Officially sleeved! Surgery went amazing. I am happy to report that I have ZERO pain/soreness. I feel very lucky! I've been able to go on long walks in the hospital and I feel excellent. I hope everyone else who had surgery today is having the same luck!

I was sleeved on the 18th as well. I've had moderate pain, but have been walking and moving around. One incision spot hurts worse than the other 5 combined. Doc says that's because that's how they took the excess stomach out, and that I have stitches in that muscle. I've had trouble urinating since the surgery, so they re-catheterized me. That is causing more discomfort than anything else.

I came home yesterday and my pain was through the roof, probably because I had a single incision through my belly button, so all the pain was focused in one area. This morning I am feeling a bit better. I'm looking forward to the day I wake up with no pain so that I can really start to appreciate and enjoy my new stomach

Update:

It's been 5 days since my surgery and I am actually feeling really good! The head hunger I struggle with at times, but I am definitely battling through it. My weight on the day of surgery was 229.8 and this morning I decided to weigh myself and I am 221. Pretty happy with those results in only 5 days - thank you sleeve!!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
