I am5 days out from surgery and feel great! Energy is great and I had no complications or problems following surgery. Keeping up with fluids is not an issue and have felt no pain with drinking at all. So excited for what's ahead

Same with me and my husband three years now. We had a perfect recovery. My oh my wish we had the surgery 20 years sooner!

feel great! Energy is great - no complications or problems following surgery.

wow - so happy things are going nice and smooth

it good for newbies to hear other newbies success early PO

OP (newbies) seem to hear/remember bad stories/problems

then they get nervous/scared

hopefully many newbies are reading your words

seeing your easy recovery (drinking going well too)

you are understandably excited/looking forward to things

you can only imagine what's in store for you next

i'm gonna keep it a secret

you'll be amazed at all your NSV's (non sleeve victories)

ie riding an airplane without a seat extender!!

good luck

Did you have the sleeve?

I'm hoping for surgery in June '17. I wish it could be sooner, but I can't take time off from work, and I am off all Summer, so it seems like the best choice. I love hearing about these great experiences! I go back and forth worrying and feeling confidant. I hope I have a great experience.

Char3672, take this time to prepare your body and mind. I went 6 months preparing and I'm glad I did.. it will be worth it..I'm 18 days out and doing good. No cravings and I've been out to eat with the family and it doesn't bother me at all, which is a good thing for me. I either eat what I can off the menu or I always have a bag of stuff with me that I can eat..it's been great..

I CAN'T wait to get started. I'm supposed to make my first appt with my coordinator in Jan. I wish it was tomorrow. I always read the posts on here, and I started reading The emotional first & aid kit. A practical guide to life after bariatric surgery. I want to learn everything I can

I am so excited to START living. I have already missed out on so much.

I had the sleeve on 10/11/16 and my stomach feels okay but i feel still so uncomfortable to drink and i have a headache every day since

I was sleeved 10/12 and I am having an exact opposite experience. I struggle to force myself to do anything, I have this awful rumbling air/gas thing going on which causes terrible pressure against my breast bone, and it hurts every time i sip anything. Each day is better than the last, but I'm still miserable.

Everyone's journey is so different. Very ready to start feeling better.

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday.

I am so happy for the ones that are great I just wish I could get my liquid in without so much pain

Sounds like me! I'm a month and some change post-op and I honestly don't remember ever feeling this good. I've dropped 50+lbs since the start of the liquid diet pre-op and the weight is falling away. It's pretty f-ckin' awesome, yeah?
