Congratulations to everyone on their weight loss journey. My surgery was November 16th. My starting weight was 255.As of today I am at 201. 54 lbs so far. Dr seems pleased by my progress but I don't know if I will feel it until I am under 200lbs.

Hi all, just saying hello after lurking for a day or two. I'm so glad to have found you all - was floundering around on Google looking for answers and they're mighty thin on specifics. I need DETAILS guys!

I had a sleeve gastrectomy last Wednesday November 17 so I'm day 7 today. I have some residual pain in the left side of my abdomen - I've had a lot more pain than I expected actually but other than that everything is going really well. Super tired today but I suppose that's to be expected! Still on the emotional rollercoaster - full of optimism for my new life but simultaneously grieving the loss of my closest companion of many years, overeating.

I'm in Ireland so I will keep strange hours compared to you lot, but that's good for me - you'll all be here for me when I can't sleep!

Hi. I had my surgery the day before you. It definitely was a lot more painful then I thought as well. My pain is in my diaphragm area. Wishing you much success and an easy recovery.

Congratulations to you as well. My pureed doesn't start until tomorrow. The pain doesn't feel like a ball it is a sharp pain the takes my breath away. Sometimes it happens after I drink something Sometimes when I am not.

Hey, surgery buddy

Congrats on the progress. I was 232 preop n im now at 218. Do it seem like there is a ball in ur chest or it feels like a ball in ur esophagus? What foods are u eatinf as far as puree?

Thank you congratulations to you as well. I was 255 preop and am now 237.I don't start pureed until tomorrow. Today I had some light and fit yougart. 4 Oz of chicken broth and 4 ounces of a Protein Shake. That is pretty much everything I have had daily except more of it since Friday.No it feels like a pain that come on strong takes my breath away and leaves just as quickly.

Had Gastric sleeve done Nov. 16. Getting a really bad pain right below my sternum. Lost 17 lbs so far. Starting pureed tomorrow.
