My surgery date is finally nearing. Less that a week away. I'm so very nervous and excited at the same time. Location is Carmel, Indiana. Anyone else same time or location that might want to be buddies?

What a way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

Best wishes!

I had mine done May 5 too. How is your recovery going?

It's going very well! First three days was yucky with nausea and such. But I've had a lot of energy. How are you doing?

Good, glad to hear it.
I'm doing well. My energy is slowly starting to come back.

I'm feeling pretty good. The first five days were very tough. I'm getting tired of eating the same bland things every day. I've lost 20 pounds. Which is great. But nothing in the last five days. I'm addicted to the scale I think.

How are you doing?

I've done the same thing! I lost 18 pounds and now 5 days of nothing! Reading that it's expected is somewhat comforting but I really was enjoying seeing the scale go down each day.

I am new to the forum and just had the sleeve done on May 24th, so 4 days ago. I had the liquid diet for one week and lost 9.4 Pounds. After the surgery I had gained back all but 1.4 pounds putting me back at 238 pounds. 4 Days out and I am still not back at my starting weight. Could you please let me know when you started losing weight after the surgery, how many days did it take to see the numbers go down? I am doing exactly what they told me to do but am already getting discouraged that I might be one of the 25% that doesn't succeed. Thanks for your help!

From what I was told we are retaining water from the IV and still swollen. I'm not sweating the scale. Just focused on healing and learning.
I'm five days out. Don't freak out give yourself time to heal. It'll happen.
Btw where'd that statistic of 25% don't succeed come from? I've never seen that.

That is what my surgeon told me. He said 25% of the people that get the surgery will fail and gain all their weight back. Thanks for your reply it is much appreciated. Since you are 5 days out, have you lost any weight yet?

Idk. I haven't weighed myself because I don't want to get hung up on it. I have a post op the first week of June and I'll get weighed then. It's kinda hard to not check but I think it's made me have less stress.

Agreed I haven't weighed myself either...post op appt on 31st so I'll know then too

Thanks ladies, I unfortunately am a scale freak, wish I could not look also. Good luck at your weigh ins, my appt isn't until June 9th so hopefully I lose some by then.
