Hello all! I'm new here but wanted to share my experience! I was sleeved July 3rd and everything has been going great! I had no nauseous from pain meds at all And no nauseous from any foods! I am currently on soft foods like cottage cheese, string cheese, peaches, mashed potatoes, etc. I am very happy with how everything has gone so far- much better than I expected! 15 days post op and I'm down 26 lbs!

Well lucky for y'all! I was sleeved July 2 with a 13 lb loss since surgery and that was mostly in the 1st week! I'm anxiously waiting for the stall to get moving again! Congrats on your losses!

I know how you feel! I was sleeved July 3 and I've been stuck for like 4 days now and today I was up a pound! I don't understand. I've not had a bm in a few days but the last time I did, it was (sorry to be graphic) liquid so I don't know if I need to take MOM or not....my dr appt is tomorrow so I'm hoping the scale shows in my favor! I feel so disappointed.

We were sleeved on the same day! Alas, I have only lost half your amount....good for you! While I have not had any pains, used any pain meds, or had any complications...the weight loss is going slower than I thought. Looking foward to getting back in the gym.

I was on the 3 rd too lost 30 pounds pre op- and 13 post op I wonder if I am eating too . I'm sick of soups! They want me to stay in Clear Liquids for 21 days!!! I've had cottage cheese , Jello but what I got was this really home made style stew (all kinds of veggies ) and strained. It was really good. Other than that I am a mad woman!!!!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
