I had my surgery on Feb 4th, I have lost 12 lbs, however...i have not lost a single pound this week, feel a bit bummed out about it. I also went back to work a week later and that was fine, surprised at how fast I felt good. My pre-surgery weight was 206, today I am 194, been there for a week Not sure why, I even started walking on the treadmill every other day for 45 min, about 2.5 miles. I hope this is what they call the 3 week stall. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Just seems I eat such a little bit and should lose more. I'll remain optimistic though, I know it takes time, just ready to see that scale in the 180's already. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts/inspirations to share. Thanks.

Definetly not the Monday after a Friday surgery. I didnt come home from the hospital until Monday. I went back to work the following Monday and was fine. You will need at least a week at home recovering and focusing on yourself and getting in your proteins etc. Dont rush it, I would of taken a second week, but like you needed to get back to work. 1 week off minimum. Good luck.!

You look FANTABULOUS!!!! Congrats, I am 2 weeks out and so far so good. How much did you lose?

Wow, I felt nothing at all, my surgeon came in and removed it, was so fast and i didnt feel a thing. Sorry that you had so much pain, it's all worth it!

I had my surgery last Friday (a week ago) and went to my follow up today, lost 10lbs!! OMG! I cant believe it. My surgery went very well, no complications, first few days are a little tough, I came home Monday and every day feel better and better. Today I actually feel great, went shopping, etc. No regrets at all. The first week is a bit hard trying to get in all the liquids but it went by really fast. GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY. My surgery day weight was 206, was 196 today!

I agree, it is DISGUSTING!!!

You should definetly call your doctor. I am no expert, but I have heard that you can get a hernia post op, prob not what it is, but go it checked out for sure. Good Luck, hope you feel better soon.

I had foley catheter, drain tube and IV for fluids. Was no big deal at all and I am super queasy with tubes, needles etc.

I just had surgery on Friday and they did give me heparin shots in the hospital but now that I am at home, I am giving myself lovenox shots twice a day for 10 days. Pretty easy to do.

Friday at 2:00 pm... i am getting scared and nervous and excited. Accepting all good vibes and prayers. Is it Sunday yet? Hopefully will get to come home on Sunday if all goes well.

6 more sleeps!!! woo hoo, I cannot wait. Goodluck Feb Sleevers.

February 4th!!!!! 6 days and counting. I am in Los Angeles.

Surgery in 6 days, so excited, but really starting to feel a bit anxious. I am so ready though!

Miralax is the answer!! Amazing product, you can take it every day.

Hi All, I am getting sleeved on 2/4, cant wait, I currently weigh 206, need to lose 5lbs before surgery, should be easy, but I have this fear after all of this that I will be the one that only loses 20lbs, I am so pumped to do this, but what scares me is that I am not a big eater, just eat the wrong things. We can all lose weight on liquids only but what happens after that, I am so hopeful though. Let me know if any of you feel like this or felt like this. Would love to hear from any of you that weigh about the same as I do, how much you lost, how you felt the first few weeks after surgery etc. I plan on going back to work 10 days after surgery, I have an office job, not strenuous at all. Any advice, stories etc are welcome. Thanks for your support!!

I am so excited, my surgery date is February 4th! I even bought Isopure today to try the different flavors. The Fruit Punch and Orange are fine, taste a bit like gatorade. I was really worried about it since I have heard that it was hard to drink. Hopefully I can get it down. Anyone else having surgery around this time, maybe we can help each other through the process. My surgery time is 3:30 pm on a Friday, so thinking I will be home by Monday I hope.

Thanks so much for the reply. I am so ready! Did you have to have a catheter, dont know why but that freaks me out

AMAZING. I am waiting for my surgery date. Do you mind if i ask how much you weighed prior and your height. I am 5'2 and 208, need to lose 8 more lbs before surgery. I am beyond excited to do this. I am more afraid of the surgery (the first couple of days) than anything else. Emotionally and physically I am so ready. What was day one like? I have never had any surgeries ever, other than childbirth.
