Tomorrow is the day!

Well my surgery is in just under 12 hours now. I'm really nervous and excited at the same time. I really can't wait to get my new life rolling and get myself healthy! I'll post up as soon as I can with some updates. Fingers crossed!

Hey all. Thanks again for the well wishes!! Just got home from the hospital. Feels good to be home but my gas pains are horrendous. I'm hoping they start to get better soon. Everything else feels more like discomfort vs pain. I'll keep you guys updated!

Good morning guys and gals! So my first night home was a little rough. I'm used to sleeping on my stomach out of habit and I guess I went to roll onto my stomach a few times and I saw stars!! Otherwise not to much pain last night. Getting up from my bed is a little bit of an obstacle but I'm sure it'll get easier too. Just gotta take it one day at a time!!

Good morning! So today is day 3 post-op and its getting a little better everyday. I do however have what feels like a huge air bubble in the left side of my stomach but other then that its not too bad. My shakes are going down pretty easily now too. Well that's all for now! Hope you all have a good day!

I took gas x strips the first week or so. I also ran out an purchased a recliner. I too sleep on my stomach and still cannot-so the recliner is my new best friend. Also, I've taken sleeping pills to help me sleep and when I lie down, it comes right back up! I cannot drink/ eat or take meds 1 hr prior to bed time - the other night I was in severe pain taking pills and lying down.

3 days shy is 3 weeks post op and still cannot get my Protein or Water all in. But when I do drink water have a tendency to gulp down until full- and then scared I'll stretch my sleeve. Such an adjustment!

Glad you are doing well!

Well I'm 1 week post-op and did my first weigh in today and I'm down 14.5lbs since surgery! That makes it a total loss of 30.2lbs since I started the pre-op. Very happy with that!!

Wow that is great keep it up happy for you
