Hey sisters. Just got back from my post op appointment. It went great. I am 8 lbs down. He said the weight loss should pick up around 3 weeks post surgery because during thenfirst 3 weeks ur body is focused on healing after major surgery. After that time it kicks into gear on weight loss. Yayy. And i get to start my oureed diet. Im SO EXCITED!!!!!! so glad everyones doing great. Picked up my Vitamins. He said i can take them as tolerated now and ease into the amt i need. One thing i need to do is stay off the scale three times a day lol. Im gonna try to weight once or twice a week. We will see if i can actually do that. Hahaha.
He said during my sirgery they really contemplated just removing my lap band and doing sleeve in a later surgery due to it had slipped, caused a hernia he had to repair. But they ouffed up my stomach after and it looked great so they proceeded. Omg inwould have been soooo upset if they hadnt sleeved me. I know its for my own good but inselfishly want to get the show on the road and get rid of this big ol butt. Lol. Have a great week yall. Im gonna eat me some yogurt. Lol

I went yesterday to see him and forgot to bring it up

I had mine yesterday, I've lost 8 lbs since surgery and have lost over 20 lbs in general. Still on liquids and can start purée next week.

Happy 1 Week Surgiversary 26ers!!
Can you believe its already been a week?
Saw surgeon for post op today. All was well except can you believe my blood pressure was high again? Last friday it was way down. Go figure.
I have been switched from Clear Liquids to strained full liquids. Never thought I'd be so happy to drink a V8!! Had some pain that comes and goes in my left shoulder which I assumed was gas, but dr. wanted to be sure so sent me over to hosp for CT scan. No fun getting another IV for the dye, but now I can rest assured I have no blood clots.
Have lost 8 lbs since surgery weigh in.
Havent had the sleep issues I'm seeing some of you have. I'm sleeping amazingly well. I have not taken any naps during day though and really dont even lay down until bedtime so that probably helps. Dont know if that is a factor for any of you. Glad to hear the sleep aids are allowed. I did however wake up with a runny nose Sunday morning. I was panicking, thinking I was getting sick, which on top of all this fun was worrisome to me. Went to pharmacy and pharmasist gave me an antihistamine that took care of it. Im thinking it was the bouqets of flowers peeps sent me. I put them all outside and now seem to be better.
ChaCha77, I am so glad you have turned the corner!! I was really feeling for you...I can only imagine how much that sucked! I believe it was no joke. You've got this now and we are always here for you!
Good luck this week as everyone goes for their post op!

Today makes a week, it's been a little tough.. Pain is pretty much gone today. Having a lot of trouble keeping hydrated. I forget I have to keep drinking.

I am happy to say I just got my scale today. Prior to surgery I didn't own one. I am 8 days post op and down 10 lbs from my surgery weight. That really made my day.
