I would be interested in joining a support group. I am awaiting approval.

August 25th for me. Down 23 pounds. Really no pain except if I eat too fast. On soft foods. My favorite recipe is Ricotta cheese bake (ricotta mixed with egg, seasonings and parm cheese and topped with marinara and baked)
No complaints so far.

So I had the surgery yesterday. And I've done really well. I wss able to drink the liquids they want me to drink. Mostly Protein Drinks. I don't want to lose my hair. The pain is manageable with the Oral meds that I also have at home, so that won't stop me from going home. I hope I can get home tonight. You can't get a good night sleep at the hospital.

They put me on full liquids right after surgery. I will be in full for 10 days

How are my August 25th Sleevers doing? I'm so blessed that I didn't have any complications and mild to no pain. I hope everyone is doing ok!

So happy to hear you're doing so well, sleeve twin! I am too. And so grateful for this chance at a healthier life. Keep up the good spirits!

So happy for you! It sounds like everything is going well for you. Keep up that positive attitude and you will do great!

@@staceymeaux - great start....great attitude...and welcome!

I am 6 days post-op from VSG. I have had a great experience so far. The surgery and recovery were really unremarkable. Some pain from the gas and bloating the first evening, but by the next day I was much better. I had some leg cramping for a couple of days but some gatorade g2 fixed that right up and I have had some nausea, but nothing that Zofran has not been able to handle. The diet has been very bearable since I am not really hungry at all. I am back at work today full-time and feeling good. I am down 14 pounds so far. I am really still in shock that I finally had the surgery that I have been praying about for several years now. It feels like a dream come true. Can't wait to see how my body changes over this next few months and years and can't wait to experience things I have been putting off because of my weight. Feeling determined.

Hi everyone, so motivating.
I was sleeved on 26 August and remained an extra night in hospital due to fever. I am home now and I sleep a lot . Just sleeping around the clock, in between trying to stay hydrated!which has been a very slow process. I thank God because I met a lady one month post op whose stomach refused to work. Met her in hospital and left her there. God has been good to me.

I had my surgery 8/27. The gas and nausea were the most painful so far. After I got meds for gas , I got the dry heaves- not fun. Since I have been home, I have not taken any meds. I don't feel too bad. Not having any problems walking or sleeping. Also I am afraid to swallow any meds - the thought of it makes me cringe. So far my doctor is only allowing Clear Liquids. So I will keep plugging away.

8/25 sleever here and I'm feeling decent. I've been walking a lot, but tend to get crabby at the end of the day. Glad you're doing well!

Home, feeling like a million bucks... But run out of energy very quickly. My shower today really did me in! I'm feeling great, though. The nausea and vomiting from day 1 are gone, am off all pain meds, drinking my tiny sips like I was told, and really happy to be doing so well. I was able to walk 1 mile (in small increments) the day after surgery so I'm sure that helped with the gas and other nasty side effects. I'm hoping all our 8/25 "sleeve twins" are doing as well as or better than me!

Was sleeved yesterday at 2pm. So far so good. I have some abdominal pain and nausea, but it is all manageable so far. I have been getting up to walk around every few hours. How are other August 25thers doing!

Thank you everyone. Getting nervous and excited.
