Here are my night before surgery and almost one month post op pics. I notice change in my face, stomach and hips. I can't wait for my 6 month pics. I hope to see some others post before and current too.

Indium47 u sound a lot like me. I still have a gas bubble stuck in my left side under my rib cage. And it hurts when i take a deep breath. I dnt think I'm getting in my Water and Protein, but I get to start puréed foods on Thursday! I still feel really tired. I dnt think I've ever gotten caught up on that. Sites are healing nicely and are almost pain free, although the site where they took my drain out started to ooze a little. I changed the bandage and put a clean one on and I haven't had any more problems. Also am finally able to sleep at night without sitting up. So grateful for that. I am down 13 lbs in my first week so YAY! Can't "weight" to see how I'm gonna look and feel in a few more weeks. Good luck everyone and God bless :)

ONE MONTH July 1st sleevers.....I want to know how your doing? How much weight you have lost? Are you abiding by your doctor's program as required? Water? I won't lie today marks 30-days I am disappointed in my loss. I am doing everything that has been required...I think because of my age my metabolism may be slower...discouraged. I go to the doctor on Monday...afraid my scale and his scale aren't going to be the same. While I am thrilled at my 22-lbs (since July 1st surgery) I see other people who have lost far more than me. I even walk 4-5 nights per week 2 miles......enough griping grateful I am loosing just feel like everyone is passing me by........

You should be very excited with your weight loss so far---22lbs is great! I've only lost 16lbs and had hoped that my 1 month weight loss was more like 25-30lbs. Maybe because I'm 51 I will lose weight more slowly? Anyway, my surgeon was happy yesterday with my progress and she just recommended that I try to increase my aerobic activity. Lets just be glad that we are losing, even if it is at a slower rate than others :)

Hi Folks,

Sleeved July 1st in Mexico. I' down 38 lbs with no stall yet. Week 3 was very slow. I can eat most things but I can't get enough Water in I'm only getting 36 oz in a day. I think I need to drink larger sips. Protein is about 75 g every day. I can see the biggest difference in my face. I'm sleeping a whole lot better now. I hardly snore now. Before I could fall asleep at a stop light or if I sat down on a couch. I had to take daily naps. Now I have the energy for a full day!

My MFP username is linarestribe.

Feeling a lot better. Have more energy can go a full day without a nap now. I do miss my espresso though! I am supposed to start sot foods tomorrow but my nut let me start last week since I haven't had any nausea or vomiting from anything so for. I can really feel the restriction now. Before sleeve I would have 3 scrambled eggs and 2 or 3 slices of toast but now I scrambled egg is PLENTY! I really struggle with getting enough fluids in. I am usually around 20 or 30 oz. I know that is really bad I am so busy at work its hard to sip all day. I work at a surgical center so always running around with patients. My husband reminds me at home if he sees me just sitting....he'll walk by and say drink baby! So helpful and supportive. so here are my stats so far. HW 304 Surg Wt 288 Current WT 256....32lbs since surgery and loving it. I can see a difference in my face mainly and in my stomach... I am very pear shaped. Husband says he can tell a lot more than I can. Said he can get his arms around me more!

How is everyone doing? I had my 1 month post op today and it went well. In 2lbs I will move from morbidly obese to obese. I thought that was pretty cool. I have been doing good with trying new foods and they have all been well tolerated by my sleeve so that I am happy for. I have only lost 1 lb in the last almost 2 weeks so I am bummed about that. Hoping it will pick up again. I hope you are all doing well.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
