I was sleeved last Tuesday, and was on my way home by Thursday. My first week was a little harder than what I expected because 5 days after surgery my period arrived and it left me so drained. This cycle kicked my butt, harder than surgery. Nevertheless, today is my 8th day post op and I feel great, the only thing I don't like is that I feel full all the time, but I know its because my poor tummy is still recovering. I've had gas pain, and been nauseaous, but I don't regret this decision for a minute. Cheers to a new life!!! :biggrin2:

Congratulations! And welcome to the new you!

I felt full all the time too, but that is wearing off. Every day is better and better!

Congradulations to your new found chance at health and well-being!

My period is due to arrive around my surgery date. I am scared and would be embarrassed if it started on during surgery. Good luck on your journey.....

Thank you all =)

Paola, What kind of pre op diet were you following? 44 lbs in 4 mos is awesome!

From September to the en on October I was eating only veggies and meat, it was all cooked with as little fat as possible. All of November and December I was on Protein shakes 1-2 a day (no carbs in them) and 1 meal at night. The meal was the same as the previous months, veggies and meat.

Congrats,

I'm in the begining stage of my 6 month diet and cant wait!!!!!

Congrats Paola! Welcome to the family!

Congrats and I second that your pre-op weight loss was fantastic! Amazing job sticking that out for so long!!
