Recommended Posts

I will be getting sleeved on Wednesday and I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Goodness, this forum keeps me sane for the most part. It so encouraging to read the successes of others and to gain some insight into the road that lies before me.

I am right there with you! I will be going in at 6:30 Wednesday and hopefully in the OR at 8:30. This forum has been an amazing support tool for me. Youtube has helped too. It is so cool watching someone from week 1 postop to 1 year anniversary.

Exciting!!! Honestly, I am a BIG baby. I was so nervous practically beside myself with fear. You are sore but really it was not that bad. I had 2 C-sections, and not as bad as that. The worst part is the first 2-3 days but you have drugs so it helps. I took a week off of work and returned to my desk job with no problems. The hardest part for me is getting the Protein in the first week but after day 4 it got easier. I had slight nausea after but I never through up. I know everyone has a different recovery but as a whimp, I did good. I do have to say that this is a HUGE change in my life. It has been a little hard watching others eat and enjoying food. It has gotten to the point of tears a couple of times. Do I regret it??? Absolutely not. I have lost 20 pounds and my clothes are fitting soooo good. I just have to keep reminding myself what the goal is. Good luck!!

You will all be just fine, the biggest part of it all was making the decision to go through with it, the surgery is the easy part. Its the little things you will appreciate that will make this all worth while. I could only play with my children for 5 minutes at a time before, now they get tired before I do lol. We all have a story of why we were fat, everyone's is different but the day your life restart's is on that operating table. Take it from someone that was 408 and now 285. Diabetes-gone, high blood pressure-gone, lack of energy-gone. It will still take hard work on your part afterwards but it is all worth ever dollar spent...

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
