At my psychologist visit, she said to warn those who would be helping me post-op, that I would be miserable and regret my decision... but that it would only last a day or two. It will get better! Hang in there.

Hi, My sleeve surgery was on Monday, I went into it not knowing if I was getting the bypass or sleeve. I had a lapband that failed so there was a lot of scar tissue

Oh you guys, I'm so sorry you are having a bad time right now. I swear to you all it does get better. The day I had surgery I was a superstar, I felt great, the next day was the worst for me. Every day is better than the day before and just try to walk when you can, ask for antinausea medication, take sips, ask for med cups to sip out of and try to find something that calms and cools your tummy. I like bigelow decaff peppermint tea.

I was in the hospital for 5 days and I had some complications during surgery. I just kept reminding myself that each day will be better than the day before and it was.

My prayers are with you all.

I had my surgery on 6/11 and I'm feeling fine just have a lil soreness, actually wondering how long before I can have something different than broths.

i had my surgery this past monday. i was up and moving and walking down the hospital hallways that evening (i have a high tollerance for pain i guess) and i was released the next day after the leak test.

i must say, the second day was a b***h. hard to move around, pain, temp was at 99 degrees F and it was hard to drink an ounce of Water every 15 minutes. today is friday and i feel almost 100% better. just make sure you walk around and use your pain and nausea meds that you were given. most importantly, WALK WALK WALK. by the 3rd day, it'll be easier to drink and hold liquids down. you will see a difference.

in the end, it is worth it. when i woke up the second day, i was thinking, what have i done? its the 4th day for me and i dont regret this decision at all!

hang in there. we are all here for ya!

I just can't stay awake. I'm nowhere near my Fluid allowance and feeling really weak. Can feel every single sip going in. Can't do more than three in a row. I feel thirsty enought to down a pint in one go but I know it won't happen. The pain is more discomfort than anything. Just had a little walk in the garden and burped for England which hurts a bit. Dissapointed to only be a pound lighter.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
