I just had my surgery 4/2/15. I was scared and nervous. It was a huge decision. I did everything my surgeon asked of me before surgery. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months and started walking and exercising regularly . I even ran a 5k the Sunday before surgery. I think all of the preparations before have paid off in recovery. The gas pain was intense, but I would make 4/5 laps at oug the hospital floor every two hours while awake. Day 4 I even walked 1.25 miles. It was at a much slower pace than prior to surgery, but all the moving as helped move the gas. I can honestly say I feel like I'm 85%. I have a hard time getting the Protein and Water in, but do my best. I want the best weight loss possible and make this all worth it . Of course it was hard on Easter only 4 days after surgery watching everyone celebrating with food. I had a little cry and picked myself up and went for a walk. Saturday and Sunday I was kind of emotional and regretting what I had done. Pain sucks, but every day it gets better. I can't wait to have this be a distant memory, till then I just keep moving!

I was sleeved on 4/2/15. I'm looking for a buddy too. I just found this app and it has been great reading that others are going through similar things. I am feeling great, have already started waking and the past two days walked 1.25 miles. It did take me longer than usual, but I'm moving. The only thing that concerns me is that it feels like my stomach is spasming off and on all day and I get a pain in my chest. It happens wether I'm drinking or not. No nausea, but I feel like I have to breathe through the pain. I don't think I'm taking too big of sips. Any suggestions? If that would go away, I'd be feeling almost back to normal.

Hi Everyone,
I'm having my Sleeve done on 1 April, and I'm looking for people who will be having surgery the same day. I want a group where we are all going through the same thing at the same time. Here we can talk about:
- Pre-Op To Do's
- Grocery List for After the surgery
- Vitamin Intake
- Concerns
- Post-Op Journey
- Success
- And anything that will help us with our journey.
I hope to meet some long lasting friends that understand our Struggle.

Hello April 1st Sleevers
How is everyone doing????
Tomorrow is our first week Anniversary!
I feel great lots of challenges getting all Protein in!
Yet, in the big picture I am so pleased with my decision!
Today I finally hit my Pre-op day weight! GAINED 8 lbs
With all those fluids!!!! Scary! Now ready to watch
The scales start that downward movement!
Hope everyone is doing well!
Linda
