Part of my support team told me that one day I would turn around and this would be just "one of those things I did back then" but because I didn't know anyone who had done any weightloss surgery, I was scared. I feared the unknown. She was right. I researched the sleeve surgery and went to the support group at the hospital clinic. It helped SO much to see actual people who had it done. I am three weeks post surgery and I just had to make the jump. I feel good and look forward to learning what my new body is all about. For now, I am just trying to adjust to food again! Good luck to you!

Oh and ps... I was about your height but weighed a little more than you. I know how you feel, everyone kept saying, your not even that big. But with the way I was going, the doctor said I would be in there 10 years from now but probably with diabetes and high blood pressure. And the one thing everyone always said was, they wish they had done it sooner so they could have really started living their life!

Everyone has a different experience. My day of op I was extremely nauseous, sore and fairly out of it. The following day was far better, just a bit of nausea (which subsided when they worked out which med to use). The next day better again :) And I'd do it all over again for the results I'm seeing

How was the pain when u work up and the first few days? Was it very hard??

I barely remember waking up. They gave me and antianxiety drug, which apparently is pretty standard here with surgery. Next thing I know, I was waking up in recovery. It was weird, I don't even remember seeing the operating room or surgeon... They give you lots of pain medicine when you wake up, I was scared. I thought it would hurt but it didn't, I slept a lot the first two days! I would say, the worst part was having to drink the medicine. It tasted bitter. That was about my worst part. I felt like a child not wanting to take it!;)

Hey Tina,

You will find so much support here. Worrying is normal, we just have to focus on the end results. My surgery is Dec.5. and I too am very worried. I just try to think about all the pretty clothes I'll be able to wear. How it will feel to comfortable in my own skin again. Good luck with your surgery I know you will be just fine.

Oh yes, I had three c-sections. I told them I got nauseated very easily. They put a motion sickness patch behind my ear. It worked so good. I took the last one off at home, as soon as I took it off, I got sick! :(

      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? 🤷‍♀️
