Hello All,

It's been one week and one day since I laid down a Weightloss failure and arose a Weightloss victor. I checked in the hospital Wedensday and was checked out Friday. I was unable to hold anything down and got very weak and dehydrated, so I was readmitted on Sunday and re-released on Tuesday. First couple of days were really rough, painfully rough. The overwhelming gas pain, the stomach pain, and the pain if not being able to make myself feel better with food. After the IV restored my fluids and pain meds comfortable, I was convinced I would live. My first day home, my sleeve buddy told me she was eatting crawfish and lying in the sun reading a book, I smiled because that confirmed I had made the right decision. Wedensday was the 4th, while I could not eat BBQ, but I did enjoy an apple martini and that made it all good, lol. Thursday , today I went for my 1 week visit and stepped on that scale, it was 19 pounds lighter than the day I checked in for surgery. By the time the doctor entered the exam room, I was cry like a baby and couldn't stop. Wow.... Instead of having 200 pounds to lose , I now have 181 pounds and for the first time ever it seemed possible. And possibility is a gift worth suffering for

I'm sorry to hear that you had a rough start, but I'm so happy that you have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, it's all gonna be worth it. CONGRATS on your weight loss so far. That is awesome!!

I was also sleeved on the 27th!! And your hospital experience sounds just like mine!! Except I was re-admitted. Although Im not getting fluid so it might be coming. I tried yogurt today & it was NOT a good feeling, but I know eventually I will eat
