Me too! I’ve been reassured by the family and 2 friends I’ve told that it will be fine. Still not sure if I plan to tell anyone who asks yet. Do you happen to be 30 (from your ID)? I’m 30 too!

If you would like we can keep in touch! I didn't have a last meal (I should have). Well like a good friend told me, I have had many good meals, but I think one last one is ok. Well I am 4 days post op. On surgery day I was like 241, yesterday I was 232, I just weighed myself 15 min ago and the scale was wavering between 229 and 230. I haven't seen 229 since 2016, when I was working out hard core. The first 2 days after surgery were horrible for me, I had to go back to the hospital for dehydration. Just be prepared for the worst feeling ever of nausea, its like being pregnant but worst for a good 24_36 hours. My kids and husband were all freaking out. I was just upset with myself because I was following the doctors diet to a T.. except I wasn't able to keep anything down. I wish you lots of luck, positive thoughts and my prayers! The key to the gas pain is Maalox or Miralax, gas strips didn't help me. The maalox helps with the bm too!

Hi, all- I am one week out today from my sleeve last week and just want to send my support to everyone who is still waiting. I am feeling terrific today- really good. The first few days were hard (I had lots of nausea) but quickly got much much better. I was pretty terrified of this surgery before I had it, but now I am already grateful. Down 24 pounds since preop diet, which I think is pretty great! Also just feeling content with the decision now that it’s done- I keep feeling surprised that I still feel like myself- I don’t know what I thought was going to happen, but I’m so relieved that I feel pretty normal by this point, and the only difference is being a tiny bit sore and having to take a half an hour to eat a Greek yogurt [emoji4] Getting all liquids and Protein in, and feeling so much better. Just wanted to send reassurance to any people who like me were absolutely scared out of their minds. All will be well!


Surgery Date: January 8, 2018
Sleeve Gastrectomy

Thank you so much for your post! I am having surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30. I can’t believe it’s already here! A little nervous but your update gives me hope!!

I had my sleeve done on Thursday, Jan. 11th. Today is the first day I am feeling much better and starting to get hungry a bit and am tempted to eat something real. Still some pain but definitely better overall. I would love to join a group of all of us together that are about in the same part of the process.

I wanted to chime in. My surgery was on the 9th and at almost a week out I am feeling pretty good. I lucked out by not having any nausea, the worst part for me is the pain from the incision. I am managing with just ibuprofen and concentrating on Protein and liquids. The weight is coming off and the energy is coming back. Good luck everyone it just gets better!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
