How are all of you early June Sleevers doing???

Are you June 5th Sleevers ready? I'm SO ready to get this over with. Not looking forward to any pain but, no pain no gain, or lose in this case I guess. Well, good look to everyone!

I'm about 18 hours out. Things aren't too bad. I don't have any drains in and I've been up and walking just fine. I'm most sore when I try to get up. I've had quite a few bouts of nausea but they've been quick with the zofran when I need it. I also have an anti-nausea patch on so that's helped, too. All in all I feel pretty good, considering.

Hey all,

Surgery went well. Pain was tolerable and managed. I walked every hour 3 laps of the hospital. The staff were really positive. My Dr. released me yesterday. He said all you have to worry about the next 2 weeks is walk. ,get my Protein in , Hydrate and he even told me to add a little cottage cheese into my diet. No problems getting my fluids and Protein down. The sleeve lets me know when I'm getting full and I set things down until I can sip again.

I'm off my cholesterol medication

I'm taking so much less of my insulin

Glad to be back home!

Jenn

Well, I've had 2 meals on Clear Liquids and they think I'm doing so well that I get to go on full liquids for dinner! Also, probably going home tonight. :D Other than being super sore, I feel great and am surprised at how well my recovery is going.

My surgery is on June 10th. I am so afraid that part of me want to back out, but i know that i cannot. I have 4 daughters and the youngest is 4 years old. I am so scared about the dangers of surgery. How are you post-ers feeling? what has been the most challenging part of your recovery?

I'm June 10, too. Had my preop yesterday an I feel much more relaxed after talking with the doc. Hang in there - we will both be on our road to skinny soon!

      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.
