I had mine two days ago on the 6th. Everything has gone pretty smoothly besides the pain, not from the incisions, but from the gas built up in my stomach. wow was not expecting so much pain from that, reached all the way to my chest and even my shoulders got really sore. That and the "power is off" type behavior where instead of trying to turn on a lamp and then realizing the powers out i think of something really good to eat and quickly remember I can't have it which bums me out from time to time.

Wondering how other peoples surgeries have been going?

yeah a few tips walk as much as possible and get GasX, other than that its not too bad and personally i haven't had any problems.

the 6th too? nice, I'm still sore from the bigger incision. I've lost 17 lbs since surgery so I'm really excited about that. I'm looking forward to being able to go to the gym and try to help speed up the weight loss

Congrats!

I had the sleeve surgery on the 14th and unfortunately I have been doing kinda crappy. It turned out that I had a hiatal hernia, so at the end of my esophagus has been even tighter. This has meant that I have had a hard time getting anything down. And I definitely agree, the gas was the worst part (I really underestimated how much it could actually hurt, OUCH)!!!

I can finally get liquids down now and things are slowly getting better. Does anyone have cravings for food?? Cause I will see a food commercial or smell something and I really want to eat it, yet at the same time I don't want to (if that makes any sense lol?). I'm still having a crappy time with gas being in my back but I will be trying those Gas X strips asap!

Since some people are further along in their recovery (I'm only 9 days) does anyone have any uplifting news that it gets better further along the recovery road?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
