Hang in there for those still waiting on surgery this week! It is great on the other side - besides the gas pain - mine is almost gone.

FYI - I had diarrhea before surgery and after - so much liquid!

I really have no pain from surgery except the incision when I move a certain way.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow, you're only a day away....

Less than 24 hours till I check in to the hospital... So excited for this next chapter in my life to begin. I had a dream I was already post-op last night so I am beyond ready.

So glad to hear everyone is doing so well who has been sleeved this week.

Hey sleevers, i had surgery on Monday. I was only on a pre op diet for one day...clear liquids only. It's now day two post op and i am finally feeling better. Gas is passing more freely, i am satisfied with my liquid drinks, not hungry and it is easy to get my liquid requirements in because i don't feel sick. My doctors were excellent and my sleeve is great!

Can`t believe how well it went.None of the problems they were expecting from my band scarring(had it removed as an emergency last year) Have had virtually no pain not even gas pain.This 65 year old can`t believe her luck am a bit tired but nothing a night in my own bed won`t fix bless you all.pippinleicester.

Had surgery this morning at 9 and I'm feeling really good

Except for the fact that I can have NOTHING by mouth today and I feel like I'm a cotton ball :-)

Pain is very manageable and I haven't been using my pump much.

I've gotten up and down several times!

I feel AWESOME so far.

I had mine this morning too! I agree, pain is manageable and improves by the hour. It has been helping to het up and walk and to change positions in bed. I am fortunate that my Dr lets me take sips of Water or Protein Clear Liquids. About 2oz every 15 minutes while I am awake. Can't believe it's done! Best wishes to you and everyone else on here!

All of the doctors are different! I wish I could have something but I'm being good and resisting going to the sink for a drink!

      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.
