I had my sleeve five days ago. I feel really good, but it is an adjustment when you're around food, especially if you have to cook for family. I feel hungry alot, but I'm not sure if it's heard hunger or gas! One thing for sure, this will teach you discipline. Unlike before, if you eat something you're not supposed to, or if you eat too much, it is painful. And take it from me, do not eat and then go to bed. Yogurt before bed the other night kept me up for 2 hours with reflux. On the plus side, I have lost 10 pounds in 5 days and the recovery has been so easy. Good luck to you and if you have any questions, let me know. I am so glad I did it.

I think almost everyone has those same questions and doubts right before surgery. You just need to think of the reasons you wanted the surgery to begin with. I know for me just the thought of the quality of my life after surgery, kept me going. I'm just over two weeks post op, and getting use to everything, it hasn't been to bad, and I'm more excited about losing the weight then I am about regretting not being able to eat certain things. Good luck to you, and please let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Congratulations and I hope your surgery goes well.

I spoke with my mother tonight who is a nurse and was expressing similar fears and she pointed out to me that while there is risk with any surgery if I remain obese I will suffer more ill health in the long run and probably require more surgery, medication etc...

I worry about not being able to enjoy food as well as I love my food, but I will learn to love other things.

good luck with your surgery and I'm looking forward to reading your post-op posts soon.

Everything you are feeling is 100% normal. This is a pretty major change we are undertaking, of course you are going to have moments where you second and third guess your decision. But, at the same time you keep thinking about how this surgery can literally change and extend your life and the excitement of that outweighs the nerves and second guessing.

You will do fine, and we are all here for 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? 🤷‍♀️
