I'm doing great. Surgery went smoothly. In recovery now. Got some morphine to help with the pain. I click a button and it comes rolling into my Iv. My pain was really bad this morning. I think from the gas. Felt like a thousand people stabbing me in the stomach. Now it's ok. Everyone has been super nice. Hopefully will be discharged tomorrow morning/afternoon. The biggest complaint I have is serious dry mouth and not being able to drink anything. And chapped lips but they gave me gauze with Water to wet my mouth and Vaseline for my lip. food is the last thing on my mind and I haven't eaten in a week. Good luck to those in recovery as well ladies and gents. We did it!

Wow purple I couldn't even imagine! I'm still in bed. I have had an Iv with pain meds in all day, and they just gave me a Vitamin Iv bag to make me stronger for tomorrow. Oxygen in my nose and my legs are wrapped in something that adds pressure and releases to circulate my blood to avoid blood clots. If your home just make sure your walking and moving around to avoid that! Glad everyone is doing well. For those that have surgery tomorrow or this week good luck! It's less painful than I thought after the fact, but at first I was thinking omg what did I do to myself because it was bad. After the pain meds started that was a fleeting thought and I am happy as a clam!

Oh and all you need is a phone charger and headphones! I have Pandora on to block out the sounds of the machines and my lovely roomie who talks in her sleep.

      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?
