Hi All,

Getting gastric sleeve operation today...mixed feelings. Have lost 11kg (approx 24 lb) in 21 days on liquid diet before the operation. Have been craving all sorts of things. One way or another, things are never going to be the same again...could use some post-op advice on coming to grips with it from people on here if willing to share..

Thanks all,

Firefly2000

Good luck keep us posted

Best wishes!! :-)

Just had my surgery on Monday June 9th. I'll be glad to keep in touch and be there for each other along this process.

I had mine on June 9th I'm.always looking for buddies

Best wishes!!!!

How do y'all feel?

I'm six days out now and I'm feeling great! The worst part was the air/gas. Start protein shakes and a few other things tomorrow. First two days I thought what have I done but now I know it's worth it!

How is everyone feeling?

Had my one week post op appt today. Everything was great!! I had to talk to doc about my protein shakes making me sick. He said I could just use the new whey instead. Feeling good. How about y'all's appts?

I actually just had my surgery yesterday and am home today not so bad. I had the rny. Just a little pain in my stomach and A bloating feeling. Other than that I'm fine. Started full liquids today. Walking does help the pain.

Let's start this journey! Good luck everyone!

So glad your feeling well!

Waiting to be transferred to the operating theatre!!!

Best wishes and please beware of that first meal after the surgery. I had a real bad experience because the RN that was assigned to me was not properly trained. Ask for a small cup about 30 ml and use that at first. I had 4 spoon fills of broth and a drink of lemonade and it hurt so bad. Hope u have better luck but please take it easy on that first meal.
