Day 4 post op and I'm feeling pretty good! It is still a challenge to get in enough fluids but I'm doing it. Pain is a lot better today and I have gone about 8 hours between pain Meds. Definitely feel more tired than usual but I know it's from the fact that I just had surgery and taking in less calories. I am a little sore when swallowing but I also had a hiatal hernia repair so I assume it is from that. If anyone has any questions I am an open book.... Just let me know:)

Hey we live in the Dallas area near each other. My surgery is 6/9. I am using Dr.Kim. I've been on my pre-op diet since 5/26, lost 12lbs so far.

I've lost 8 so far on pre-op diet. Good luck to you meep! Txbrittbritt thanks for the update I picked up some biotene spray today. I'm so nervous but ready for Monday! I have a hernia repair as well so I'll let you know if it's similar.

So glad for you, TXBrittBritt.. Keep posting! I need the motivation I had to postpone my surgery because my back went out and can't sit or stand. So depressed and let down, but am seeing a back specialist on Monday (instead of my sleeve). Hopefully he can get me over this quickly so I can get on with my weight loss. I've decided to stay on my pre-op diet I hopes that wil speed up my rescheduling. I'm down 46 lbs. since starting this journey. Who ever thought a scale could be motivation?!

So sorry to hear about your back!! I know it's frustrating and a bump in the road but I think you have the right attitude.... Try and keep on your pre op diet and stay positive!! You got this!! I am sending thoughts of quick healing for your back! ????

I hit my first craving tonight as I was watching a movie with my hubby. All of the sudden my stomach growled like a lion and I immediately wanted something sweet!! A Popsicle did not fix it so I decided to get as far away from the kitchen as possible so I didn't have to even see food!! Seemed to help!! Pain is okay today.... My left side and back are what hurts now, everything else is pretty good! I actually went on a 7 minute walk so I was super happy!!

Update: Well I am getting a bit of cabin fever so I decided to have my husband take me to the grocery store. It felt so nice to get out but I only lasted 15 minutes before I started hurting a good bit. Luckily my hubby is awesome and finished up while I went to the car. I was kind of bummed because I thought I'd be able to be more physical by now; however all I can do is keep on trying and build up my stamina!!!

I am super happy that I have been able to go down to pain Meds only twice a day and just Tylenol I between! Still using the heating pad and pain cream and Patches too.

I word to the wise for Dr. Nicholson patients- try to make your post op appointments before your surgery. I called the day after my surgery and they cannot get me in until June 23. ???????? I cannot go back to work until he releases me so I will have to wait until then. I was only planning on taking two weeks off but now I guess I'm taking three. It's no biggie because I have short term disability but for those that don't it could pose a problem.

      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!!
