I haven't told anyone apart from BF, parents, sister and kids so I can't join any Facebook groups or instagrammers as I don't intend to share my WLS until I'm good and ready. Has anyone else decided not to share their journey?? Everyone I told is wholly against me doing this so it's no wonder I'm not bothering to tell anyone.



I'm not telling anyone either. Only my husband and best friend know. I haven't even told my mother.



Congratulations, ladies. I don't envy you your first week after tomorrow, because discomfort is the nicest word. But it'll pass.
My surgery was March 6th, and now, I already feel as if the surgery hadn't happened.
You guys won't regret this! I've lost a total of 35 lbs from the pre-op, to now. And I feel great!


That's fabulous! Congratulations!

Not quit like myself but no real pain either, just trapped gas & absolutely no appetite, can't even get half a protein shake down, I've been nipping on crushed ice and drinking sips of water and making sure i walk around.

That's normal! I did the same thing! It gets better hang in there! Sugar free popsicles is great too! Good luck [emoji256]

That is so awesome! How are you feeling?!


@sarcruze@courtneyd@bones_girl206
Hey ladies! Just checking in on my fellow 3/29 sleevers! Post-op was rough for me...PAIN!!! But once they adjusted my meds, I got a lot better. I even walked the halls a couple of times. Still haven't had anything by mouth though. I have a EGD this AM. Hopefully after that, I can start sipping and be discharged home.

I was nervous all the night before. BUT, it went smoothly. I was up walking Day 1. Incisions hurt a bit last night. Still haven't passed gas or had a bm, so hopefully today. I'm exhausted from the consistent nurses and meds. But, feeling stronger daily.

@bones_girl206 .... me too! Everything went very smoothly. Everyone was so nice too. I was up walking yesterday as well. Had a rough night with the pain but they switched my meds up and things got a lot better. Had my EGD this AM. Tolerating small amounts of liquids ok. So I'm ready to go home!
