I'm praying for you that your Dr can figure out what's going on. All will be well!!!

Yes I have anxiety too....don't want to stretch my sleeve. Making sure I get my liquid & protein in. I don't want to mess this up.

Non scale victory for me today..... I can take my Jeans off without unzipping them or unbutton them????

@Neka87 every POUND counts. Be patient with yourself. Im 5 weeks post surgery THANK GOD im doing well. Yes sipping on something warm will make you feel better. I've been doing that since I came home from the hospital & I truly believe that's what helped me GREATLY!

@Veejay sending love & hugs your way. We are here for you if you need us we are in this together. All will be well. PRAYING for you

@Lizrios THANK GOD you are ok. Elevate your legs & get some rest.

@Lizrios oh no. I pray everything is OK & they find out quickly why your ankles are swollen. Praying for you. Let us know you are ok?

@sharonwg thanks....we all are! Just the fact that we made the decision & took the step to gain back our lives & better health. Its a daily process......one decision at a time. Im praying success for us all here on this thread! I truly believe our BEST days are ahead of us!

@Lizrios however we can get it in?

@sharonwg no I don't mind at all. I'm always happy to share & help in anyway I can. YESSSS I am enjoying the results I'm down a total of 26lbs since my liquid diet of 2 weeks prior to surgery and since the surgery. On Monday I go for my 2nd post surgery visit with my surgeon. I'm excited about that. I've been on a soft diet and I must say it has been pleasant....everything that I have tried my body is accepting it. I make a conscious effort to chew EVERYTHING like 30 times before I swallow....I've heard horror stories & I don't want to experience that. I wait the 30 mins in-between before drinking my liquids. I'm determined to make this work so I'm being intentional with what I do. I also meet a young lady we had surgery the same day by the same Dr & we live about 30 mins from each other so we have developed a nice bond & we check up on each other 2x a week and share tips, struggles, concerns etc

Hi @sharonwg yes my surgery was May 9. It was Excellent! Thank God!!! The only complaint I had was gas after surgery & that lasted about 3 days. I was in the hospital overnight & after my sallow test the next day I was released to go home. I never experienced any pain at all....thank God. I was sent home with pain medication & gas relief and I never had to use any of them. Walking truly was the BEST thing to do to get rid of the gas. For the 1st week I walked inside my house & around my backyard.

I was not able/allowed to drive after surgery. Someone had to pick me up or they would not discharge me. I took 6 weeks off from work. My surgery was May 9.

May surgery was May 9th. Thank God I'm doing so well. I'm Grateful ?? I've had no issues other than I stalled about 2 weeks ago...but I'm still pressing on. I hope it breaks soon.

Sorry to hear. I'm praying for you.

Congratulations...
