@@russm How are you doing?

The recovery has been much easier than expected, but the first few days were tough. The biggest hurdles were drinking Water post op. It took about a week to be able to comfortably drink the required Water in small sips. I rarely go anywhere without a water bottle as I am drinking throughout the day.

For me the worst part was having to take crushed medications, luckily i was approved to take all meds in pill form on my follow up 10 days after surgery.

I lost 15 pounds on the pre op liquid diet and have lost about 16 pounds in the three weeks since surgery. Started at 282 and now at 249 - my goal weight is 200.

I go back to work on Monday. Hoping my energy level holds up.

@@russm that's awesome! Glad you are doing well. I got my meds in liquid form, and one anti nausea is a patch I put behind my ear. Maybe they can change your meds to liquid?

The liquids made me vomit due to the artificial sweeteners. I do better with the pills.

Good luck with your surgery next week!

I am in Walnut Creek. I had my VSG on March 3, 2016...but it looks like I need a revision to a RNY. I'll be having it done at Travis AFB again of course. I told my surgeon that my sleeve is his handy work, and I don't want anyone else messing around in there! I am pretty hesitant about the RNY, and I'd like to talk to people that have done it. Please message me if you'd like to chat, or email me at: aschuttpelz@gmail.com

Thanks!!

      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
