Hi. I too started with same weights as yourself.

My surgery was on 10th March 2016 and today I'm down 20lbs. So i am now 227. I do expect the loss to slow down as I will be eating a bit more as the weeks progress onto more solid food. But good luck, you're going to be fine x

Bey Opal Chick - how are you feeling energy wise? I'm a week out and get tired pretty easily - I was super active before surgery so it's a little frustrating needing a nap every day.

I'm feeling good regards weight loss surgery but I'm suffering from a separate issue in that I need a total hip replacement. Surgery scheduled for 25th June, so I feel tired from the every day effort of just moving about. Everything is such an effort and I'm now using a cane. I had to stop taking anti inflammatory tablets a week before gastric sleeve surgery. So it's hard to say whether my tiredness is due to such a low calorie diet or my hip. I'd say take a nap if you're able. I also went back to work 10 days after surgery. I'm exhausted some evenings so have early nights. Come June, things can only get better. And for every single one of us who has decided to undergo serious surgery as a last resort to help control our weight (a decision not taken lightly) I'd say all our lives WILL get better. Some journeys more difficult than others, but nonetheless we're all in this together. So keep going krissy34, you'll be fabulous x

I had surgery 3/15. I too needed a nap ever day for at least a little over a week. Once I was able to get more Protein in I felt so much better. Water is still hard to drink all the ounces but I'm doing my best. I am on pureed food now which helps a lot with energy. I am down 19 lbs since surgery and total of 30 lbs since December. Walking alot helps. I wish you the best in your new journey. One day at a time.

March 24 sleevers (or close to that date):

How much are you exercising (doing cardio) and what are you doing (walking, running, bike, elliptical)?

Hello! I also had my surgery on 3/24 and would love some support buddies!

I'm 46, 5'4 and starting weight 256.

Hey Krissy34 I'm also a middle school teacher and had to go back to work 5 days after surgery and I was the toughest week ever! I was totally exhausted but I made it and so will you!

Good luck!

      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!

      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!!
