Day 3 was so hard for me, but by day 5 there really is a breakthrough. Amazing that you lost 15% pre op... I lost nothing until the liver shrink started. My surgery is Tuesday... Good luck to you! You've already come so far - you totally got this.

I had a sleeve done yesterday, late morning, and I am about 24 hrs out.
My doc put me on gabapentin the day prior, and I had some dilautid in recovery. SO much LESS pain than I anticipated. I was about to drink Water and broth all afternoon and night with minimal discomfort. Walked twice up and down the halls... today am feeling well enough to get out of bed alone use the bathroom and walk without assistance. Had a tiny (1/2) dose of some narcotic overnight, more as a precaution, otherwise have been comfortable with Tylenol and torodol.
Good luck to all the upcoming surgeries!

That's pretty much what I keep telling myself too. I'm ready to get it over with so I can stop the second guessing and focus on making other positive, permanent changes.

4/27 sleeve. Can't wait. Trying to shop and plan for pre-op and post op diet now with only 4 days to prep.

Post op day 4...... 1st I got on the scale this am... down 5 pounds from morning of surgery. I only got 40 oz of fluids down yesterday. Today has been a little easier still quick pains that go away almost right away with most sips. I am really thinking it has more to do with the tumor they removed and the hernia repair my esophagus just feels really tight. I only took 1 dose of Tylenol today pain really is minimal. Passing gas but have not had a bowel movement which is a little concerning I am to call my dr after 5 days so fingers crossed for some action tomorrow. Only 3 more days of Clear Liquids then I go full liquids I have never been so excited for Tomato Soup and pudding LOL.

Hopefully my day by day will help someone moving forward I will post under post op. Thank you again for everyone’s support!

Hi Everyone! New to the forum. Decided after years of being overweight and uncomfortable in my own body, to finally take care of me. Have had all my pre-op testing. Passed everything with no issues. Hoping to hear from pre-op coordinator on my surgery consult date next week. Would love to get surgery scheduled by the end of April!
Ready for a better, healthier version of me! 😊
