Wish you all the best! Just had my done last week and I feel great - as if nothing happened. Just be prepared for a little pain when you wake up from the anesthesia - or hopefully you won't go through that. Take care ????

When u read this is hope everything went well. Your first days might not be what u expected. Some do very well and have not much pain. Others have a rough couple of days. At first i felt great when i was at the clinic but as soon as i got home i felt nauseas. I kept telling myself i hate this, but now 7 days post op i feel great. No nausea or pain. Best thing i ever did. I even feel embarrased for being such baby but then again its ok. We are aloud to act like that after surgery. Reading this forum on other peoples experiences really help. Good luck

Well a little ober 24 hours and i feel a lot better than what i did yesterday. I didn't feel like talking or texting anyone, i had my mom and a friend come by and i was so drained and in pain that talking made me hurt. I also had a hernia where my esophagus and stomach met so my doctor noticed that during surgery and stitched it up, that also added a lot to my pain. Today I'm doing much better, I'm walking, talking and also just had my lunch..cherry sugar free Jello and chicken broth..yummy. thanks everyone for the well wishes i really appreciate it!! Oh one more thing when i first arrived yesterday i weighed 248 today i weighed 257.. one week ago before i started my preop diet i weighed 259...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
