Rockin' this sleeve!



Recommended Posts

I know that I'm only just beginning, having had my surgery exactly 3 weeks ago(July 28), but I'm so excited I just had to share. I'm down 30# from my highest weight, just had my measurements redone by my trainer and I've lost 12 1/2" and I feel great!

So far, I'm thrilled with the changes both psychologically and physically.

I think that Sleevie and I have a bright future ahead. The information and support from this website have been invaluable- thanks to all.

Nice to know that you are happy with the gastric sleeve surgery and are enjoying the changes that you are noticing in physical as well as your psychological being.It really helps to boost ones confidence to the next level if you achieve something which you set out to achieve.

Thanks to all of you who were kind enough to reply and/or like my post. I know that I have a long way to go, but I'm headed in the right direction and really feel as if I've got all of the tools that I need to make this happen for me. It's been wonderful reading so many success stories along with the people who were brave enough to post their complications and problems. I truly am so grateful for this forum and for contact with fellow sleevers, as well as for the care I've received from my surgeon, nutritionist and office staff.

Can't wait until its time to post some before and after pix:)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
