Okay - truth - I, like you, am just over two weeks out. I was very active pre-surgery and was in pretty good shape. I had also lost weight before surgery (about 40 pounds) and ended up weighing 223 the morning of surgery. I was pretty miserable the first few days after surgery and the two week liquid diet sucked and absolutely made me question whether I had made the right decision. Today, I went on one of my two daily walks and had to stop part way through because I suddenly wasn't feeling well. Again - I started to question this whole decision. So - I don't think your feelings are abnormal at all! All of this being said, I'm trying to just hang on and give my body time to finish healing. There are just too many ups and downs right now. I am supposed to start back to exercise at 6 weeks - so hopefully will be feeling better by then. For now - just try to push the negative thoughts away and hang on to the good ones! I will have to say the weight loss has been great so far, so that help! Good luck!!

Those who know me at this site know what I've been through during the whole sleeve process. I've had my share of complications and difficulties and I've also had my share of regrets. But I can honestly say I have overcome all of it. The weight will start dropping and you'll feel better everyday. You'll be able to do things you either never have done or wanted to be able to do again. You will get surprising comments from people, wonderful compliments. Children will even take notice and you know how honest they can be. food will become something for survival and necessity instead of a habit and you will wake up one morning and realize it and things will just change..your eyes will open. You are so early out, it's very difficult to put things into perspective at this time so I would just focus on doing what your supposed to do..fluids, Protein, excercise,,etc..and let the warm fuzzy feelings come with time. I know it's so hard but you made a decision to take charge of your life. It doesn't seem like the perfect thing having the surgery right now but you will be so glad someday soon and all the bad experiences you are having will fade. Although it's so wonderful, it's not just about the cute clothes or the compliments for me. I'm going to be so much healthier and live my life instead of watching others around me live theirs.

Never, not one. Things will look up, I'm sure of it. It's like Christmas morning when you slip into a pair of jeans a size of two smaller. I went from wearing 18's and 20's to 4's and 6's. When I got to single digit sizes....my first pair of 8's.....I was practically orgasmic!!!!! There is nothing like it! You'll be thrilled, I wanted to go shout it to everybody else in The Gap!!! LoL

I know a lot of people think "what the h3ll have I done". I was one of them. Your body I, furious at you for the lack of food, you're swollen from surgery still, and all those hormones are pouring out of the fat that is melting off of you. But I promise it is fleeting. It happens around a month to 6 weeks. When your diet is released to more normal foods. When your body adjusts to the hormones and diet. And when YOU start noticing the difference in your own appearance. Hang on. It's not easy, and mentally draining at first. But soon you'll forget you have been sleeved. Thinks become normal again.

Mine is scheduled for August 16! I keep going back and forth between being really nervous and really excited! Just can't wait to be done with surgery and recovery and start this new journey! I am trying to get into a workout routine now.

What insurance do you guys have? My last nutrition appointment is mid July, and then I am assuming I can see if my surgery will be approved. I have high mark. Do you know if the doctor will check for approval or should I call?

I had my surgery this morning and doing well! No nausea, some gas pain but not bad at all. Thankful!

I had mine yesterday, just got home. Surgery was delayed 3 hrs because Dr. was stuck on interstate and all lanes wee shutdown. Surgery went great. Had dry heaves for about 4 hrs. Easy since then. No pain, no gas pains (just like plain gas) and liquids are smooth going down. Get a little weak standing up for long, but it's easier each time...No real pain, just feels like pulled muscles or a baby. I wish you all the best.
