Looking for Sleeve Buddy for Dec 7th.



Recommended Posts

Can we take our chewable vitamins the day before why we are only the clear liquid diet? Are any of you doing Clear Liquids for 2 days before surgery or just 1 day before?

My doctor only has me doing clear liquids the day before surgery then nothing after 11pm

I was sleeved yesterday. So far the worst has been the gas pain. I walked almost all night, last night. The gas pain is mostly gone. Now to get rid of the muscles cramping in my belly. Doctor says I can go home tomorrow. Woot!

Yes, I had slightly blurred vision but I'm 3 days post-op now and it's back to normal. Having a rough time with the Water requirements, but still trucking along. Was definitely a challenge getting comfortable at home, but still better than being poked at and dragging an IV up and down the hallway doing my laps...good luck with everything!

I am doing pretty good. Sore on my left side. Some chest gas pains. Been very active because the night of my surgery my husband got good poisoning then kidney stones. At one point we shared a room and were both hooked to an iv. Sure was a funny sight. Not fun but have some crazy memories to look back on!!!

Wow fat2phat that's some coincidence lol. Now I'm home the excitement has gone about getting outta hospital and I realise my bed has no support at all.

Glad someone else had the blurred vision (well not glad but u know what I mean) not so worried now.

Here's hoping we all have a less painful day tomorrow girls????????

Thanks for taking care of me. Can't believe I got food poisoning and then kidney stones while in Mexico for your surgery. And had to be rushed back across the border to ER in San Diego because hospital in Mexico was unable to control the kidney stone pain and nausea.

Thankfully you had a great surgery and are doing awesome despite all of my attempts to derail your journey. Lol.

Yes I had one repaired. I was told it is pretty common in people who are obese.

Lol. Yeah overall I am very pleased with my experience in Mexico. They took awesome care of me and 4 days post op I am having an amazing recovery!

Now if you could please pass that stone so we can get started on our new active lifestyle, I would appreciate it. Hehe. ????

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
