May 16th Anyone?

I've seen a few other May dates, but wanted to open this up for anyone scheduled for the 16th to check-in, gripe, vent, etc. Good luck to everyone!

im may 17th and nervous

  • Author

I think I left nervous behind last week and am now bordering on near-hysteria, though I'm pretty prone to anxiety...just keep thinking about all the reasons you decided to do this and how much healthier and happier you'll be in a few short months. I'll never say it's going to be easy, but we both know it'll be worth it. Deep breath lady, you've got this.

I was sleeves on the 16th. Yesterday was was good until I started fluids then the rest of the day was miserable. Much better today. Gas is moving out from under my rib cage.

Hey, lady. Yes, I am 3 days post op and doing much better. Pain is tolerable, full liquids started today and I don't seem to be having some of the side effects others have reported so far, so I really can't complain. I hope you're feeling better as well?

Today has been much better. I have been able to drink a little more than sips, I ate almost a full snack pack cup of SF jello, and 1/2 cup of beef broth. I haven't had any pain meds since Wednesday. I will be on to full liquids Sunday, and hopefully start hitting my protein goals.

Yes, i am doing rather well now i know what it means to be full. My chest hurts and once i belch it should go down.

I was sleeved on 5/15. Had a little tear filled melt down in front of the anesthesiologist. Just nerves. So far I can't believe how well it went and how good I feel except some annoyance at incision sites. My SW 226 and I'm 5'2". First post op appt tomorrow. I'll find out how much I have lost. Happy to be partner in Bariatric success with you. Hope your surgery went well and you are doing great!


I'm down 10 pounds since surgery. Started full liquids today. Drank a couple of protein shakes and ate some sugar free cheesecake flavored pudding. I can drink multiple big sips. Incisions just itching. Started to rubbing neosporin on them to help cut down on thickness of the scars hopefully.


I was sleeved on may 16th @9:15am
