Amazon has peaches and cream!

Still wearing my same sweatsuit and sweaters wardrobes dang it! Good news the panties I bought accidently at Wally World over a year ago that were too small now fit, I am on the verge of undergrowing some of my bras, and I think my legs are starting to look less like elephant foot umberella holders, and , dare it say it? curves and definition like normal ladies, rump starting to flatten out but belly looks balloon air has leaking out of, rather blobby and flaccid. And my waist is inching smaller, oh I may never make 36-24-36 but maybe 40-27-38? that was in my prime, maybe 20 years old, oh being alive is reward itself, but I would like to be known or spoke of, by my name instead of so-and-so's fat whatever, be it mom, grandmom or friend. And I plan to be more decisive instead of appeasing everybody. The roadway of life is littered with flat squirrels who failed to make a decision. And when I replace clothing it will be in pastels, bright shades, maybe polka dots or plaidsn tired of retiring into the background of life. I am going to be so vibrant I shall vibrate!

I had my sleeve done on the 19th

Another Mirena IUD user here, and I love it. I've had mine for 2 years, no periods (just a little spotting here and there). I keep kicking myself for not going that route sooner.

Hey Zombie! I spoke with my surgeon's nurse and explained to her that the most I was able to get down was 40+/- and she explained to me that I should strive for the 64, but if 35-45 was all I could tolerate, just to work it in little at a time and slow sips of course. I'm PO 7 days today. I did my 1st-mile walk today, and I have been able to get down 54 ozs on yesterday, shooting for the 64 today, still working, but I might not make the 64 oz marker today, but I am working on it. Keep striving. Use the drink reminder so you can at least try every 15 minutes or so. Keep pushing!! We are all in this together! ?

I had dizziness for some days after surgery, but it passed - don't worry.
Once I got onto sloppy solids, it stopped altogether.

I’m 16 days post op and I don’t think I give myself a chance to get hungry. I stay drinking water and knocking down protein. I just started blended/puréed and can’t even eat a quarter to half cup before feeling like I’m going to burst. Not sure if it’s all the liquids I drink or what, but I have to force myself to eat. Only time I want food is when I’m smelling something scrumptious!! I started drinking Protein Water as soon as I got out of the hospital. May be the difference. Not sure how I’ll handle hunger!! Good luck!!

Happy Happy SURGIBIRTHDAY all my December 17th friends! May all go smoothly, may you have the recoveries you desire and stay friends forever!

I'm scheduled for the 17th! Would love to be in a group chat

I am also scheduled for the 17th! I would love to be included! I am excited to have someone the same day as me so we can compare notes!

My surgery is tomorrow as well. So excited and nervous!

Good luck to all of you tomorrow

I’m scheduled for Wednesday, 12/19!

I had mine done on November 6th and I am 41... so far down 50lbs from my highest weight, and grateful. I feel lucky to have gone with the doctor I had and did not have any complications... I was tired for the first few days but really set goals to get up and walk every hour there is so much truth to the walk walk walk and sip sip sip statements made, also my surgeon used a pain block sheet which lasted a few days after surgery which I think really helped with recovery and getting moving. I 100% agree with people saying get ahead of the constipation that continues to be my nemesis! lol. Good luck with the new move and your journey!

I am being sleeved on the 20th too!! Time is getting close[emoji28]

I am being sleeved on the 20th ! I would love to join chat group as well!

Oh wow, I have a week pre-op diet but can have solids- just needs to be low sugar, low carb, high protein - it’s actually so much food I feel stuffed!
Best of luck to you!!!

My surgery is on the 17th as well. On day 8 of the liquid diet... which I can't stand!!!!!! This has to be the worst part of the process since the hunger is suppose go away after the surgery.

I am 40 and am 5 weeks post-op. No complications so far (besides, like everyone else, trying to pass a stone where you shouldn't). Just had my 1 month post op appt earlier today and doc says I'm doing well, I feel excellent, energetic, and have had tons of NSV's in a really short period of time.

To the original poster - my 1 week post op appt was a post surgery class that included about 10 other people that were also 1 week post op- I would say at least 7 or 8 out of those 11 people were 40+. I wouldn't worry too much about the age thing.

Wising you a speedy recovery[emoji4]

My surgery is same day surgery center- after few hours, up walking, able to sip and hold down fluid, you are discharged. I live in Las Vegas. People from all over the country come to this practice to get this procedure done. They call it fast track. In 5 days get all testing done Psychological is done on line, ULTRASOUND IF NEEDED, EKG, STRESS TEST, EGD, BLOOD WORK, NUTRITION CONSULT, VGS SURGERY, IV THERAPY NEXT DAY then return home. The surgeons have been here for years, they have perfected the process, the patients absolutely get door to door service. Hotel, private car service to and from all appointments. ? Of course I live here so I completed my process over few weeks.
Good Luck tomorrow , remember go into procedure with happy positive thoughts ?
