I'm not gonna lie. The first 4 days in the hospital were tough. I had a lot of chest pain for the gas/air which I heard was normal. The first night was the worst. They have me meds for the nausea and meds for the pain. I was actually put in a room with another woman who Dr. Yatco did the sleeve on. My surgery was at 130 and hers was at 430. She didn't have the chest pain I had but as the days passed she had more vomiting and nausea then i did. My nausea subsided naturally I guess. I threw up once or twice in the hospital and I haven't had any issues at home. I'm mostly weak from not being able to get a lot in. I really have to concentrate on getting in fluids and Protein. And being full feels completely different then it used to. If I drink too much I can feel it sit in my chest/throat area for a few mins. My stomach churns a lot but I attest that to Just getting used to things again while healing. I have to push myself to walk which takes a lot of energy. Overall I think I'm doing good.

Wow sounds pretty scary, I mean the chest pains . I'm a little scary cat I would be freaking out. So does everyone stay that long in the hospital? That's a long time 4 days and are they sure the chest pains are from gas and won't lead to further complications. I fear all that I wonder is it worth it. I mean I want to be healthy and thinner but wonder if all that is worth being 50 or more pounds thinner? And 30 pounds that's great congrats you only need 20 more ?? What was ur starting weight? Mine is probably now 224 I'm short and small boned so when I lose weight my fear is I'm gonna look sickly. Well I hope your journey isn't too difficult. feel free stop and chat anytime and say how your doing.

Yes and I'm very scared and anxious and excited at the same time. You hear all these stories if pain gas and stomach noises can't eat or drink like before and I get a little worried ya know. I know this is what I want because although alit of people are like what u look nice curves are great big and beautiful embrace ur curves I feel uncomfortable that I can't wear a size 10 or smaller because my ass don't fit in it or the cute little bathing suit although I try to look on the brighter side of things and eat right and excercise just not enough.

      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...

      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
