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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
