And if you are post-op, can you share your status? (how long ago surg. how much have you lost, any complication?

I'm pre op too I hope I have it before Christmas but might have to wait till after one more Dietitian meeting on the 26 of November then the insurance approval then the pre op diet and I'll be good to go I'm 65

I am 2 days post op, having a rough time emotionally, and gained 6 lbs overnight at hospital from IV fluids. First day home was emotionally draining, could not get all the water down and no room for anything but liquids now. I hope this gets easier, I want to be optimistic.

Congrag on the start of a new you. Live in the now, relax and heal, drink as much as you can, follow the Dr's instructions and most of all take it one day at a time. The weight will come off but your body has to heal, this was MAJOR surgery and it will take time to heal, emotionally, physically and mentally.

You will be feeling good in no time but until then relax and keep repeating positive affirmations which really help.

Good luck you'll be fine.

I am 2 days post op, having a rough time emotionally, and gained 6 lbs overnight at hospital from IV fluids. First day home was emotionally draining, could not get all the Water down and no room for anything but liquids now. I hope this gets easier, I want to be optimistic.

I was sleeved sept 29. My advice is stay away from the scale. Have a weekly or biweekly weigh in. My reason to sleeve was to get healthier for my arthritis AND diabetes. Since surgery I am off insulin and ALL diabetes meds. Yeah me. Arthritis is still awful but I have hope. Let your body heal. You weren't born over weight. It will take time and adjustments to lose it. Be kind to yourself. Stick with your program. It will work.

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op, I am exhausted all the time, a little depressed as well. I returned to work part time in one week, but I tire very easily. I am still on puréed food but hoping after my Dr. visit this week I can start some soft foods. Finding it hard to get 60 oz of protein down and enough liquids. I do not drink the required 60 oz a day, but I try to get as close as I can.

Emotionally this has been extremely hard for me,

The good news, no more diabetes, the surgery went great and a quick physical recovery. I just hope this gets easier. Appreciate thoughts and support

I am 4 1/2 weeks post-op. Doing well just losing very slowly which is frustrating.

Two days post -op. Challenging getting in all the fluids. But I know it will get easier. I have chosen not to get on the scale for a while at least. Not much pain or nausea, just really tired. I want to start my protein but it all makes me gag. Any ideas? Hope you are all doing well in2015.
