Maria my turn

When doubts come in I send them out. 9 lbs is wonderful. Be patient. It's more then numbers. You got this! Keep up the good work.

Stay your course. When doubts come to me I send them on their way. I worked hard to have this sleeve so how could it be wrong. You got this!

Hi Everyone. Sleeved 2/25. So far so good. Pain is easing up. No problem with drinking my fluids so far. Stomach let's me know when to stop. Getting 30gm of protein in so far with shakes. Trying yogurt later with a little protein power, fingers crossed. Everyone sounds like they are finding what they need to be doing for themselves which is fantastic since it is all about us working together doing what we need to do. I seem to be the only one on here with a heart issue which requires a blood thinner. As a result I'm having tarry stools. I have a call out to my doctor. Also have blood work scheduled for tomorrow. At best I hoping to stop one of the thinners but have a sick feeling I might have to go back into the hospital. Not letting this get the best of me. I can continue with progress. Reading everyone's post has been so uplifting. Sorry took me so long to get caught up and post. I' be been walking in the house and the gas is improving. Was constipated took some mom and that resolved it. Miralax, and smooth move tea had been suggested on other boards. Trying them next. I have to check my weight every day for water retention. I 'm good as long as the numbers don't go up. Bonus when they go down. I'd been at a stall for over a year and up till surgery was going to cardiac rehab gym 3x a week for cardio and strength training. Had a good amount of non weight success dropping almost 2 pant sizes. Didn't mean to carry on so long, just wanted to catch you all up.

Thank you for posting. I was worried about doing good too. Sleeved 2/25. Been able to drink everything so far. Yoghurt was even good. Did fill full after buy not uncomfortable. Even pills are going for good. I'm 58. It's never to late.

2 days post op. I know it gets better buy right now I'm so sore. No appetite to drink shakes. Sipping liquids. Took 36 hours for my bladder to wake up. Had a extra night in hospital so cardiac teams could evaluate me. I had open heart surgery 2017 to replace valve and repair one. So they took precautions. I felt more comfortable in the hospital then I do here at home. I know tomorrow will be better. Can't seem to get warm. I was also told no cpap till 2 week follow up. So not much sleep happening here. Sorry I'm such a downer. Be well you'all.

Mine is too. We will be fine. Just breath and read. I've learned a lot from the different people. And no 2 of us are alike. The first few weeks are bodies are healing. Best wishes. Let us know how you do.

Miramax every night is what my PA told me. Slow move yes heard works good. Dilute some prime juice might help.

Surgery in the morning and I'm to excited to sleep!

Mine went over the procedure with me and let me know what clearances I needed.

Hi everyone! Monday is the day. Started pre-op liquids. Very Excited. I had open heart surgery in 2017 and figure this won't be as bad. Here's praying. I'm 58 years going and can't wait to start walking and then hiking. Hoping alot of my health issues will ease up. No more diabetes already. Looking forward to breathing better and hoping to shelf the cpap mechine. Looking forward to seeing you all here again. Thanks for sharing and teaching out.

Surgery is Monday! Very excited!

I'm 58. Being sleeved 2/25/2019 can't wait!

Hi Everyone. I'm new here. My surgery is scheduled for Monday and I'm so excited. I feel like I'm going to see my fairy godmother. Fix my body a nd I'll fix my mind. Wish they could fix my mind to but...know only I can do that. I was wondering if anyone else has a issue with sodium or had? Is it still a problem after being sleeved? Or it's not a issue anymore do to the small amount of food being eating? Or is this a question I need to address on another board after surgery? I have heart disease and have had OHS already so I avoid anything salty. Thank you for being here.

Hi I'm 58 and scheduled for Monday the 25th.

I'm scheduled for Monday the 25th. Can't wait!
