I was told one year out too. Your stomache is so much smaller that even a sip could effect you like several glasses would. You are also still healing.

I definitely felt that way! Now I had mental health challenges pre surgery. I am bi-polar but have been stabilized for years on medication. Post surgery I was miserable for several months, not totally out of it but definitely better. Your body goes through such enormous changes I was snappy impatient sad angry Regretful you name it. My surgery was a few weeks after yours. I still struggle my doctors says it's hormnes readjusting. Hang in there, it will get better!

I definitely had spasms but not much pain. Everyday gets easier. I remember looking at cups of Water thinking I would never get it down. The first time I finished a pudding cup was cause for celebration. Stay strong it gets easier every day!

This is gonna sound like bragging, and I guess it is....but for the first time in my life my waist size and inseam size in pants is the same number: 32
At my biggest I was a 60" waist, so this is REALLY a huge milestone for me. My surgery was November 2016.
Started at 485. Current weight 200.

I had a BMI Of 40 and many comorbilities. I'm in NJ and have Blue Cross. I was required to have 6 month supervised medical visits. Because I was right At the mark, I was not allowed to lose or gain any weight during those six months. I needed to be the exact same weight. The surgery was easy. Quick and easy healing. Only issue I had was with the anesthesia made me very sick and kept me an extra night in the hospital. Otherwise, piece of cake!

Down 48 pounds....going pretty slow...but I have PCOS...so any loss is still good.

10/28 sleeve, down 50 since surgery, about 104 since I started my own journey in July. I hit a mini stall and then upped my exercise. That did it for me.

10/28 Sleeve - down 32.00 since surgery but 62 since I began the journey last January 2019

Just checking on everyone. We seem like a smaller group compared to other months I'm down 42lbs. Its definitely come g off a little slower now. I am 3 months post op next week. How is everyone else faring?

Crazy! My doctor said nothing about red Jello. That is the only kind I ate it's amazing how different surgeons are!

I have not heard of PCOS being resolved by surgery. Type2 diabetes yes. I have PCOS and was told I would have it util menopause. I was taken off Metformin right after surgery. I still have PCOS.

I'm doing pretty good. Down 42lbs. Reduction in my blood pressure meds. I'm sleeping poorly though since surgery. My energy and stamina have increased greatly. I see my surgeon next week. Had blood work done today.

I was 10/28 but RNY down 55lbs

I am down 42 lbs too but my 3 month mark was last week. I am losing slower than I would have anticipated (I started at 346 SW on 10.1) but still happy to be going in the right direction overall.

Not true. I quit after a 37 year habit. Took mic test about 30 days later and passed.
nicotine is an addictive substance so I guess you could say we were poisoning our body much like most here were doing it with food

I was a smoker. My doctor didn't have a nicotine test thank goodness. My last cigarette was the night before my surgery. 😬 I will be thinking good thoughts for you. Whatever happens is supposed to hang in there! Quitting smoking on top of all this is a huge struggle. You got this!

Hello Crystal!
i am almost 6 weeks post op from the sleeve. It does get much better and easier. I remember sitting the hospital thinking what the F$&k did I do to myself! No real pain for but extreme nausea from the anesthesia. Everyone is different but it does get easier for everyone. Focus on each day at a time. Try not to overwhelm yourself and make sure you keep moving. It will really help in your healing

My gallbladder attacks felt like heart attacks then travelled to my stomach then under my ribs to my back. After it would feel Like I threw my back out. I was told that was a typical attack and I had ten of them. You may have inadvertently pulled a muscle in your side, could be gas or a few other things but best bet is to check in with your doctor who will probably run some blood tests and maybe a CAT scan to be sure. Keep us posted!

The gas actually releases through your skin. Walking and moving are the best way to move it along. Your body will be taking the next few weeks to readjust. Best of luck with the rest of your recovery!

You definitely need to call your doctor. They need to know you can't keep anything down because it's not normal. They will know how to best guide you. Good luck!
