Hello everyone, I was sleeved yesterday and all I want to do is sleep. First two days have been rough. I feel if they remove the catheter and drain tube I would be able to move better! Good news is I passed the leak test. I'm very weak and they been giving extra fluids. Please send extra prayers up for me.

Sending prayers your way! The first few days are rough, but it will get better. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Yum, pizza!!!

I was sleeved on the 10th and even with complications. I am starting to feel better. I was able to go see my son play soccer. I am just slow moving. Can't wait to have full liquids. Isopure has a horrible aftertaste!

I live in Connecticut. I do all my preop stuff tomorrow. Are you guys on Facebook? I love this page called bariatric butterflies. It's so awesome and helpful. I'm so excited. I'm ready for my life to start : )

I looked for this on FB and I can't find it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I get sleeved Monday, 4/23......last minute preparations underway. I should have bought the unjury chicken broth, I hear. I thought Jello with Protein would be better, but now I am reading that fresh sleeves like warm stuff.....

Congrats on your sleeve date! My sleeve didn't have any trouble with cold liquids at all. The first day postop, I could not tolerate Water, but the 2nd day had no problem. I did not put ice in the beverages, but kept them in the fridge.

Finally getting energy! Cleaned out my fridge and walk-in pantry today, made a grocery list of foods I can start eating in 2 days. Just a couple of days ago I called in for my 2 week post-op (surgery was 4 hrs away) and due to being so tired and the demands of my job (pre/post-op RN) we extended my FMLA til the 30th...now of course I feel better! LOL

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
