I was sleeved 4 days ago. I was one of the unusual ones. I was very calm, very ready for the surgery. My blood pressure was perfectly normal, oddly enough! It hadn't been normal for 3 years.

Do as the medical team tells you and do it to the best of your ability. Not everyone has a great experience after surgery. Walking the first time is going to feel like they are asking you to climb Mount Rushmore and kiss Lincoln's nose. In two hours, it'll be easier.

Manage your pain first. If you don't, everything else will be harder. Don't try to suck it up and think you can do it on your own. It will only make it harder.

One day at a time. It's all you can do. You will do well! Just remember, this is my opinion and my experience. Every single sleeve is different.

Hang in there and take a deep breath.

I'm 11 days put.. Each day gets easier. My body reminds me once in a while I had major surgery. I feel pretty darn good. Learn something new everyday. Just remember this is your journey and each of ours is different. I've lost 11 pounds. I walk everyday. That's the one thing I can say you really need to make yourself do. You will feel better for it in the long run! Good luck!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
