Well today is my first post op appointment. I can't wait to see how much I actually lost.

28lbs total. 17 since my surgery. I think that's a decent start.

I'm feeling very good. I never had gas which was surprising. My pain was managed very well. 1 week is plenty of time off (office) work. Being on full liquids really opened my food opportunity. I think I am an exception to the rule with how well I am doing.

We are driving almost 4 hours and I am going to MX. I just want to be prepared but they did suggest a heating pad and drinks for the way home. I am just worried I will not like what they give me. I know I am over prepared. I stay in the hospital three nights. They do three leak test. One during surgery. I am here in MX so far so good. The interpreter met me to go over the pre op but I had done most of it when I was done here two weeks ago. They gave me an antibodic to take and Ativan to help me sleep. Went the pharmacy and picked up some meds. Waiting for the morning.

Had my sleeve May 5th!

I haven't had any noticeable gas. I am very surprised. No bowel movement since Sunday but have only been on liquids. Not sure if it's normal or not but feeling better by the day.

Thank you. I hope yours goes just as well.

If you want it bad enough. I never thought I could do it but I focused on the light at the end of the tunnel,which got bigger every day. Good luck ?

Awesome good for you. My first full liquid was soupy instant mashed potatoes they were devine,lol. Only about a half cup you will be full. I started it Saturday. Sugar free fudgesicles are extremely delicious too. I'm about 45lbs down from a day before my pre op diet. That was from different scales though.
Good luck and enjoy your full liquids. We will get to chew some food in no time.

Today is 1 week post op for me.

Today was day one of stage 2 diet. I had a 1/2 cup of tomato basil soup and some soupy instant mashed potatoes. It was spectacular. It's been 3 weeks since I've chewed any food.

Had mine on Monday I am doing good. Not much pain except for the biggest hole in my belly. They used glue to close my incisions. Do as your told and you will do well.

Mine. Is scheduled for May 2nd. I'm on day 5 of my preop diet.

Mine is May 2nd.

Lizonaplane,
If you read my whole text -you see I added the universe or the trashman, it’s a common saying - that really just means release the burden.
You are free to think as you wish, the young lady asked for support in an open forum, don’t ruin it for her. This question was about her and her situation, not me or you. We are all on a mission and in our own struggles, have a great afternoon.

They have me starting on the 20th for liquid diet. I'm nervous too! This is actually my second time round scheduling VSG. I chickened out 2 yrs ago... But this time I'm gonna do it! Ready for change. Best of luck to you!
