You are going to do great! You will be ok. I went for a walk with my friend who had her sleeve done a week ago. She already looks great and went for a really long walk. My surgery is in 4 days so I understand what you are feeling. I have had a ton of nervous energy. Love and prayers to you!

I had my surgery on Nov. 19 and did not have any pain meds other than Tylenol because of my allergies to pain meds. I had incision tenderness but hardly any other pain. My doctor said I recovered the fastest he had seen patient recover and felt it might have been because of the lack of pain meds. So I know most people take meds but I couldn't and did great. Best of luck tomorrow. Just breath!

I am allergic to pain killers as well. This makes me feel better since I won't be taking any besides Tylenol :) thank you

I'm on day four. First day and second you'll need help but just keep walking around as soon as you can and sip sip sip. Quicker you get Water and Protein and get the air in you out you'll feel great! Day 4 and hardly any discomfort!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
