  1. So I had my sleeve gastrectomy on Monday at around 2 pm EDT.. it's now 107 am on Thursday early morning.. and I just got out of the hospital earlier today.. so far all I've had is half orange juice/half water.. about 45 ounces or so and now I have a big container of room temp water.. that I've sort of been sipping on the last hour.. ok only one sip so far.. but ya.. I'm trying my best to deal with all the pain and stuff.. it's not super easy but I'm ok. Just wanted to share where I was at.. this has been a long process getting to this point and it's almost surprising to me that I really full on went through with the surgery.. no regrets.. I'm happy I did it.. I just want it to stop hurting when I try and drink something hah.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Two and a half days post op

    Well.. just had along.. with other things my first post op surgeon consult.. it went pretty well I think.. the scale showed a good number which was cool.. down 23 lbs since last monday.. so that's nice.. still have a pretty long road ahead of me but that was a nice thing to see. Highest weight = 497 Surgery weight = 474 Current weight = 451 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Only 3lbs down since surgery

    I'm too heavy for normal scales still.. so on the bright side this isnt an issue.. 9 days post op. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post surgery consult.. and I'll see what I've lost since. Hw: 495 Sw:475 Cw:? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    October 2018 Sleevers

    Just wondering.. has anyone dealt with a feeling of pressure in your stomach that lasts a couple days? Been dealing with this since yesterday.. still hasn't gone away.. going to go for a walk with my mom this afternoon.. hopefully that will give me some relief.. walking is still tough for me.. I'm still very heavy.. so I get winded fast. But ya my surgery weight was 475 down from 495 at my highest.. I have my first post op consult on Thursday so I'll see what I've lost since last monday.. had surgery on the 22nd. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    But that's the thing.. oh.. ya.. I had one Hershey kiss.. ugh.. also I tried to eat 5 Ritz crackers but spit them out after I chewed them but I guess some of the cracker got down.. just hard to believe the negative effects of that would last so long.. it's almost been a full day since that.

    Been suffering with a feeling of light nausea, stomach pressure and the slight feeling something's sitting in my throat since yesterday.. not sure what's going on.. feel pretty crappy. Still have yet to use the bathroom, hoping that's not what's causing this.. praying for it to get better.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
