SURGERY DAY TOMORROW 12/11!!



Recommended Posts

Wow - I started this process back in March of this year and it felt like I was never going to get here. Excited but nervous about not knowing what to expect. Looking forward to feeling better and getting healthier, but worried about old bad habits returning. I have to keep ahead of my brain and not let it sabotage me. Good luck to everyone else going through this process and I will check in afterwards

HW. - 316

Good luck Debbie!

Ask for a scopolamine patch behind your ear before you go down to surgery - it prevented nausea and lasts 3 days. Sip slowly and often and walk as soon as you can.

You will burp and fart for a couple weeks and your gut will be loud enough to hear across the room! And you will be tired, you will feel great and then suddenly just hit a wall of exhaustion - just take a nap as often as you need to. Good luck.

Congrats! Keep us posted

All went well. Had the surgery Monday and came home Tuesday. Wednesday was a little rough because I was exhausted and just didn’t want to take in the fluids I need. Today was am taking a turn to the better and am getting around better and am able to take in more fluids. Got my first Protein Drink in today and that really helped. I have to be honest and say on wednesday I was regretting this decision but today I am back on track. You will have good days and bad days but you just have to work through them one day at a time. I am only day 3 after surgery so it will continue to get better. Still have about 3 pounds on from the hospital so I will be happier when I start seeing a decease there too.

Had my surgery on the 12th. Today I am so miserable. Every time I sip I have upper abdominal cramping and pressure. I am taking very small sips from a 1oz cup. No regrets on the surgery as I know it will get better, just hope it gets better soon!

I am feeling a lot better. I did not do well on Wednesday but I am starting to get this down. My pain is minimal and there is just discomfort in the stomach when swallowing. I find today that I am missing chewing food. I am looking forward to getting to that stage and enjoy something of substance again.

I think everyone goes through that regret stage!! Keep on pushing! I am 2 weeks out as of today and I am already feeling so much better!

It will get better as the days goes on. My Surgeon does his sleeves smaller than some, and at first every time I would swallow, I felt everything. I still do but not as much. Stay strong and keep at it! :)

I'm so happy that your surgeries went well. I understand walking helps with the gas so I'm guessing it should help with the tummy discomfort too.

Would love to hear your stories as the days progress. It will help me get an idea of what to expect and it might help you guys out to write it out. I know several people who are keeping journals so they can look back to see what they've been through and understand how far they've come. Just a suggestion.

Keep us informed. It will inspire us in the weeks and months to come. candy

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
