I guess I am in denial about this I don't feel anything different other than the pain I am feeling under my rib cage. I know I should at least feel a little different right? I also have an incision that is completely infected and on powerful antibiotics. It just seems surreal I guess. Should I have had a BM by now?

I don't feel any different either other than not being hungry at all & slight pain from the incisions. I haven't had a BM yet either. S/w my nurse yesterday who said this is normal. She sad to expect a BM 2-3 days after starting on puréed foods.

I don't remember who it was (sorry!!) but to the person that was worried about having the hiccups after surgery, I just read in my info book from my dr that you should call the dr if it lasts for more than 2 hours. Hope they've gone away and all is well now!

Hello Decembers!

My surgery is tomorrow, Monday 12/10. Nervous, scared and really excited now! I can't wait to be official postop! Also excited to read about all of you and your experiences!

My info says my doc is Stahl, which for some reason it is not allowing me to change. My doctor is Dr. R Drew.

Surgery tomorrow....Just drank the Magnesium Citrate that the doctor told me to drink...yuck! For those who have to do the same, word of advance.....don't stop drinking it until gone, don't do breaks between, just drink it fast all at once if possible since it is not a pleasant after taste, lol. I had the cherry flavor. Getting anxious now!!! In 18 hours I will be in surgery!

Boy, that pain in the upper left ribcage feels as though I was stomped on. Very tender and sore to move. Still some incisional leakage this morning but better. Nothing is infected.....just keep pushing forward.

Sounds like we are all limping along but everyday is a little better. Small baby steps.....

Doing well with diet and everything else. Best wishes to everyone else on their own personal road to recovery. Each one will be different so don't get discouraged! Hang in there!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
