Patrick, Hang in there! From what I have read, just about everyone goes through this post surgery. Mine is next week. I wish you a speedy recovery and for you to reach that "glad that you did" it point very soon.

Well I had an avocado and two dilaudid. What a mistake. I feel so sick. My arthritis pain is awful , a 10+ on a 1-10 scale. It was so bad I contemplated going to the hospital. I had some dilaudid pills leftover from a previous surgery and was desperate for relief. I coupled it with my liquid extra strength tylenol and then felt calm and sleepy. Woke up in two hours in pain again. This time I took two pills- 4mg total. I don't know if it was the avocado and pill combination or just the pills? I go to the rheumatologist today at 12:30. I need a painkiller that will not hurt my new little stomach!!!! I just want to feel better, I do not know how people live with chronic pain. I regret not insisting on getter a stronger med at my one week follow up from surgery. I have been in arthritic pain since the surgery. The surgery seems like a walk in the park now. I am sorry for my rant. I hope this can help just one person who has pain issues so that they can have a serious plan of treatment before they have surgery.

I had my revision from the bad to the sleeve yesterday after a 3 1/2 hour delay. I'm so happy the band didn't cause to much damage so my dr could do the sleeve. I started waking 3 hours after getting to my room. Pain is not that bad just sore when I move or first get up. Sips of Water never tasted so good when I was finally able to have again. No issues with it either. Now I'm just looking forward to figuring out my new stomach. Good luck to the upcoming surgeries.

Sitting here on post-op day 1. Lots going through my mind, but very little going out or in my body. Feeling the immediate "what have I done" feeling a bit. So I found this forum to help get me through these first days. Anyone going through the same thing? Encouragement needed. Patrick

Hi Patrick, I am on day 8, days 1 - 3 were pretty tough for me, no complications thank goodness, but tough due to all the meds, sleeping in my lazyboy in the family room because laying flat in the bed was a "Nope!", difficulty getting fluids, etc. It can get to you, but with each walk and every sip it gets better, each day goes by and you feel more human! I drove my self to my 1 week appt, I went grocery shopping on Tuesday! It feels good to get outside and feel the sun (that is saying a lot here in the Pacific Northwest!).

Two mantras for you:

Walk, walk, walk!

Sip, sip, sip!

Hope you are feeling better soon!

      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
