather troubling. If I drink too much too quickly, it hurts. But going slow makes me feel like I'll never reach my goals. Trying to remind myself that we're all different and that it was a major surgery so I need to focus on healing right now. One day at a time!

Thanks! I was nervous. I goggled it and pretty much got the same thing

Just sleeved on Nov 4th. In alot pain and super nauseous. Hope The nausea subsides real soon.

@ jessiquoi thanks so much! @@Lauriep I'm on day 3 too and its so hard to get Protein and Water in. . Urgh I'm trying tho

I'm day 3 post op, lots of pain but getting better every day, glad to be on the other side of it. Really struggling to get Protein AND Water in.

4 day liquid diet???? Your lucky. I have to do that for 2 weeks. I start Tuesday.

One of the biggest motivators for me was the weight i lost leading up to and during the preop diet. It's also good to have alternate outlets to channel your aggression. Maybe a sparring partner, lol.

I say call his bluff!!! You do what's right for you. Your husband is suppose to support his wife just as you would support him. Chances are he's just scared,regardless this is your life, your body, and your health! You know in your heart what's best for you go with that and let the chips fall where they may!

More pics

I'm basically excited I kept my boobs.

Wow! I am excited, elated, and obliviously happy about my decision to have weight loss surgery! When I look at photos of me before and after surgery my first instinct is to praise God for the doctors who did the surgery and the nurses, heck all of the employees working in that hospital who made my surgery uneventful and ensured my speedy recovery! Next I get overwhelmed with emotion that ranges from crying and then laughing because after 20 years of being obese and unhealthy I am now healthy and a few pounds away from my goal weight. I am grateful for the support and information I get from all of you here and I thank my god that even though we are millions of miles aprat I consider all of you my family. To anyone reading this who is feeling unsure or afraid my wish for you is that you will not give up because you will love the new you just as much as I love the new me!!! I am walking fiv emiles every day and I can mop my floors withour any back pain or being overcome with shortness of breath. I am off of my blood pressure meds as they were causing my blood pressure to drop too low, my HC1 test is now ata normal range as I can no longer tolerate anything sweet, no articifical sweetners for me I only use blue guava Syrup (10 calories per teaspoon) when I need to sweeten a drink or my hot Cereal in the morning. Life is good for me and my family now as I am more active with my grands and great grands now that I am healthier. I pray that everyone experiences the same results or even better ones as you journey on the road to a healthier, happier you. God Bless
