I'm exactly 1 week out today, I posted this in another thread but wanted to post here. I ordered a new scale and it came today. I haven't weighed in at all since surgery. I got on the scale today and OMG 339 which means I'm 20lbs down from surgery! OMG! I may have been a few lbs lighter right before surgery because they didn't weigh me the morning of but a few days prior and I was 359 and I didn't have a pre op diet, but still HOLY CRAP! 40lbs all together including pre op weight loss! Any regrets I may have had initially are GONE! I haven't been this weight since 2008 and it's very emotional for me because all I did the last 4 years was work to just get into the 330's range and couldn't- and in ONE WEEK with VSG I have!!

All you who still haven't been sleeved this is the best decision! It will be hard, but its worth it! I have not one regret today!

Fantastic!! I couldn't believe the 20 lbs loss either. I know the weight loss will slow down eventually, but this sure is fun.

Congrats!

I was sleeved on the 12th. Did 10 day liquid preop and as of today down 30 lbs. I can hardly believe it. I wake up every morning grateful for my sleeve and saying thank God I dont have to be fat anymore!

Got home from the hospital after being sleeved on Monday. I felt great but did stay an extra night Due to them doing the leak test so late which made me super nauseous. I was actually very great full for the extra night of rest. Having 3 kids at home I knew it would be hard. I did make the mistake of weighing myself as soon as I got home. I was UP 8 lbs. please tell me this is normal!!! I am having a REALLY hard time getting liquids down, every sip hurts

I think I am over the initial carb withdrawal. Feeling better than yesterday. I am working a 12 hour shift tomorrow and Friday. I just hope I'm not starving halfway through my shift. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

I'm having a bad day today. I couldn't get any Protein in other than chicken broth. I tried the Unjury chicken broth and just couldn't stomach it. I'm so wipped out and i have no energy. I feel a little loopy. Good news is there is no fever or pain, except a little in my incisions.Hope tomorrow is better.

I was sleeved Nov 5. Lost about 20 lb during the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. When i weighed in at my 2 week post-op appt I had only lost 3 more lb :/ And my blood pressure has been much higher than usual. I'm hopeful things will turn around!

[bajanqueen70 47]

Best of luck! I know it will go good!

Thanks BG...it went very well! Outside of the gas pains I'm really feeling wonderful!

I know how you feel.... I felt the same way yesterday.... No energy, totally wiped out. I was getting sad and frustrated. The best I can say for us both is it will get better.... And I bet both of us feel fantastic in a few weeks!!!

I just completed day 1 of the preop diet. I'm hungry and have a headache. I'm keep telling myself I'm in the homestretch. My NUT said this would be the hardest part of the journey. I certainly hope so. chicken broth isn't so bad, but too much of a good thing is still too much.

Two days post-op here. My belly is gurgling and trying my best to manage my pain. They weren't kidding when they said one side hurts more than another. It's e right side for me. Oh well.

Happy thanksgiving everyone. Sleeved or still waiting...I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
