Aloha Everybody,

A quick update on my surgery. My surgeon said everything went really well. He was extremely happy with my sleeve and I seem to be recovering faster than the other two patients that were scheduled that day. I didn't have a single incision. He tried to do it through my belly button, but I guess the way my "belly flap" was it was causing problems...so I have 3 little incisions under my left breast. It is very small and doesn't bother me very much.

The pain is getting better, but I have to admit I thought it would be easier. It was easier in the hospital when they could just inject morphine through my iv. Now, I have to down the liquid vicodin I was prescribed. I don't know how everyone consumes the Protein, Water, and meds. I can barely get down any of it. I am trying real hard too. I can say that every day is 10x better than the last. My belly still hurts, but it is tolerable. I am barely taking the vicodin anymore...probably more because I have to drink it than anything else.

As far as nausea goes, I've only thrown up a couple times. It wasn't because of drinking. I think it was because the phlegm lingering in my throat. I am very careful because vomiting hurts and I don't want to do it...ever!

All is well I would say. I know it will be worth it.

I'm glad everything went well! Congratulations on your journey!

I don't have suggestions for the pain as I a lucky one. Walking is essential to alleviate the gas.

Good luck!

Congratulations! Sorry, I'm no help with the pain either; I never had any pain. The first week was the hardest for me; so hang tough. You will do great!

      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.

      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...
