Hanging out here in hospital, being released tomorrow. Not thinking about food at all, just want to swim in a vat of gatorade!

I had mine Sept. 30th...but I can pretend I'm an October buddy

Me too September 30th. I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about. When I turn on my left side to sleep. (How I used to always sleep) it feels like I can't breathe. Both sides of my chest feel constricted and I have to turn on my back FAST. Anyone know what's going on? 6 days post-op sleeve.

I feel the same way!! I think it's just tightness. Swelling still going down. I had a hernia repaired there too so I feel ya. My left breast is my issue. Got a port on my chest above the breast, but the tube hoes under the breast....I'm talking red hot poker stabbing pain up through my nipple...it's bad haha

Omg you're right. I totally forgot that I had a hiatal hernia repair as well. That's exactly where it is. In between my breasts I can press on where the pain and tightness feels and now that you reminded me...That's exactly where the hernia probably was. Haha okay good!

See I didn't need to call my doc. Just support from like minded people going through the same thing!

Thanks!!

I just got on the scale for the first time and I think I'm down 30 lbs since 2 week pre-op

Took the big walk, all over the three nursing stations. The LiquaCel wasn't terrible.

3 days post op and feel fine. Just got back from grocery shopping. I'm finding warm liquids go down better so warming my Water so I can get that in. I have sinusitis so that is making me miserable, without that I'd probably be feeling good. I slept for almost 11 hrs last night and been answering work emails all day. I'm looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach and getting the staples out. My son thinks my frankenstomach is cool though

Since I was up and walking and tolerating fluids I was cleared to come home last night.

I've been conservative on intake but got ambitious with walking. I did 30 minutes all at once around several blocks from my house and back. Re-awakened a lot of soreness.

Keep it calm and steady.

Chew-able Vitamins are HUGE! Took those slow.

Ordinary meds in Oikos Triple Zero need to be stirred in to hide the foul flaovr after they are crushed or opened.

It's all learning.

That makes me feel so relieved that she feel so good just 3 days post-op. My surgery is October 18 and I'm getting nervous. I've been doing the liquid diet since Tuesday ad I'm actually doing so much better than I thought I would. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.

      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?
