Anyone feel that the days following surgery seam just to easy? I had surgery on the 5 th and I'm still waiting for the hammer to drop.. No nausea, no problem drinking . Walking well. I have a very minor feeling of acid in my stomach but that it. Just waiting for the bad days.

I feel the same way, really lucky. I had no problems. The weight is a bit slow coming off though. That's my only complaint.....

Same here - I was sleeved on the 5th of August - feeling no pain, no nausea - a little gassy and some heartburn if I drink too fast. A little tired and easily worn out when by the end of the day. I've been getting two Protein Shakes down a day. The weight has been dropping off - anywhere from 2-3 lbs per day!! It's ridiculous!

Sometimes in preparation for the worst we brace for a storm. When the storm passes by and doesn't whip our butts we are left with the braces.

Leave them up.

Save them for the stalls and lifelong maintenance.

That's awesome! The first 5 days were the worst for me so hopefully you're in the clear!

I was sleeved on April 18th & other than a nearly full body rash a few days after surgery I didn't have any complications, haven't had any bad reactions to foods, nausea, vomiting, etc...knock on wood.

too easy????

i've had many operations - so the WLS itself, didn't concern/scare me

i wasn't too concerned about eating and drinking properly post op

things did go well with all (no sickness, vomitting, gas et al)

my concern from the beginning was always.........

"how the heck am I gonna be successful and not only lose the weight, but keep the weight off forever and a day

For me, once i reached goal 10 months ago - thats when the hard work starts...................

and my new wonderful life continues!!!!!

gotta keep following all those "sleeve rules" (Water, eating, portions et al)for the rest of my life - so i can keep my "girlish" ;) figure!!!!!

don't look for trouble!!!! :ph34r:

glad things are going so well for you :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
