Finally sleeved!



Recommended Posts

My surgery was this morning (11/8) and I feel pretty good right now, even with minor doses of the pain med from the button.

The oddest thing was that I expected to be starving, but I'm not, even watching FoodTV, it's a very distant feeling, more like "eh, that's neat". Before, hunger was a evening feeling and I could taste what I was seeing. Odd.

I've been up and walking, visiting the restroom, all of that. What I am looking forward to is swallowing Water for hydration tomorrow, this dry mouth is killing me.

I have one question for be vets, though - how long did you go before 'buyer's remorse' set in?

I was sleeved 11/7 and the first day I was so in and out of it I don't think I had much time to even consider how much pain I was in. Now yesterday before I got to go home I had a little meltdown because I hadn't slept well the night before the nurses were coming in constantly with shots getting blood work etc. on top of that the gas pain and the soreness in my abdomen was just too much I was SO ready to go home. I am feeling a thousand times better in my own bed not having to be strapped up to several things that I need assistance with just to use the restroom. There truly is no place like home! Im so happy your doing well! Congratulations friend. Sending healing energy your way! You will do great!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
