Today was big day!

Reported to hospital at 530am for 730am surgery got weighted in and lost 32lbs on my pre op diet. I was way stoked to say the least. Surgery went well and I woke up with nausea and very loopy. I got to my room at noon and I instantly was up walking Laps to get this gassy feeling out. I've been doing a dozen Laps an hour and feeling really good minus a little discomfort. Pain level is around a 3-4 out of 10. Gonna go watch tv and return texts excited for tomorrow and trying Clear liquids.

Cheers everyone!

Thanks everyone. I started my clear liquids today been going nice and slow as directed. 4oz an hour with medicine cup pretty much sipping an ounce every 15min. After the first 4oz i felt a little bloated but I guess that's normal. Been walking a lot trying to get rid of this gas.

I have another week before surgery. I am also worry about looking older. 52 and have always received complement about not looking my age. I am looking into Roden and fields products.

Congratulations Justin!

Justin keep up the walking! It's probably one of the best things to help with any discomfort. The gas took a while but it will go away soon too. You are defiantly a rock star my man!

Congratulations !! You're doing great!! And welcome to the loser club yay yay

I started from a very similar point as you when I was sleeved on November 10th. You will be amazed at how quickly you feel better and make progress. Best of luck, @@Justin Curtis. You will do great!

Congratulations! Great way to start off the New Year!!!
