Sooo... since we obviously can't drown our sorrows and hormonal crazies in a tub of ice cream anymore once post op... please share
your secrets for keeping it together?

I'm a little over 3 weeks post op and doing pretty good but have thrown up several times I'm thinking it has to do with eating too much or too fast but it's pretty miserable!!!!!! Sw 209 cw 189 gw 130

Checking in again. It's been 3 weeks since surgery. Worked this past week and eating a high Protein soft foods diet. Feeling pretty good. Stamina coming back, but the scale doesn't change. Going a bit crazy. I feel like I'm the one that this won't work for. Everyone says to be patient...

Well here is another update. Moving a lot now. Still no weight loss. I'm concerned my metabolism has met my 600 calorie per day intake. I'm hoping it's just an endless plateau, but it feels so unfair. I have not cheated. I'm exactly doing what I'm supposed to. Back to work on Monday. I hope you all are doing better.

I keep hearing about depression post surgery. Are we talking clinical depression or the blues for a couple weeks? I have chronic fatigue/anxiety but don't typically suffer from depression. I'm on an ssri . I'm very concerned about this. It's going to be hard on my family without depression. I'm scared to get depressed.

Hi again, my deal will be outpatient. I go in one week from today at 5am then I go home sometime towards the end of day. I am curious what pain meds were you given while at the facility? Where they via an IV? I'm having a hiatal hernia surgery at same time and I'm not very tough. I'm worried about them controlling the pain?!

What some things you packed and need my surgery in 3 weeks and I don't know what to take

How are the August people doing post-op??

Can't wait to b at the point I feel like myself!!!

The drain was the source of my pain too! Felt much better when it was removed

I'm doing okay. The doctor kept me in the hospital for another night because of all my nausea. Everything but that is going great. How about you?Are you at home tonight?

I'm heading to the store in the morning for some gas x An hoping it helps the feeling I did well with my Water but even at times that made me nauseous I have also been walking a lot An prayer double time

What is everyone eating and how do u know ur full? Ru waiting 30 mins to drink before and after??

I'm day 3 as well and the indigestion is the worst but I got gas x strips that dissolve in mouth and I'm walking too which seems to help hang in there it's hard I know but it will get better!!!! I pray a lot!!!!!!!!

Hurts to drink feels like indigestion how do I deal with that it's hard to get Water n due to pain!

I was sleeved today aug 29 and I was so nervous but so far I feel great little pain, great doctors and nurses. Only pain is the drain everything else is good!!! Very thankful!!!! I hope yours went great!

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, 8/28. I'm nervous - not about the surgery itself, but about what happens after. I'm also having these irrational (?) fears that the surgery work for me - that I'll be ravenously hungry, that my metabolism won't let me lose weight. But, another part of me is optimistic that I'll lose weight and keep it off. Yikes! I'm nervous.

Feeling good pain much better! So excited to start my journey!!!!!!
