12/20 here also! Good day today. Throat is better, lungs normal. Just muscle soreness and itchy, healing incisions. Sipping is more annoying than I expected, but I'm drinking Gatorade G2 (doctor's ok) to stay better hydrated. Also, fabulous BF brought home sugar free hard candies. Although I'm already sick of fruit everything, they help a lot. So far organic veggie broth tastes best. But man I cannot wait for next phase, never thought I'd be looking forward to sugar/fat free pudding. But, I will say that artificial sweetener has been surprisingly more palatable post-op. While I hope to transition to more natural, low glycemic sweeteners eventually, I'm really thankful for that.

3 days post op. The first day home was uncomfortable, probably because I was off the IV meds. However I got a good night's sleep. Moving around better today... hoping that every day gets better

I'm 3 days post op [emoji4] and yes 34 is YOUNG! I'm supposed to try a Protein Shake today, but I'm a bit reluctant since I have been experiencing a little bit of nausea with just water... but I'm just going to sip slow and hopefully everything stays down [emoji15]

One of my incisions is pretty uncomfortable, with some swelling and redness. Hopefully it calms down so I don't have to go have it checked or re-dressed [emoji21]

I probably shouldn't be checking the scale yet, but I am down 2 lbs from my surgery weight so I was happy to see that! Not going to lie though, I bounce back and forth between regret and knowing how much happier/healthier I'll be once the really hard/painful part is over. It's definitely a mental challenge.

i agree laughkc11-it is all mental. that has been the hardest challenge for me. im used to going to food for comfort during good times & bad & now i cant-this is a lifestyle change. not to mention-to do this during the holidays is extremely hard!!!

I had mine on the 20th as well! The throat was never sore, but it was raspy for the first few days. The gas pain persists but I'm hanging in there. Today is the first day I've felt human. We're even going to a movie tonight (one of those nice places that bring you food and alcohol ... yeah, I'm taking a Protein Shake in my purse. Lame.)

      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?

      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
