I'm from South jersey in pre-op stages. Curious if any of you met up? How's life after being sleeved? Is it easier having other friends who have had the surgery?

Hi , yes I'm in colts neck, on 2/12/16 it will be 2 years and yes plenty of advice , you need help , at the beginning you can't do it alone. And as soon as you can get out there and start walking. Cause the most weight loss I had was right after the surgery cause you don't eat at all. You don't even want to eat. And your not hungry so use that to your benefit.

I lost about a pound a day it was to the point to where I was getting worried that I wouldn't stop losing weight but it eventually levels off some days you lose now some days you don't but I'm never really gaining any

Bergen County here! :) 1 1/2 years out and this weather (staying indoors more) has made me more head hungry. Its been such a battle! It seems like the past 6 months ive fluctuated up and down the same 6-8 pounds. I work out 6 days a week. Soooo frustrating!! I know i need a change but not sure what exactly, any suggestions?!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
