Bless you thank you for replying its reassuring to have so many people offering kind comments and advice

Yes I’m the same no loss and no gain so I’ll run with it and look after myself and see what next week brings thank you

Yes I know you’re right , thank you for your reply.

Thank you both for replying I think it’s what I already knew but just needed to hear it said to me I guess I appreciate your comments thank you I don’t have a scales at home I weighed in work but I’ll do as you suggest and forget the scales ,, I agree it’s not good to want to weigh yourself constantly thank you

It’s a week tomorrow I had my sleeve and I’m the same weight today as I was the day of the op , I know we’re all different but I thought I’d have lost something. Ive resisted weighing myself until now because I don’t want to be obsessed with the scales just thought I’d weigh once a week , bit disappointed with no loss at all Has this happened to anyone else here ? Any tips or advice would be gratefully received. Hope everyone one is doing well xx

I was sleeved the 3rd too healing well and starting to drink more water and protein today wish you all well

I’m doing great too glad you’re good hardly any pain in incisions and like you just a little stiff I did have indigestion but took gaviscon and it’s never come back so all ok with me. Not hungry at all and I’m starting to take more water and also protein water and protein shakes so generally going great ,,, go us ??????

I was sleeved the same day how are you getting on ?

I had vsg April 3rd Im home and doing well only slight discomfort from incisions , I didn’t gave gas pain so I guess I was lucky , I walked a lot though quite soon after surgery - I did have bad indigestion though and gaviscon cleared that ... not had it since I’m sipping water and protein as much as possible , I need to monitor how much though as I’m probably not hitting what I should yet , so I’ll start that today, loving hearing about everyone’s journeys here - wishing you all a speedy recovery and for those due to have their surgeries , hope it all goes well for you

Hi @MaddiesMomma I’m home and doing great , heartburn and indigestion was a problem to start but all sorted now How are you doing ?

Thank you for replying they gave me gaviscon it worked a treat not had heartburn since I’m home and doing well sip sip sipping

Thanks for the reply I’m still in hospital so I’ve asked for something not sure if it’s heartburn or indigestion Its right in middle of chest Its that painful it’s stopping me taking sips ,,,it’s that bad ,,, not complaining though I’ve had it easy compared to another lady here bless her

Hi everyone hop your all doing well. Im two days post op and have the most horrendous heartburn even after a sip of water - it’s making me not want to drink/sip. Anyone else have this and what did you do to help it please ?

Thank you

Hi had my band removed 2018 January had sleeve done yesterday

Thank you

Bless your heart , thank you for well wishes day one post op I’m doing ok .. gas pain only in sternum and it’s really painful ,,,moving about and walking as much as pain will allow. Can’t drink without pain though everything must be so swollen feeling positive though

Thank you

Thank you I’m next for theatre waiting patiently,,,

I’m actually here, can’t quite believe it after surgery was cancelled for 20th March. Then was supposed to come in last night but they told me not to as lack of beds. Then told to come in for 7am today , then told possibly no beds. But eventually they came to get me from waiting room and I’m sat by my bed and it’s all going ahead. Nerves , anxiety , relief to be here. I’m last on the list. So a little wait yet. But it’s happening Wishing everyone having surgery today all the best xxx

I’m 3rd April too there are five of us now as far as I can remember ,,, ??????

Ah nice one , I’m sure we’ll be a support for each other. I’ve not been asked to do liquid at all so just sticking to very low cal liver shrinking diet , I’ve been doing it almost five weeks now due to cancelled surgery , I’m hoping it doesn’t get cancelled again as my bmi was 40 but will be less now as I’ve definitely lost weight during this past five weeks , but the diet isn’t sustainable as it’s so low in calories and goodness and I’m quite hungry at times.

That’s four of us on that day @MaddiesMommaand @alchaley How are we all doing so far on pre op ?

Hi Ive had my sleeve surgery that was March 20th cancelled and moved to 3rd April so I’ve been on very low calorie low carb pre op diet almost five weeks now. Ive stuck to it 100% so I’ve lost weight as it’s so strict and am concerned they won’t do the surgery for me starting BMI was 40 but I won’t be that now Anyone know if this has ever happened?

Aw bless you. At least you’re home and hopefully you’ll improve daily now. Yes definitely keep on track of the meds - - don’t let them wear off. I’ve read a lot about people not being able to keep up with the water intake Someone said to add protein to your water and it’s easier to drink. Check with your team first though of course. New day tomorrow, hope you get to a really good place in your journey soon
