Wow that is fast. I took off work for 2 weeks. Im not sure if i should have for that long.

I never had any type of surgery so i dont really know what to expect. But it makes me feel better to know that you felt good after that long!

Greetings from Northport in Suffolk. Got sleeved on 3/27 and am doing well. I did have a lot of nausea, for 4 days post surgery.

I am pretty sure I am not getting enough hydration each day nor enough Protein. I am on week 3, pureed foods only, and struggling more with the need for finding "taste". I have become somewhat of a fussy eater though (which is just the opposite of what I was prior to surgery). Some food is just plane repulsive to me. Looking forward to finding compatible foods in the next phase, soft/mushy food.< /p>

Hope we can keep a local Long Island dialogue going.

Thank you!! I did a psych and nutrition eval, upper GI, pulmonary clearance, endoscopy, 6 month diet history, lab work and cardiology clearance. I have United Healthcare Oxford. This time around for the revision I had a lot less pre-op testing.

      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?
