I went through a long stall right after losing the first 2 weeks, but finally starting to lose again.
I did measure and have lost between 2" and 2.5" off of each area. That's exciting at least. Anyone else going through that ? Slow loss, but inches going away?

Sadly I keep forgetting about these forums because I'm always on the Facebook groups. lol
I've made it to 11 DPO and have lost 17 lbs since the morning before surgery so I'm averaging between 1 and 2 lbs a day. Doc has me already on soft foods, but I am lucky to get 2 tsp total in. lol I love that though- getting full that quickly is amazing.
I can honestly say this has been much easier than I anticipated. Pain was minimal, gas was tolerable and I went back to work 2 dpo. I tore my incision a little, but it's good now. This is the best thing I've ever done so far. Why did I wait so long?

Gees, I hope I have that same "problem!" Nice to know what is possible. I envisioned pumping the morphine every 15 minutes. Have they had you up and walking a lot? Appreciate your sharing!

That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better.

I hope it all works out well for you. I'm at 1 month and it is getting easier.

I'm shocked at how quickly I've progressed.
No pain meds since 5 am. Very little pain.
I'm ready to go home. Lol

I never pushed the iv pain meds while in the hospital. The nurse would push it after she said your not using your pain meds. She would say you’ve paid for them since it is in iv Fluid so no refunds. I quit taking pain meds after I got home. Only took them the day of surgery and the next day. Once I got home I really didn’t feel I needed them.

That's great! Always nice to hear about a smooth recovery!

Just be ready for the stall!

good luck!! I'm 48 hours post op and slowly feeling better, stay strong and you're gonna be fine

Omg me toooooo, lol. I'm legit trying to but my mind is not letting that happen for me tonight. I'm waking up at 6:30 because my surgery @8 and these nerves are getting the best of me right now. On top of having to go to the bathroom every 5 mins from drinking that magnesium citrate to clean my body out, lol.

I’m getting sleeved Wednesday! Have to be at the hospital in 5 and a half hours but I can’t sleep

Hey everyone! My surgery is schedule for the 27th. My doctor isn't putting me on a clear liquid diet until 2 days prior to surgery, but I've been doing full liquids the last week or so and until the 25th to help shrink my liver.
Getting super nervous now... lol

Hi everyone I have surgery on the 27 of this month. Getting ready to start my pre op diet in 6 days, the last 3 days is a liquid diet not looking forward to that. Any tips would be great. Hope everyone is well and happy.
