Must have been a typo. It's not the 15th yet. How are you feeling?

Hi, I had my sleeve done on the 7th. Came home yesterday. The first 2 days were awful! But by the 3rd morning I felt like I had turned a corner. How come nobody talks about that drain coming out? It was horrible. Otherwise, I am glad to be home. No problems so far with keeping things down. I got a shower in today and that helped a lot.

I am in Wisconsin and in the middle of a snowstorm. I guess I got discharged just in time!

Hi doggiemama, I never had a problem with any drainage. But my second day post opt I was really sick and could not keep liquids down. My Dr kept me inpatient an extra day. Next day I felt fine. The only problem I've had since I came home is at night. Seems that u get really hungry while sleeping an I wake up in pain. I am okay after I drink a little Water. I am hoping that goes away one I get to the puree phase. I am in pittsburgh pa it is pretty nice today but that is to change soon. So nit ready for the winter weather.

There were two bad things about my surgery experience... the long panty hose things they make you wear... seriously socks would have been better in my opinion and then the drain coming out. It's a feeling... I'd describe it as an empty feeling.

Also, forgive me for going off topic but did any guys spring an erection when they make you put that gown on? I was so embarrassed by this. They said everything off, robe on... I couldn't get it to go away so I put my underwear on and then the nurse couldn't get the words out in English, then she saw why and just smiled and walked away. I know they were putting me out and I heard one of the guys say oh it'll go away in a minute and then I woke up with surgery done. At least I can laugh about this now.

I felt like I was going through puberty all over again LOL. So I guess we'll call it 3 things.

      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!!

      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
