Wow, I am 3 days Post Op and I feel great. I am really amazed that I have had very few of the issues that some are reporting. The day of surgery I was a little sore. Day 2 I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach but no worse than that. I also went out for a walk. Today the only residual pain I have is from one of the surgery slits and that just feels like a typical cut.

I am very happy with my early surgery results. I am down 20 pounds thanks to the Pre-Op diet. (I started at 335 and the day of surgery I was 315.) I am looking forward to my first follow-up with my doctor and look forward to the fill process.

As for Post-Op drinks and such I haven't had any issues keeping things down or getting my Protein shakes down. I am looking forward to mushy foods... Bring it on!

Much success to everyone on this journey.

Congrats to both of you! Way to go with the good attitude!!! I'm a week post-op today and still having a lot of tenderness in my tummy, but feeling much better every day.

Best of luck!

I too had anticipated a lot of pain, after reading for the past 6 or months, my pain never went above a 2/10! Very happy with everything so far! Good luck to you

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
