Recommended Posts

I'm on my third day post op. I cannot keep anything down. As soon as I take a sip I gag and then spit. Doctor isn't letting me go home until I can get fluids down. Ughh. I just want to go home!

I have 3 days left before surgery! I've been cleaning, yard work, and packing for Mexico. I started Clear Liquids today. I'm getting so nervous! I hope I've packed everything I will need! I'm dreading the post-op negatives but looking forward to losing weight so my poor back and knees will not be under so much stress.

So why Mexico? I see that a lot and am just curious.

It's getting real up in here! I started my full liquid preop diet today. I had my lab work done today and my EKG. Then I had my last education class. Two weeks from today (25th) I will get my sleeve. I am so excited! I am anxious to stay in touch with all of you wonderful fellow sleevers and keep tabs on how we are all doing! Good luck to all of you having the surgery before then. The dates are starting to fly by!

Day 2 postop. I came home yesterday. I have walked every few hours. Still have gas pain in my left side and left shoulder. Taking hydrocodone liquid for pain relief. The biggest incision hurts esp when I get up and down. I also had a hernia repair( surprise!) the pain is less than I imagined. I have slept a lot today. Trying to get liquids in. Sip, walk, rest that's my current mantra. I decided to sleep in recliner with lots of pillows. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, one day at a time! I hope everyone continues to improve with each day

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
