Hi Deb. Good luck on your surgery next week I will pray for you. I used to live in MD for 15 years now I'm back in NY. I had my surgery last Tuesday May 12th. So I'm now 4 days postop. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was very nervous and scared the day of my surgery. My surgery was Tuesday and I was back home on Wednesday. I had some soreness the first three days and was taking the pain meds they gave me. Today I woke up feeling a lot better. I have no problems drinking. You have to keep hydrated so I'm sipping Water all day. I was lucky because I could keep food down so my doctor put me on soft foods when I left the hospital. My mom also took me and I went home with her I too live alone. Today I'm going back home I'm starting to feel better and need to get back to my routine.

I still have one more week off from work to recover. You will be fine. Keep in mind why you doing this. Good luck. Keep in touch with how things are going.

My sleeve is scheduled for this Wednesday, May 20th and I cannot wait! I was put on a 1 week pre-op diet and it hasn't been as awful as I imagined. I think it's because I know what the end goal is! :)

I had my sleeve done on May 7th! So I'm 1p days post op today! Lost 22 pounds. I sometimes regret this decision I made. But it is done so I'm just going through what needs to be done.

Is there anyone in Kentucky, Indiana or Tennessee getting sleeved?

I live in Tennessee, and was sleeved on May 12th in Nashville.

I went to the grocery store today to shop for my post-op diet. OMG!! All I could think of when I was in the store and looking at things was "well I will never get to eat that again..." "I wish I had eaten that before getting on the pre-op diet..." "how will I live without eating those again?"

What an ordeal! Has anyone else experienced this? It made me want to cancel my surgery!

Help - comments appreciated.

I was feeling sorry for myself too! Don't worry! You can still eat some of it just a ton less than before! And other things you like try to find healthier versions! Make it a game!

This is my first time posting. My surgery is tomorrow, May 18th and I am totally terrified! I didn't have to do a diet before the surgery and I don't understand how I won't be hungry after the surgery. Can anyone explain this to me? I have so many fears about being able to stay on the diet after surgery because I know my whole life is going to change. Any others going in tomorrow, May 18th?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
