SweetNovember

I get a bit discouraged because I stalled a long time ago and can't seem to break through but then I look back at this pic of me doing a 5k at 276 pounds where I came in dead last and the other pic of me from a 5k last weekend at 215 pounds and finishing with relative ease and I realize how far I've come. I will not give up, I will get over this slump, and I will resist the Halloween candy!

Good morning All,

Random question lol .... how many of you that have been sleeved and have turned to cooking for the family? How was it?

So glad to have found this group!!! I was sleeved Monday 11/6. Doctor Yu is my surgeon here in Houston, TX. I had some issues in recovery other than that it was a great experience. My pain was kept under control while there...not sure how it will be at home. I will definitely be finding out soon as I get to go home today!!!

First full day home for me; had surgery on the 7th. Doing well I think and getting fluids in ok and without too much discomfort. Hoping things settle for you quickly. Wishing you well.

Wishing you well. I am now on second day post-op. Recovering well I think. Able to drink the recommended fluids without too much discomfort.

Heading into surgery this morning! Hoping for a manageable recovery. Can't wait to start this journey

First full day home after surgery. The pain is tolerable. The only issue I’m having is fluids. While in the hospital I was sipping fluids with no problem now fast forward & I cant get anything down without severe chest pain. I’ve managed to keep it down which is a chore in itself. I spoke with the nurse practitioner today and she told me to focus on things with electrolytes in them and since I was able to get a popcicle down with minimal pain she suggested I make freezer pops out of propel...etc so I gave it a try and I’m now able to get fluids down as l was worried about dehydration. However if things don’t improve I would need to go in...so hopefully this issue will resolve itself soon!!! Also good luck to everyone getting sleeved today!!!❤️

I'm today at 1pm. Long morning so far. I'm starving and kinda weak/tired from Clear Liquids only. Have a pretty decent headache. It's 7:30 am and don't need to leave for hospital until 11:15. Think I'll quilt a bit and keep my mind off. My husband is making sausage and eggs and I am having hard time with smell I'm so hungry LOL. I'm not nervous YET. Just want it over with. I'm keeping positive.
