Hi Hi Hi!!!!

I was sleeved on Wed 2-26. My hospital stay was one night and super easy. I have had no problems with liquids or keeping them down. I am not hungry. I am on Clear Liquids for now then advance to full liquid, smushies ect...

I'm not stepping on the scale till my one week dr follow up this thurs. My body has been through trauma and lots of IVs and drugs have been pumped through me. I don't want to discourage myself.

I'm having a little bit of pain and bloating in my tummy area but it is being managed by my pain meds. I return to work to tomorrow.

Just wanted to check in and wish new sleevies good wishes on your journey!!!!!

Sip, walk and peace ????

Hi

congratulations on your op & recovery, well done!

I am 8 days post op, was sleeved on 24th & I too am feeling good.

I have been on a roller coaster this week mostly due to bad pain management so if I could offer firer ops any advice from my experience I would say make sure your pain relief is paramount!

Here's to recovery & weight loss & all the wonderful things we dream for ourselves and our families.

Hi, I also had my surgery on 2/26 and am feeling great. I had no problems with pain, gas or nausea. I started passing gas on the second day. I did weigh but had been told by friend that recommended the surgery that you do gain weight after. When I went back in to have dressing change they weighed me and I was up 6 pounds. Sunday I was up two pounds from day of surgery weight, yesterday the same and today I am down two so am now 221 this morning. I found Premier Protein at costco which has 30 GM Protein, 1 Gm fat and 1Gm sugar and is really good chocolate shake.

Hi all, my surgery was also on the 26th and I am feeling great. I had no trouble with gas,nausea or pain. I started passing gas on the second day and have now had my first bowel movement which was normal. I did weigh as when we went in to have dressing changed she weighed me and I was up 6 pounds which did not surprise me as the friend who recommended me was up 9 pounds. This morning I am down two pounds from day of surgery and 16 pounds since starting pre op diet. I found Premier Protein at costco which is a chocolate shake that has 30 Gm Protein, 3 Gm fat, and 1 Gm sugar. It is very good.

So glad you are doing well. The biggest reason I would not consider this surgery was that I was concerned about the amount of time I would be unable to work (I am self employed).

Keep up the hard work! Hope all goes well with reaching all of your goals!

Glad everything went smoothly...I love hearing from people who are only a few days post op to kind of get a feel for how they are feeling and what to expect. Wishing you much success on your journey..and a quick recovery! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
