December 5th Surgery Date

SW: 416

CW: 359

Height: 5'9

Apple shaped body.

Pre-op diet:

December 3rd=last day of solids.

December 4th=liquids.

(He doesn't require a rigorous pre-op diet.)

I started this process in April and time has flown by. I'm looking forward to being a more active mom. (I have two sons; 5 & 1).

I've only told my family and one close friend.

I was discharged yesterday. I feel tired today. I didn't get much sleep last night. Incision pain is mild, I haven't taken anything for pain since I went to bed last night. I also didn't realize I would have to give myself shots to avoid blood clots, twice a day. Hoping I feel a little better tomorrow.

@Rainbow2015 I had to move mine back a week. My scheduled for Dec 13, the same day my mom had her sleeve done three years ago.

Hi Rainbow2015......my surgery went really great. So glad to hear you are doing well. I had tremendous gas pain though and I walked as much as I could but it is now going away. My incisions hurt a bit... I have 6 and the one that hurts the most is the bigger one underneath my left breadt. But I'm giving it time to heal. I can't wait to see results in a couple of months. We will be here to motivate each other.

Dknal2, how did your surgery go?

Yes ma'am.. we are gonna be here to motivate each other. I think at the one month mark we should post before and after photos and do so every month until goal is reached.

@@Dknal2, yes, I'm excited. I look forward to seeing your progress on here as well as sharing mine.

I can't wait for this weak feeling to go away. As people keep telling me, "one day at a time".

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow. Try to get some sleep tonight because I had a horrible time sleeping in the hospital. I was exhausted by the time I was discharged and didn't get some real sleep until I was home. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. ????????

1 week post-op, down 9 lbs. I had also lost 10 lb between my pre-op visit and the day of surgery. My CW is 340. Four years ago I lost 80 lbs then I started school and gave up, gained it all back, became pregnant and gained back more. My weight when I had lost that 80 lbs was 313. I regret getting rid of all my "smaller" clothes because I will need them soon. My sister lost 100 lbs this year and gave me a bunch of her bigger pants but her big pants were size 18/20. Right now I'm in 26/28. I'll need to research a place that sales cheap pants.

Congrats@ Rainbow2015... I am weighing myself on Friday the 16th because I weighed myself this past Friday. I lost 9 lbs since surgery as of Friday ( surgery was dec 5). My starting weight was 242 lbs and day of surgery 219 lbs. So , prior to surgery, I lost 23 lbs plus the 9 more since surgery is total 32 lbs. I can't wait to see if there is any progress on Fri. I will certainly let you know.
