I’m day two post-op and struggling. Everything hurts. It gets better right? I gained 5 pounds in the hospital on IV fluids, so that is a little frustrating also. I expected this to be hard, but not this hard...

It gets better!! Hang in there!!!

I use Premier Protein! I prefer the caramel or the Cookies and cream.

My surgeon gives you one! I can’t wait to eat real food again 🤣

I'm 9 days post-op bypass. Yesterday I had my 1 week appt and I'm down 23 lbs [emoji4] I haven't been this weight in about 10 years. I'm already very excited that I went through with it!
I'm mostly meeting liquid and protien goals, walking my 10k steps/ day, and dr cleared me to ride my beach cruiser on flat trails.

We are post op Day 4. We’ve been on Clear Liquids thus far, today we start working in some full liquids for the next two weeks. Up and walking as much as we can. As of last night. He’s lost 14lbs I’ve lost 12lbs.

That’s great!!! I came home 5 lbs heavier than I went in and I lost 4 of them.

I’m on day 4! Learning how to deal with this new stomach. The only problem I have so far is dealing with pain from the incision that my stomach was pulled out of. I also made a “smoothie” earlier with whipped Peanut Butter, that was a big no. My stomach let me know right away. Other than that, I’m just sipping along 🤗 Hope everyone else is doing good!!!

I’m with y’all, but mine is my left side. I was also worried about not pooing, but now I’ve gone three times. I’m starting to worry a little.

My dr uses a 38F, I think he does that with every one.

I'm 9 days post-op and it takes me 15 minutes to drink a 10oz shake and I try to take longer than that. But I also know I'm having a pretty easy time with all this compared to others.

I keep thinking something is wrong with me because I can drink faster. The first two days, I couldn’t. Now I can. I broke it, my sleeve is broken...🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 but seriously, should I count my blessings or be worried?

I gained 5 in the hospital and have lost three of those.

The only pain have is where he pulled my stomach out. It is so sore and tender! I’m going to ask how big it was and did he pull anything else out 🤣 I also have the gas pains in my chest. Those are getting better.

I just had surgery yesterday and the spot where he pulled my stomach out, HURTS!!! I feel like there are muscles ripping and flying everywhere when I try to stand up. I want to lay on my stomach so bad 😣

So far so good. It’s hard to remember sometimes. I’m on my way home!

I’m day two as well!! And had a hernia repaired!!! The only pain I have is the spot where he pulled my stomach out. I have felt sick at all.
The weirdest thing is, my stomach will start growl and feel hungry, then it stops. I’m not hungry at all right know, but I want to chug a cold bottle of Water 🤣
Hope your recovery is speedy!!

I had mine done too!!! Luckily, my pain hasn’t been bad.
Hope you feel better soon!

I’m going in for VSG tomorrow!!! I have to be there at 8 a.m. 😳 so many emotions are starting to hit me!
Good luck!!

I’m the same way. I have been obsessed since I started thinking about it last year.

I think the sodium has messed me up. I haven’t lost as much as I thought I would have. My surgery is tomorrow 😳 I’m so nervous!!

Tomorrow is my big day!!!! I have dreamed about this for a long time. I can’t believe it’s actually happening. I am so nervous. If you’re the praying type, send me a few!!!!

I’m drinking two Premier Protein shakes and then eating the things that I got from him that I like. I’m not straying too far off. It’s around 800 calories, low carb, and low fat. I’ve lost 4 lbs since Tuesday.

July 8th 💁🏼‍♀️

I’m having surgery July 8th!! Getting the sleeve!

I have my pre op appointment Friday and surgery July 8th!!! It still doesn’t seem real. I’m so nervous and excited.

My dr sells us a diet and it is awful. I talked to a friend of mine who went to the same dr and she modified it a little, so I have too. I have been doing it since Tuesday. I messed up last night and am beating myself up right now. I have 9 days until my surgery. I am about to be so hard core. I have wanting this for so long and I am not going to get in my own way like I have for so many years.
