One day post-op. Feeling like a million bucks!! Barium swallow in a few minutes, then on to my first liquids. Hopefully out of the hospital by noon. I have so much energy. Pain is VERY minimal (only in one site of 6). Walked at least 10 laps last night and this morning. Showered, dressed and ready to start my new healthy life! I hope this journey continues to be uncomplicated. Best of luck to all of you that are sharing in this experience.

I have my surgery on Dec. 26th, so I getting curious about all this.... Any chance you feel great right now because of all the drugs? Im nervous about being sidelined with pain afterward, due to needing to get back to work quickly.

Congratulations! I felt the same way!!! I walked like crazy while in the hospital. Then when I got home.

Other than a few minor issues from my hernia repair I feel great! I'm 3 1/2 weeks out.

Wish you only the best on your new journey!

No really, I have a little pain in one site, but that's it. Gas must have moved out as I didn't have gas pain or bloating. Just finished my first meal and my tummy is gurgling and burping, but no pain. It took close to 2 hours to drink 4 oz cranberry juice, 6 oz beef broth, and 1/2 a cup of sugar free Jello. Just remember once you get out of recovery and sleep off the anesthesia, get up and walk, sit upright on chair. Move around as much as possible. I was pretty nervous about the pain, but it hasn't been over a 4 on 0-10 scale. Now I can say only when I get up it may be at 2, but as soon as I take a step even that goes away. Good luck with you surgery!

That is really good to know. I only hope I have such fortune.

      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!!

      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
