Hi Guys & Girls. Update on my journey. 64 days post my surgery now am at 372 lbs. Still a long way to go:)))

So true

Thank u?

Hi All. Went to see the team today 8 days after my Sleeve. Have lost 19.82 Lbs as off today from my surgery weight which was 427 Lbs. Dr said its good progress. What do u all think? Next touch base is on coming Sunday again.

This is not normal. May be an allergy to something? You should go back to your team & consult for sure

Happy for you. It will get better soon

To tell u the truth. My Surgeon is a friend of the family. I was just not ready to have the sleeve. U r gonna laugh now. I woke up on 28th morning & sent him a text if he can operate me on the 30th? He said yes & i told him i am smoking right now with my coffee. He said muck it & pls this time just come & get admitted & he will take care off the rest. Thats how i walked into it. New year resolution hype thing. Never dieted pre op. For the dinner today well they were all smoking outside by the pool so i was never near. But hell yes i could smell all the smoke & see all that house cooked Meat Balls & Grilled Chkn & Pasta & Paella & Black Forest Cake infront off me. It was very very testing to say the least especially as its been only 1 week today since the surgery. But then given the circumstances I had no option but to keep on sipping my iced Water.

I will share the complete 7 days after my surgery including the Birthday party dinner of 25 friends we celebrated today for my sister. Imagine all the food & booze & smokes i had around me??

Thank u so much. I love being here

I can feel for you. I am really an Eggy. Dying to have one as well

Hi All, Newbie here?. Wanna share my journey in getting sleeved & how its turning out so far. Am 40 Yrs old. Gained weight in last 2 years (from 320 lbs to 427lbs) due to severe depression & alcohol abuse. Suffering from Anxiety & panic attacks. So with courage from my wife & family went & sought help in June 2018. Quit Drinking in Sep. Have been sober since. Was smoking till Dec 28th 2018. Not much. May be 5-6 V light slim cigarettes a day. Have had hypertension for last 10 yrs. No Sugar. No diabetes. No Cholesterol issues as well. Got admitted on 29th Dec. Had my Laparoscopic Sleeve done on the 30th of Dec. Got discharged from Hospital on the 1st of Jan 2019. It was a wonderful homecoming. Have been recommended a liquid diet by the team for 3 months. I asked the team if i could swim as even prior to getting sleeved i used to swim 2 times daily. Surprisingly they okeyed me to swim and did water proof dressings for the stitches which we replace after disinfecting every day after i swim. Its been a week today since the surgery. I have been swimming for 3 days regularly now. I feel soooooo different. Sorry for the long first post. More to follow. Glad to be a part off this great community.
