Hello!
I was sleeved on the 24th. Doing pretty good, no real pain except some gas pain this weekend (which was killer).
I am tolerating liquids and purees per my dr's instructions.

I had sleeve surgery 8/18. I started Protein Drinks yesterday, had my first taste of creamy Soup today. I've been very fortunate - no nausea and no problems to speak of. I noticed yesterday that my skin and underneath in the fatty areas feels all smooshy and flabby and soft. I supposed that is fat melting away and I should Celebrate but I'm a little freaked out about it. It's just weird and I guess I'm anxious about my body changing right before my own eyes. And THAT is taking me by surprise! #calmdowngirl

I'm a 49, I believe a "mans man" and I just bought myself a dozen jars of baby food. At least I got food for 2 month old.

Im finally in the 180's lol, 189 to be exact but ill take it!
Its been over 6 years since ive been under 200. Sooo glad I had this done!

Love these post. I'm 3 weeks from surgery and in the same boat as many of you. Only 80 total lbs to lose to ideal weight. I love hearing about those lbs coming off. It doesn't sound like weighing every day is a good idea....?

I am scheduled for a sleeve on 8/25 in Dallas.

If I were you I'd switch soups. Granted every program is different I admit I'm kind of surprised that you have been cleared for all foods already. I'm looking forward to eating soft food by the end of this week, whoo hoo! HW 341 SW 298 DOSW 286 CW 271 DOS 08/09/16

Hey guys! I had my surgery yesterday and everything went very. I'm trying to keep moving and use my breathing machine and the only incision I can say that actually hurts is the one where he removed my stomach.

Hi Everyone! I was sleeved on 8/5/16, so today marks Post-Op Day 6. Guess what? I'm at work! Now granted, I have a desk job that is very sedentary, and thankfully I can wear sweats and a t-shirt to work, so it's not terrible. What has been a challenge has been staying on top of all of my Fluid intake, but I'm trying to adjust.
The hardest part so far has been getting over the mental game. The clear fluids phase prescribed by my doctor is two-weeks long, and I'm barely done with week one and already want to hang myself. My brain wants to eat everything, especially pizza! So, it's tough...but I know that I'll get through it. The physical aspect of this transformation hasn't been too bad. I started walking immediately, stopped taking pain meds on post-op Day 3 and drove myself to the store on post-op Day 4. I've also dropped 8 pounds since being home, however, I've stalled a bit over the past two days. It's fine, I'm not expecting anything else right now.
Anyway, that is my update so far. I'm wishing all of my VSG 8/16 friends good luck on your journey!

Hey LxA, congrats on your loss! I started my journey in April at 248. Day of surgery 8/5 I was 230 and this morning I was at 218. Things are going well. There have been a few days when I've had a brief stall, so I'm trying to only weigh myself once a week. I can feel the difference in my clothes.
Keep it up!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your initial pains, and hope you're feeling better. My doc has me on a clear liquid diet for two weeks, then full liquid for another two weeks, followed by pureed for 2 weeks, and finally soft foods. It's a long, boring road. Good luck!

I was sleeved 08/09/16. I'm 5 days post op and 9lbs down. Initially I was feeling pretty spry but yesterday and today I feel entirely low energy. Sigh only 5 days more to go with the clear liquid diet, which I'm beginning to hate.

My VSG is scheduled for 8/22! I'm a mix of excitement and nervousness!
