Sleeved 11/2/17.

My feelings yesterday after surgery was droggy from meds a little bit of vomitting from anesthesia but other than that got up from my bed and also walked with no assistance. Was only given Water and ice chips.< /p>

Day 1 post op I got up at 6am, went for a walk around the hallways. Dr came in to discharge me and i sipped some chicken broth and Jello. Feeling amazing! Best decision! (:

I’m November 2nd! So excited about this!! Also my first time on BariatricPal.

Well done you, I think it’s a great decision to do it when your young. I had a pregnancy like yours with precampsia and everything. I should have done it after that! You’re having yours 5 days before me. Keep us up to date! Mine is on nov 7th and I can’t wait. What a great decision you’ve made for your health [emoji16]



Thank you! Goodluck on your journey I'll keep an update! You too (:

I believe Apple1 covered it all! Ditto to that great advice given. Blessings to you on your journey hon! Keep us posted.

Couldn't agree more! Thank you!

hello and welcome to the forum!!
Are you getting the VSG surgery? The best advice I can give you is to stick to the plan your doctor gives you. Do whatever it takes to make that easier for you. Some people need to see a therapist to deal with food addiction issues some don't.
It is a good idea to have a support group in place and that could be this forum if you don't have good support near you. Don't compare your rate of loss with everyone else because we are all individuals. Get used to weighing and logging your food. This is extremely helpful during the pre-op and post-op periods. Some can gradually give up the logging once they are further out and closer to goal, but many people continue for quite some time.
Believe in yourself and keep your reasons for changing posted somewhere so you can refer back to them during rough moments. Make a list of things you will accomplish as you lose the weight, this is very motivating.
Look at this as a complete life style change and embrace the healthy changes you need to make. I think the most successful people long term have made permanent changes in the way they eat and their relationship with food. They also establish daily exercise routines. The exercise is more about getting fit and keeping your body moving, then helping with weight loss. Your diet will mostly responsible for that. I hope this helps some. Search past threads on any subject you have questions about and just jump in and join the discussions.

Hi My name is Rissa. I'm 24 years old and a new mom to a 6 month old. I've struggled with obesity my whole life, tried every diet pill, workout, meal plan and nothing worked.. From doctors telling me I was prone to so many health issues and a patient who "might" have pcos. I got blessed with my miracle baby. I gained 80 lbs with my pregnancy, weighing in at 345 my highest weight. Dr diagnosed me with preeclampsia 2 days before I was induced. After giving birth I lost 41 pounds( minus 7lbs which my son weighed) and I've been stuck. So 2 months ago, I was FINALLY prescribed phentermine! I went from 304 to 290 in 2 months. Now, my journey begins! October 25 I have my pre-op and November 2nd this momma is on the road to a better, greater, healthy lifestyle!! if you have any tips for things I can consume in my liquid diet or excerises let me know! Thank you!
