hey everyone! i love reading about everyone’s journey and i hope youre all feeling well today ? it’s been a month since my surgery (july 3) already! i can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. no complaints thankfully everything has been going as smoothly as possible. noticing a little stall now but i’m not mad about it it’s all part of the process. one huge victory for me is i’m finally done with the blood thinner shots !! lol

you got this!!

i honestly feel the exact same way you do. i’ve lost 13 lbs so far and feel stuck the past couple days i’m in the same boat you’re not alone. we’ll get through it and lose more ! just got to trust the process ?

i had the same thought but i am so sick of shakes already lol (2 weeks post op)

i know everyone’s experience may be different but my surgeon said to start the diet they have (liquid- purée-soft foods) for a reason to make sure your stomach can get used to working and digesting food progressively. you still drink protein shakes while doing this

mine was 14 too just push through as best as you can and remember before you know it it’ll be behind you and you’ll be on your way to your new future! it feels light years away at this point lol (im now a week out from surgery)

me too! hope you did well with that

my surgery twin how are you feeling??@Faith23

my surgery twin how are you feeling??@Faith23

that was me! i didn’t even have nerves the day of like i thought i would. i think i was just so ready to start this thing lol

i guess not until my incisions are fully healed? not sure how long that takes. i’m doing okay trying to keep down 2 protein shakes and then other liquids in between. monday i start purée I’m looking forward to that !

day 5 and let me tell you all i’m sick of sleeping on my back ?

yes NYC

i’m home as well doing great minimal pain. starting to feel the discomfort of the largest incision, which they told me would happen, but it’s definitely tolerable. tried a sip of a shake yesterday it didn’t feel great so i’m going to try again today day 3.

yess !!!! we did it ! how you feeling?

i’ve had zero pain at the incision site just discomfort in my chest from gas pains and anesthesia but that mostly went away already thankfully! small sipping water, broth, and decaf tea so far so good. i’m so excited for everyone’s journey !

i’m out of surgery doing well

what are you planning to take with you to the hospital?

i’m monday at 730am we got this !

as the days to july get closer i’m so excited to see and follow everyone’s journey ! 5 days to go ?

i’m in the same boat i feel the same way as you both. my reason is for my health and everything else that comes with it is a nice bonus. just the confidence and comfortability will make my job much easier for me @FifiLux i hope you gain all the confidence in the world! im sure your friends don’t feel that way about you but i understand where you’re coming from

me too day 7 but how long is yours for??

ahhh surgery twins! same day as me :)
