Sleeved two days ago. I am home, doing very well and sipping and walking and sipping and walking...

I feel blessed as all things considered, things are going very well.

No pain except when gas rears its ugly head. I do have an abdominal binder on and that really helps with comfort.

So good to hear you're doing well! How long were you in the hospital? My surgery date is Nov. 25th and i'm wondering if I'd be able to, (or want to) see my family for thanksgiving

I'm having surgery on Nov. 27. Just found out today. Now I'm in a panic to get everything done before surgery. I know this sounds kind of silly but I love to decorate for Christmas. I understand that I will be very sore when I come home so I'm thinking of doing it before I go into the hospital. Anybody else think about this or am I just making more work for myself?

Hello-

I had a late surgery so I was in the hospital for two days. I am home walking and resting.

I would have no problem with visitors now. As for thanksgiving, I learned that we all heal differently and there were a few folks sleeved the same day and they were not moving as well as I.

It will really be a day-to-day call for you.

I know if you feel like I do, thanksgiving visitors will be welcome! That said, we are all different.

Best of luck to you!

I'm seriously thinking about putting the Christmas tree and hanging the stockings sometime Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday (my surgery is Thursday the 21st). I was GOING to keep with tradition and help put it up on Thanksgiving, but now that I see how weak some others are one week post op, and there only being 3 weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year because of how late Thanksgiving is, I'm thinking I will put it up BEFORE surgery. Plus it will hopefully put me in a festive mood when I get home and the warm holiday feelings may help with healing!!

I am almost 2 weeks out and since about 5 days out Ive been fine. I went back to work this last monday and was ok. I know everyone is different. I know before i had my surgery I thought I would be so weak and not be able to so anything for myself, but everything worked out fine. Good luck on everything!

I have never chatted like this before so hopefully I am doing it right. Haha.

Anyway I'm going to put my tree up next weekend I've never put it up that early but I want to make sure everythings done before my surgery in case I have complications which I won't. Day 1 of liquid diet and no coffee complete.

Very excited but scary. Hopefully I don't starve.

      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
