Looking for others that got their sleeve surgery on May 24th



Recommended Posts

Would love to converse with others that got surgery on the same day as I did so that we can compare our issues or triumphs and support each other.

I didn't get the sleeve but I did get the RNY on the same day as you. Welcome to being a loser (lol, I love saying that because it's such a good thing here and such a bad thing elsewhere. It's silly)

So.... I did what I swore I wouldn't and stepped on the scale yesterday. I was up 17 pounds from the time I was weighed before surgery.
That got me motivated to try to walk more and get more Fluid in. My problem is I haven't had a bowel movement since the morning before surgery and I know I'm super bloated. After walking a little over a mile and a quarter yesterday and drinking more Water, I was down 5 pounds this morning.
PM me if you wanna chat. I've been frustrated at the idea that I now know what to expect and am not surprised by any of it. I think I'm just cranky because of surgery

I am doing well. The belly is still pretty tight and sore but am able to move more. I am 7 days out now and able to eat and drink with no issues. Hope things are going well for you!

@Mamabear22I suppose it COULD be worse lol Today was great though. I have more energy, and less hunger/pain than yesterday.

Hello May 24th'ers, how is everyone doing? I am currently at 215 at the end of week 3, but have also lost 10" too. Even though the numbers are working for me, I have yet to feel a difference in my clothes yet. I am also having back pains like crazy, anyone else having this issue? My incision where the drainage port was is severely infected right now, but other than that, I feel great. The recovery after this surgery seemed way too easy, maybe that is why karma is slapping me with the infection! Hope you are all doing great and would love to hear an update if you get a chance!

Sleeve 5/24/17
I weighed myself and I told my daughter I was going to shoot scale off my patio. So I'm staying away from the scale.

I had horrible back pain the first 2 weeks. It's gotten a lot better recently. Today makes exactly 4 weeks post-op for us! Congrats everyone. :)

I've lost 21 pounds so far.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
