Congrats and good luck to all having or had surgery this week. Mine was on March 1 and today is the 5th and I feel great. Gas is pretty much gone and insisions look and feel great. It is hard to believe a week ago I was still on preop diet and stressing about surgery! It all worked out wonderfully. :-)

Wow, great to hear you are doing so well post op! I'm most worried about pain management afterwards.

Overall, I'm doing good. I have to drink something every 2 hours. I'm experiencing more head hunger than anything. I just want to eat food. Today what helped was getting on YouTube and watching this ladies successful journey. She went from 290lb to 145lbs and looks amazing!

I also stayed over one night and it's a good thing, my kids would have been all over me and it's nice to have nurses at your beck and call. I was so nauseous the first day also I wouldn't have done well at home. Day 2 was a bit easier and day 3 has been okay. I still have a lot of pressure in my abdomen, but things are starting to "move" so I think in another day or two I will feel better.

Also, I started feeling really light after the pre-op since I lost 15 pounds (not really thin, but you know that feeling) and now because of the gas in my body I feel like I'm 9 months pregant LOL.

Stay positive everyone!!

Today was the day! Everything went smoothly and I was home about 5 hours after surgery. My throat hurts from the tube, the gas pain is uncomfortable but oddly the worst pain I'm having is in my shoulders. Sharp stabby pains but doctor says the gas can travel all over so I'm moving as much as possible and walking a lot, a couple blocks every hour.

In my head I'm so hungry that I'm wasting away. I didn't struggle with the pre-op diet but the past 2 days of Clear liquids has been rough. I'm actually craving a Protein shake, ha!

Had my surgery yesterday. My flipped stomach turned out to be a really really bad hernia. It's now fixed. I had to stay the night so I could be on morphine per Dr.

Was he able to do the band as well or just fix your stomach? I was thinking of you...

Not really hungry but feel like I haven't had food in a month. I still keep having thoughts of I want a hamburger or Chinese and am like where did that come from... I have been drinking the Premiere Protein Shakes they really do not taste too bad at all. The SF Jello, pudding, and popsicles help with the sweets cravings. I just miss chewing my food. 5 days to go I know I can do this. I am just ready to be on the other side.

Glad to hear you are on the mend on day 3, I'm so glad I am staying the night because my 21month old would be wanting to wrestle &climb on me. How are you coping with the kids on day 3-4?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
