Surgery was a success. My doc requires his patients to stay over night for observation so I'm still here at the hospital. I've been in and out of consciousness and am just barely getting the strength to text back some well wishing friends and my siblings. My abdomen is sore and tender but since I haven't had any thing to eat or drink for almost 24 hours now I refuse to take any pain meds stronger then liquid Tylenol.

My mouth is way dry but I'm not too hungry just way thirsty. I will have another barium swallow test done tomorrow morning to make sure all is well inside then I will be free to start sipping my Clear liquids.

Other then that I feel ok and am so super excited to lose weight and get healthy.

So happy your surgery was a success, mine too! I'm at home trying to get comfortable. I feel the EXACT same way u do! I'm not hungry, just thirsty! I'm not too, too sore - mainly gas. Been walking and trying to lay propped up. Breathing into this plastic thing (name escapes me) is helping too. 1 oz of liquids every five minutes is a stretch!! I've some coconut Water, premier Protein and Water.

Anyway, sept 12 will forever bond us! Let's keep in touch..... Rest well.

Yes. I would love to keep in touch for support, to track progress and stay motivated.

I wishi could drink like you are. I'm dying. Lol. Good thing the liquid diet has prepared my body for this fast.

My port site is Extra sensitive as well. But I'm trying not to concentrate on that. Staying positive will help us heal faster ;) i hope you get comfortable and plenty of rest. :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
