Hello

My day is the 2nd of February kind of anxious & excited at the same time.

Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset!

Ignore him - it may be the first negative comment but unfortunately probably not the last :-(

Hold your head high and know that you are making the right decision for YOU and nobody else!

Plenty of people out there who think far too highly of their own opinion. You have to trust that you made the right decision for yourself. I bet in a years time, when you have lost plenty of your weight he will be singing a different tune

Tell him to suck it! Or if you want to be more polite, just ignore him.

I was sleeved 1/5 as well. How is everyone doing?

I have had no pain /nausea / or gas issues....just very sore. I am having a hard time getting in my fluids and Protein,.......I'm just not hungry or thirsty AT ALL. Sigh.

I am still doing my best though.

I had to get some milk of magnesium tonight as I have not had a BM since day of surgery.... anyone else with this problem?

[Redefined 37]

I haven't had a BM yet either. I'm calling my doctor's office tomorrow.

Had Surgery Jan 6th….Everything is going smoothly the large incision still tender getting up and down and stretching does feel to good. Gas has been going away that was the worst pain for me personally. How are everyones post op meal plans i know each dr or hospital has different…I'm on Clear Liquids for this first week…now I'm about to move to full liquids for week 2 and 3 (means i get yogurt, cream Soup, thin sliced mashed potatoes, oatmeal)….cant wait until my 4th week for some actual food
