I was sleeved 10/04 and I am down 34 lbs not sure how much is the normal monthly loss though

Hi did you have Dr. Bell as your surgeon?

I had Dr. Ajay Goyal he's great

I’m not telling anyone either so you are not alone. The only ppl who do know are my sister and my best friends. I don’t even want to tell my boyfriend. I’ve been stressing as time gets closer to surgery date (Dec 4th) on how I will explain the scaring. I still don’t know but I’m not worried about it anymore. I’m doin this for myself.

My scaring isn't bad besides we don't walk around shirtless lol don't worry

I'm currently on this phase and I would love to hear what you guys are eating ?

Thank you I have a Walmart right next to me Ima buy one

Spanx and girdles are God sent lol yes lose skin comes with it.. But do I care? Hell no I'm smaller.. I'd rather be smaller with lose skin then as fat and unhappy as I was.. Don't let skin stop you or worry you .. That can be removed if you choose to..

Is there a specific brand that works well for you ?

How is your skin adjusting to such rapid weight loss ? I'm nervous about that

Hi how are you doing post op ?

I'm doing great I'm feeling good back to normal and I'm in great spirits less than 2 weeks post opp and I've lost 18 lbs

Happy to hear all went well (except one episode of blood-vomit) and that you are up and feeling better!
Keep the updates coming!

I am less than 2 weeks post op and I have lost 18.5 lbs yayyy I'm feeling great and I'm so excited for this journey

If the class had a sign in log you can submit that as proof for your appeal hope everything works out for you

I was sleeved 10/04 in Overlook hospital and I've already lost 11 lbs in a week pretty amazing

I have the same. It doesn’t mean they were rough, I guess. Yes, it has been irritated with pipes, plus you got your fluids through IV for about 2 days, and a few more days after you (most likely) was dehydrated. That’s a perfect condition to get some soreness or even mild infection. It should go away soon.

Thursday I go for my first follow up I'm going to have him check my throats it's very irritated all the time that constant lump feeling is very annoying and I've had enough of it ugh

I'm located in Northern nj

...your trash can at work looks like this.

Which ones have you tried I'm post op and I've only had chocolate and caramel

I had that and my throat was also sore for a week or so. Now two months out I still feel a bit of a lump bit it's not uncomfortable. I don't usually notice it.

I wonder if it's from when they do the endoscopy but that would of meant they were rather rough I say that only because the last one I had I was fine I didn't know if anyone else had the same issue

My husband, 2 of my grown children, 1 boss, and 3 friends. That's all I have and will tell. Along with 22000 people on this forum.

I had surgery Wednesday and still haven't told anyone and I don't regret the choice I made

God luck to you; positive vibes your way [emoji295]️[emoji295]️

Hey guys hope everyone's well , ever since surgery I feel like there's a lump in my throat like something's stuck I can't shake the feeling anyone have this same issue ? Not sure if it's from endoscopy that they did to make sure everything went smooth I'm just trying to feel normal again and this doesn't help

How are you feeling today? Any better? My stomach is still spasming but it's not bringing on those full blown nausea attacks. Already it's easier than yesterday even if that's the only improvement.

I was thinking of you oddly enough when I woke up yes I'm feeling much better not 100% but I'm feeling much better than yesterday the nausea is still here but it's slowed down greatly. I am having stomach spazzing but not as frequently which is a plus I'm praying for a speedy recovery

I had surgery 10/03: I Have only been doing Water, sf koolaid packets with water and sf popsicles, 1 sf Jello. Luckily, no nausea yet. Next week, I'll slowly do Protein. It seems too much to down right now.

I think the protein is to heavy on the stomach right away it made me vomit instantly and boy was that the worst do you feel like there's a lump in your throat ? Or maybe that's just me

I just made some high Protein chicken broth I bought of this site. It seems easier getting the warm broth down. Try something warm and see if it helps.

Will try thank you

Yes, still lots of air. I can't imagine trying to make it through without the nausea medicine. It's hard to get anything down even with the meds. I'm just going to focus on me this weekend. sleep, eat, drink whenever I want and not beat myself up about anything.

I wish I would at least have that option at least I'm going to the pharmacy tomorrow to see if they have something that's over the counter they need a get better quick over the counter lol

OMG, I had mine done 10/4. The nausea is insane. I can tell though that it's slightly better this afternoon. It's taken me all day but I got one Protein Drink in and 8 oz of Water so far. I'm taking Zofran every 6 hours. It seems to last 3. The nausea actually woke me up from sleeping last night. I figure it's baby steps. My doctor prescribed 7 days of Zofran for nausea so I figure it should be gone within a week?

My doctor didn't want to prescribe me something for nausea but I definitely need it I'm barely able to drink or anything and I don't want to get sick bc I'm not able to keep anything down I had a few sips of breath and a little cranberry juice as well as 2 sips of my Protein drink which is extremely gross ugh I hope it gets better. Do you still have a lot of air in your stomach ? Mine is so puffy right now

Had my sleeve done 10/4 and I'm feeling horrid I'm so nauseous and I can't keep anything down I did switch to the liquid pain meds but I keep throwing that up as well did anyone have anything like this ? All comments are appreciated
