Thank you Cmt7831.... I don't think its the pain meds that we're making me nauseated because I was barely using it. The morphine kept me sleeping so I didn't want to go to sleep.. They have been giving me anti-nausea medication sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Any way I'm feeling a million times better today and waiting on some Water (YAY !!!) and for them to remove the foley.

Take it slow. The first couple of days post op are rough. Once they remove the foley, you will start to feel better.

Once they remove the foley, you will start to feel better.They have removed the foley and I've been doing a couple laps around the floor every hour or so... No feeling very bad at all. Now I just feel really bloated. They have been giving me taradol for pain since I wont take the morphine.

Congrats! Welcome to the losers bench.

Don't forget to walk and sip.

Thanks Nicole... I finally made it lol.... and you're looking good in your pics ...

Dr Rami Lutfi at St Joseph Hospital was my surgeon. One of the best in the city. They could get you on much sooner. I love my program and love my sleeve!

Hey lesmarie, I am having my surgery at U of Chicago and it is the best and they are so nice. Angela will be so helpful with any questions you may have. They don't make you do a lot and it does seem to go fast. Go to the hospital website and you can see all the information that you will receive. Just make sure you get everything done that needs to be done before prep because after prep you will get setup for your meeting with the nurse, do blood work, and consent & nutrition class then it will be time. I wish you all the luck. I am glad to see someone else at U of Chicago with me.

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
