Hi everyone, my surgery is this Friday, May 3. I am both excited and terrified. I haven't made it through one day of the pre-op diet successfully. I have cheated and I mean REALLY cheated every single day. In fact when I began this process my weight was 220 lbs six months later and four days before surgery I am now 245 lbs - this is my all time highest weight. What is wrong with me?!

Hi everyone!

Well, surgery was yesterday at 11:00 am and I was home by 3:00 the next day (today). Waking up from surgery was the hardest part - I was very nauseous when I woke up but that seemed to go away soon enough. There was a little bit of pain but mostly I am just uncomfortable. I just went for a walk (a little under a mile) and feel good ... just a bit crampy.

I'm extremely tired and still feel somewhat out of it but otherwise I'm doing pretty good. Oh ... I've been able to sip on a little Water and a little broth but not much at all. Sorry I'm not writing much now - I will write more tomorrow.

Hope you all are doing well!

Kelly

Glad you're feeling so well! The loopiness will wear off and eventually when your diet changes you'll get your energy back. Keep walking to help the gas, and gas x strips. Sip sip sip! You HAVE to stay hydrated Just don't push yourself. Now is your time to take it easy and relax and rest. Between walks of course happy birthday to your new tummy!

Ugh! While yesterday was great - today was very difficult. Lot's of dry heaves, extremely tired, and sharp pains behind my breast bone. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

oh no, so sorry you're feeling down! i hope it gets better very soon!!!

sorry I remember those first days! They are hard and I spent more than a few minutes wondering what the heck did I do to myself this time.

...Oh' date=' and on a lighter note, I have almost never failed at dieting. I'm a pro at that. It is the maintaining has me stymied

Good luck!

Just reread this. SAME!!! I have no problem dieting! It's maintenance. That's why I approach the sleeve as a tool as opposed to a diet. You can't quit the sleeve
