I just had surgery on March 13th as a birthday present to myself to get healthy. Only 3 days post op I'm know I'm having similar thoughts as I'm sure some do - did I do the right thing? I am feeling pretty good for the most part - very little pain but a lot of gas. I have been sticking to my diet pretty faithfully although it has been tough. I'm not really hungry just want to taste " real" food. I just keep telling myself this is temporary and will be well worth it when I can shop for cute clothes that will actually fit. I'm excited for this new journey.

Congratulations Athena!. I know it's tough right now and it will be tough for the next few weeks not being able to eat real food. Yes, it will all be worth it when you are able to fit into the cute clothes.

I was sleeved March 12. Things are going well for me too. SOmetimes its a bit uncomfortable to sleep but I think I walked to much today. Lesson learned. As far as the food I am still trying to figure out what all those noises in my stomach are. For sure the walking helps so much with the gas pains. (I just got tired out today) As for wanting to taste normal food....I am a bit scared. It will be nice to add foods to my diet though. I can relate. Hang in there. Jacquie

Welcome and congratulations! Yes, you will be glad you had the surgery once you feel all the positive things to come! For me just having the pain form my joints go away made it worth it all! At first it's overwhelming. But, once life settles and feel more normal WOW it's fantastic! This is the best decision I have ever made for my life! I am confident you will say the same! You will get to the point you enjoy food again.....l it will just be much smaller amounts! Best wishes!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
