I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

I just had my 2 week check up! I got cleared for soft foods and to resume my normal exercise!! I’m so excited I feel like the hard part is over and I can start really living my life.. well what my new normal is!

Fantabulous SkyJade! I hope I’m in the same boat two weeks after my own surgery on the 28th!

yep hoping to meet people with around same surgery date to journey with. I was sleeved on the 12th this is day four for me .

I was sleeved 2/14 so we are really close! How are you doing?? The first few days were pretty rough for me but I feel so much better since starting my full liquids on Tuesday.

I was sleeved February 12 th also! Pretty rough here to for a couple of days too! If you don’t mind me asking how much weight have you lost? Is that going good for you?

I left the hospital on 2/15 weighing 233 (which was just a little higher that right before surgery) but I am now at 217. I’ve weighed 217 for the past 2 days and kinda started freaking out but I should not get on the scale everyday, but it’s extremely hard not to. I had my post op visit yesterday and he want me to lose 25 pounds by the next time I see him which is next month ?! Obviously that would be amazing but I’m just hoping I can do it. I went back to the gym today and did the elliptical for about 30 minutes and I just felt really out of shape and weak.

As far as eating goes I’m mostly just doing creamed soups, yogurt and maybe a little cream of wheat and my protein shakes. Getting about 400-550 calories/day.Drinking water more normally now—no more little baby sips, which makes getting it all down easier. Never really hungry so that’s a plus.

How are you doing?

I am doing well! I go for my post op on Tuesday my weight just before surgery was 213 and I’m now at 206 my scale has not moved for a couple of days also...I’m already not sure about how I feel only loosing 7 pounds...I am at about 4-5 hundred calories and my Docter allows anything that can be puréed into baby food consistency..

I am at a loss as of today of 10. 4 lbs I am expecting a stall or to really slow down soon once I start actually getting alittle carbs. eating about 300 to 450 in calories but expect now to be 400 to 600 range

Yeah I’m thinking maby I’ll have to eat more calories too.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 2/14 and had my 1 week checkup today. Down 12 lbs and I get to start soft foods. I was looking forward to it but with as much trouble as I'm having getting all my fluids and protein on full liquids, I can't even wrap my mind around getting enough when I'm eating actual food yet! I seem to have to choose either not enough protein but getting all 64 oz in, or adding protein and forcing myself to get at least 48 oz of fluids in a day. I know it'll get easier with time though.

Ok hear is a weird thought you were concerned about your two day stall, are you constipated or swelling because you are more active now. I ask because I start to swell a lot still.

I have only gone to the bathroom twice and I’m not sure if I’m swollen or not

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 2/13. 251 pre-diet, 229 surgery day and 217 -9 days post up. Finding it hard to get all the liquids in and increased heartburn. When can I expect swelling to go down?
