I really can't stress enough at this point how happy I am about my choice. I know there is a lot of recovery left. But so far it has been better than I hoped for.

Congratulations pasquini on your new sleeve!

Holy cow! Congratulations! 28 lbs already? That included the 3-day liquid diet, surgery and recovery days, and a couple of days home and nothing else? That's amazing! Is that normal? I'm still scheduled for this Friday, and scared to death but extremely excited too.

BTW, my sis who had gastric bypass about a year ago highly recommends consignment shops once your weight gets lower and settles a bit - if you need nice clothes for work or special events. Excited to join you in the losing process and check it out for myself!

Well, I did a 5 day full liquid, then 3 days clear only then surgery 6 days ago. But yes that fast. I have no idea if it is normal. I will say I have not sat still since the second day after surgery. And since I got home Friday I have been up and going all day everyday.

Take it easy pasquini. You just had major surgery. Make sure you don't lift anything over 10 (ish) pounds for at least a month post op or you risk damage inside. I'm glad you're feeling so good!

Well, I am not getting enough of anything in. I am struggling to get enough liquid and protien in. 30-35 oz is the most I have gotten in on any day. And until today 20 gems protien. Though today I have gotten 30 gr Protein in. But my liquids have suffered. Fortunately I have not been tired or anything. :)

You are doing so awesome!! When you say you are having trouble getting the liquid in, is it due to the restriction, the taking the time to do it, or does it cause you pain or discomfort to drink?? I am just 4 days post-op and not having problems getting the liquid in. I have tried different temps and different flavors to give me some variety. Protein, I am not doing as well, but trying to get in as much as I can. Congrats on the 28 lbs!!!:becky:

:hippie:

      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?
