Hey all. I am doing well. No nausea, no real pain. My abdomen is just VERY sore like I excercised too damn long. I just woke up from a great nap. I haven't slept that good in years. I feel awesome now. I walked a total of 1 mile today. I just went real slow. I have no trouble with keeping Water or broth down. So far so good, I'm only 2 days post op, so I will keep you guys posted.

Hi Guys!

I'm getting sleeved on the 27th! My doctor didn't put me on a pre-op diet.. so i'm eating everything that I think i'm going to miss. I need to stop.. im overdoing it. :-( I do have to be on Clear Liquids the day before.. lets see how that goes.

@@BijouxBelles my only advice is to eat light the day before. You don't want to feel super hungry the next day. I kind of ate most of my favorite foods the last week as well.

My doc calls it the last supper. I did the same thing.

I was on stage II diet pre-op for one day, clears the day before and had surgery on May 19th. Surgery went well. I have an awesome doc! Home the next day. Off of pain meds except liquid Tylenol two days after surgery. I have had lots of gas pain, burps, and site discomfort, but considering my stomach was cut down to the size of an egg...amazing. I did great on the sugar free clears but REALLY tired. Crashed today. Feel amazingly better after a Stage II lunch and dinner. Less talking stomach, less pain, less gas. Crazy. I have lost 4.3 lbs since surgery 4 days ago. It does get better. Planning on going back to work on 6/2.

My surgery is May 27th. I am glad my doctor put me on a two-week pre op diet. I got the caffeine headache over with. I got the head hungry over with. It took me 4 days to detox from all the crappy food. The 5th day and on i have felt sooo much better. I am ready to rock the sleeve.

I am on the 9th day of the liquid diet, surgery on the 29th. I feel fine after the headaches and hunger went away. The first couple of days I lost 8 pounds from retained Water...after that it has been a half pound a day until the last couple of days where it seems to have stabilized. I am hoping the weight loss comes after the sleeve...My body is just too darned efficient! :)

I have not cheated at all either.

Hello,

We were sleeved 2 days ago on the 21st. Still on liquids but no hunger pains. We were able to start Protein today and that gave us quite a burst of energy. The pain is manageable and things seem to be going well. I'm 48 with a starting weight of 281. She's 45 with a starting weight of 251. We're both 3-5 pounds over the starting weight due to the fluids. Looking forward to next week when the pounds start coming off!

We are walking for about 10 minutes every 3-4 hours. Then we are resting. Make sure to keep up with your pain meds. It makes all the difference. How far out are you?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
