Hi everyone, I'm Donna. Im looking forward to making some sleeve buddies!

Time is moving along fast since my sleeve surgery on Monday. I'm feeling so much better than I ever expected to feel this soon after surgery. I did struggle with some nausea and ended up in hospital longer than I anticipated. I weighed this morning and learned I've lost 11 pounds already. Amazing!

I am scheduled for sept 3rd. So excited. Been changing my diet for the past two weeks so pre op diet didn't shock my system so drastically . I started eating slowly and stopped drinking beverages during meals. I have to say not drinking Water or Vitamin water zero was harder than I expected. Thank god I stopped drinking pop a year ago. I am officially suppose to start preop on tues but have just decided to start a day early for ease of my routine for work. I've already lost seven pounds pre- pre op. it's been great to hear everyone's experiences. Good luck all

Hi! I had my surgery on 8/12 too! I've lost 8.6 lbs from my pre-surgery morning weight.

I had some complications after surgery (mainly an unknown allergy to morphine that caused me to heave through 7 different anti-nausea meds). The heaving caused my sleeve to swell and be VERY angry for a couple of days. I then had limited intake because anything more than 1/4oz would hurt going in.

But I'm doing MUCH better today!

I too had a few struggles. I ended up in hospital for five days but it was minor. I just couldn't get my liquids in without having to spit up which was foamy. I felt like I had a wall in my chest preventing anything from going down. I guess it was a combination of gas and nausea. It cleared up and I've felt great ever since.

I found gasX extra strength works awesome for me, has definitely help lower the pressure in my intestines and made restroom use easier too.

      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...

      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
