I'm nervous but excited. Sometime I feel like its so soon and other times I wish it was tomorrow. I'm still doing a lot of research and trying to self educated as much as possible. I'm also still going through the steps got insurance and preop clearance but as of now I'm scheduled for April 15.

Ohio here! April 17th was mine.

Maryland here! April 17th was mine too! How are you feeling?

I am feeling pretty good. Had my post op Dr appt today. -17# since surgery + 3# before= 20# off my highest weight. I feel good about that. Nutritionist said I could chew gum if it doesn't make me salivate too much and I don't swallow it! I also asked her about the protein shots. She said they are a great source of protein and even though its not all whey protein, it is still good. Maybe a little less grams than the label says. I personally think they are gross. But added to ice water and sipped on throughout the day it can boost your protein.

I am ok to start couch to 5 k in a week.

I don't know how some of you are back to work already though. I am napping in the afternoon and still adjusting to the changes.

Having a little tenderness at the big incision. Some pulling too.

I have been walking everyday for 3 days.

How is everyone else???

Rookie. Sounds like you are doing wonderful. My post op is on Monday. I have only lost 7 #s since surgery, 3 # before , and 13# at my highest. So it seems to becoming off slower for me. Just need to be patient. Meeting all my liquid goal. I am thankful that I have a job where I can take 6 weeks off to recoup and adjust. I am still getting tired mid afternoons.

I was pretty much pain free, but started having some pulling pains near the largest opening. Nurse said its normal, kind of bummed though, I was feeling great. I still nap too. I have almost 4 wks off work and I'm so glad. I can't imagine going back yet.

I had the exact pain you had. Hurts when you bend or move the wrong way? That's where your dr pulled your stomach out of. My Dr said there's a deep stitch inside. It must be when it's healing. My pain lasted a week or so. I am a month out yesterday and I'm pain free! And down 30 total!

Hello my friends. I am 40 years old. I was sleeved on april, 3rd. No preop diet. Post op leak: Had to stay in hospital for 5 weeks. No loss during that period. I started dropping after May 15th approx. So it's been like 4 month I'm on track: I lost 70 pounds so far. I was a low bmi (35). No need to say how happy I am. Good luck to all of us.
