Update. Im 5.5 months post op and got new labs this week.... my insulin level are down to normal, my testosterone levels are down to normal and I am ovulating on my town. Although we have to wait a few more months to try, my endocrinologist feels that we have a pretty good chance.of being successful. I'll be 46 years young and thanks tto the sleeve, a lot more healthy. Ive lost 82# from my heaviest weight and 70#since surgery.

Hi Everyone! I had Gastric Bypass done September 21,2016 and it was the best choice I have ever made! This Journey to a new me has been amazing and I love the look of shock on peoples faces when they see Ive lost 138 in 7 months! I work out hard kickboxing 3 days a week and cardio in the gym another 1 to 2 days a week it takes alot of hard work but if you want it bad enough tou have to fight for it! Best of Luck to everyone out there!

Im off metformin as well and doing great without it. I struggled on the liquid diet. I had to drink 5 shakes a day, but some days i still felt hungry. I did cheat a couple times and ate a slice of cheese and a piece of grilled chicked once. I told my surgeon about it before surgery and ge said I was still ok for surgery. I guess I had some good cheats :-)

This has been an emotional journey. Im 2 days out and still in the hospital. All and all the experience has not been a bad experience. Im still in the hospital tryong to get.the pain managed. I had a shower for the firdt time since surgery today, it felt like heaven. Im expecting great things to come.

I tried the pillow like Sam827 memtioned. It worked greatly. Im able to move aroind and do things now.

I am 13 days post op and I am already noticing a decrease in my huritism. My skins is clearer. I believe my insulin resistance is under control.

@ebarclay yes that is what I meant to have all symptoms disappear and for my cycle to regulate on it's own [emoji1373]

Best of luck!!!!

I experienced the same thing. I barely used the pain meds while at the hospital, but at home I took them on a regular basis the first few days. I tried to put some folded blankets down on our living room chair to give me an extra inch or two to make getting up a little bit easier. Might have been more of a mental thing, but I would sometimes hold a pillow against my stomach when getting up. Seemed to keep things from moving around as much when getting up and down.
Good news is that in another day or so you should have an easier time of getting around. Just keep taking it easy and take your time getting up.

They make toilet seat boosters that raise the level of where you are sitting. They would be found at medical supply places.

Hon, let me help you with this. First of all, whether you have surgery or not, you should stop drinking sodas, diet or otherwise. And I will tell you why. I know it is a hard addition to break but I hope this helps. Look at the ingredients of a diet soda. First and foremost is the poison "aspertame" and I say poison because that is exactly what it is. Look up the neurological and physical effects of aspertame. One of the things aspertame does is forms formaldehyde like residue in your brain which contribute's to brain fog and other neurological disorders and can even mimic Parkinson's disease with the shakes. It also contains phosphoric acid (look that one up)which completely destroys your bones as it make's the Calcium leech out of your bones and hurts your kidneys. Diet sodas and all sodas are great for cleaning your toilet. Put some in and watch the acid do the work better than most cleansers including ajax.
I know not drinking soda is as hard a habit to break as smoking but once you start to look at what you are actually putting in your body, especially your new baby stomach, you may think twice.
Be strong and really look at that label on the soda and research the truth about sodas. I pray that God will give you the strength to see soda for the demon it really is.
I am 6yrs free of soda and no amount if money could make me put that crap in my body. Also when you do stop drinking soda as soon as 4 months when you try to drink one, you won't believe how truly nasty that stuff is!!!!
Let it call your name and ignore that bitch, cuz she is bad bad news.
Good luck!!
