I am officially 6 days post-op and weighed myself for the first time since surgery this morning. I really wanted to wait until I lost most of the swelling. I was in a lot of pain and I didn't want to add depression if I hadn't lost anything yet.

Well, I have lost 15 pounds in 6 days! I cannot express how excited I am. I have had a rough few days, but I am feeling so encouraged and ready to take on the world! I am so thankful that there is a procedure like the sleeve that can give me my life back!

Praise God!

Grats to you girl.. We share the same surgery date :) I weigh every morning when I wake up and I love it. I have gone from 301 - 288 since July 18th.

How are you feeling physically ? I am doing very well getting my Water down and I drink nectar Protein shake, about 8 oz so far per day. I tried pudding but i chest quickly told me no, that isnt gonna work lol I think the pain will keep me in line for sure.

Keep up the good work , I will follow your success <3

Congrats to you! I'm jealous since I had gained 6 lbs after I came home from Surgery. But I did weigh again yesterday and lost the six plus 3 more pounds. How much fluids are you all getting in? I feel kind of weak but started Protein Drinks today and feel better.

That is awesome! Doesn't it solidify your decision? I definitely had buyers remorse for the first few days, I was in a lot of pain.

I have been on the treadmill everyday (since Monday) for about 20-30 minutes. Today was the best day for sure. I'll be back to work on Monday!!! I am getting really sick of the Protein shakes, everything tastes so darn sweet. What else are you trying?

I've been setting a timer and every 10 minutes take another few sips, that is the only way I've been able to keep up with the water.....64 oz is ALOT! My surgeon recommended blending up minestroni Soup and sprinkling parmesean on top of it. That was much more exciting then the shakes. I added a little unflavored Protein powder to make the Soup better for me.

I am excited about this journey! Congratulations!!!

I am trying to drink Water every 10 minutes, I set a timer and once it buzzes I sip a few times. I think today was the first day I'll reach 64 oz. It is really a full time job getting all of the liquids in!

What other liquids have you tried? Congrats!!!

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
