Sounds like you are giving yourself sound advice. No one said the eight loss would be instantaneous and just keep on the slow and steady path.

Any recommendations for unflavored Protein Powder to add to broths, purées, etc? Thanks!

It would be so great to be able to sleep without waking up several times choking on acid! It is so scary to wake up choking and then having cough attack! Thank you

I was sleeved in 2016, on 10/22 had a revision to DS with hiatial hernia repair. 9 hours of surgery, wasnt sure it was the right thing but immediately no more GERD, 20 pounds down in 2 weeks, I can sleep. Wont front the revision surgery kicked my ass, but two weeks later i'm thinking it was the right thing to do

Why taking off? they cant make you. I pay way to much. They can get you oxygen from your ear.

Had my sleeve to DS revision. I was in OR like 8 hours. But I’m walking and takings sips of Water
and broth. Biggest pain is getting up and sitting down. Also had hiatal hernia repaired

Hope all went well!

I have anxiety bad also and just had my surgery today. Deep breaths and it's over before you know it. You've come too far to turn back now. You got this!

I had my surgery on Monday the 19th with a hernia repair. The surgery was a little over two hours with the repair and scar tissue issue I had. Lots of gas pain first night in the hospital along with some vomitting. I spent one night in the hospital. I walked alot to ease up on the gas. Drink but small sips. Jello and Crystal Light never tasted better.
any question, lmk!
Good Luck!

Mine is on Wednesday 10/21. Pre-op diet has made me feel sick most of the time & made gerd feelings worse. I have fallen off of it a little a few times but I’ve lost almost 20lbs in 12 days. I’m scared my liver won’t be shrunk enough. Also, Tuesday I have to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate. Hopefully that won’t make me puke. I’m extremely nervous and can’t sleep. Stomach aches all the time. I’m constantly hungry. Questioning a lot right now. I do love this group and I thank you for sharing your stories.

I’m going in tomorrow! Noon surgery. Hugs to the other October 19th surgeries. See you on the other side of the war 😬

ME!! October 26th

Had my sleeve on the 13th, and I really feel great. Was in pain for a few hours post surgery, but since then I've been feeling great, I can drink kinda fast and can already eat mushy foods

I had my surgery October 12, 2020

Just had my surgery and last night was a rough one. The pain was terrible. Surprisingly, I had no gas pain... yet. They’re telling me that I’m doing well. I switched from a bed to a chair and it has helped. I have re-evaluated my home care and will be sleeping upright in a chair to help with mobility. Hopefully, I’ll feel more normal in a few days. Very excited about the future.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Btw, I had conversion surgery. Went from vsg to bypass.

I am having my sleeve tomorrow morning!

Same here- i believe my original surgeon was just comfortable with the sleeve and bypass, and even then he just felt because of my age i should do the sleeve I knew i needed something else based on my research. I would have done one surgery and been done.

I’m getting excited and very anxious. Surgery is on Monday morning at 7:00 am. I have never had surgery before except for cataracts. Not sure of what kind of pain it will really be and feel like. Glad to have this forum to connect with.

I won’t lie it’s been rough. This was or is my first surgery so I didn’t really know what to expect. The pain has often brought me to tears . I am able to get some liquids down so that’s good. Just praying all this will be worth it in the end.

HI new here, just had surgery on 10/6

My surgery is outpatient as well. My doctor doesn't keep folks in the hospital/ Part of me is OK with it because i would rather be in my own bed.

Why taking off? they cant make you. I pay way to much. They can get you oxygen from your ear.

Today, October 7th for me
