Congrats!!!! You look great! It will be 1 week tomorrow. I also started at 242 ????

Thank you so much for your reply! I have a feeling I will be a lot like you! What are your favorite things to eat? ????

Yes! Day of surgery i was 237 (242 at pre-op) and today I'm 229.

Thank you! I know I'll feel that stricture and fullness while on solids. Just right now I feel almost normal. Not what I was expecting 5 days out. But at least I don't have to worry about dehydration ????

I was 11/11????

So today is my first time I feel normal, I had the vsg on 11/10. And today I was actually hungry! I'm still on liquids. I drank 4 bottles of water with no problem. Taking gulps and all during the day. I drank my protein shake which normally takes me 30-45 min, in 15 min. (That was dinner) I was able to drink another bottle of water after that. Now on my 5th bottle right now. Basically I'm feeling no stricture, I kinda feel hungry right now. It's weird. Everyday I'm able to drink and eat more, I know that's my stomach healing and not being so swollen. But I just want to make sure my ability to drink fast and a lot is ok. Cause we all know how the docs would tell you how hard it would be to get liquids in. Just a little advice or peace of mind would be much appreciated. Thanks ????

Hello there! Finally could post something I was sleeved yesterday and feel pretty good! I have some gas trapped in my back, but it's nothing I can't handle. It's 4pm and I'm still waiting to be discharged. Apparently my surgeon forgot something in the paperwork. When I woke up yesterday, I was in a moderate pain, and had bad nausea. They gave me lots of meds and I was in and out for most of the evening. This night wasn't too bad either. I would sleep for about 2 hours until the meds wore off, then I would go walk. So far so good. Ready to be home now! SW-238 GW-135
