Just wanted to say that I had my surgery on Thursday and got home today. Besides having 7 new holes in my stomach, everything went well. i also got to catch up on my sleep that I had been missing. Now the fun begins, as I am off solids until June 10. I can do it. :)bounce.gifpeace.gif

Congrats girls! In my opinion, you're on the easy side now especially once you're back to solids. Just remember to baby yourself as your body adjusts and get lots of rest. Yay! :)

Welcome to the Losers Bench! And I'm glad you are feeling well. I had surgery Tuesday and overall I feel good too. There are a lot of us this week. It will be fun to have so many of us who were sleeved at the same time.

One tip: I used a timer to get my fluids in the first couple of days at home. One ounce every 15 minutes. The nutritionist sent me home with some one ounce cups, but in case you don't have those, 2/3 of a shot glass is one ounce. I poured 8 ounces in a liquid measuring cup with spout and then refilled my one-ounce cup. That way you can lay around a bit and still get your fluids.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks everyone!! Besides pain from one of the incisions and overall muscle pain, life is good. i woke up this am with NO gas pain. i guess day 5 really is the turn around day. Good thing because I have work errands to run, fun fun.

Anyway, Ruby, yeps, I'm on broths, jellos, Water, juice, etc. They said full liquids, so every now and then I break down and do a thinned downed cream Soup. I need to change the flavors. I only have to do that until next Monday before I go to softies.

I am anxious because I go in on Friday to see the nut and see how it is all going. If I still have pain on this one side, I will see what she can do. I hope everyone else who was sleeved the same week is having fun and recuperating well. biggrin.gif

That's awesome! Keep us posted.. what are you eating now? broth, Jello?

Congrats on your cool new sleeve!:D

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
