So here I sit Saturday afternoon 4 days post op. I weighed in at 295 the morning of my surgery and weighed 299 right after. This morning....281lb!!

My experience has been nothing but pleasant. No pain, gas has been under control, but I have been hungry. sugar free popsicles have been my saving grace. I am so excited to go from Clear liquids to something with a bit more substance.

One day at a time. I have been feeling so good in fact that I stood in line yesterday for two hours for my iPAD 2! LOL! Probably not one of the smartest things I have ever done, but I was determined.

So hang in there all of you! I won't say it's the easiest thing to get through, but I thought it would be a lot harder!

I'm glad you're feeling so good. I too had an easy recovery, first day I wanted to die, but second day was much better and 3rd day was off meds. I kind of feel bad for all those that ate still very painful a week later. A week after my surgery I dug my car out from under a foot pf snow (in December). Lol

Hello there, i am four days post op, first two days was bad for me, mainly because i did not take my percocets as prescribed, i did not want to depend on it too much. I started taking 1\2 of the Percocet every 4hours pain or no pain and i was feeling much better then. Today no meds and yesterday only took 1\2 of a pill. i think i am doing good so far. 258LBS day of surgery today 250. Just to mention i was 269 before i started my two weeks liguid diet. Therefore i am down 19 lbs thank god, Wish you and all other Bandsters well and keep posting.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
