Good luck!!! You got this. Crying releases endorphins (the feel good, mood lifting hormone)--so all's good. You're normal, ya weirdo! ;)

When I start to feel fear or anxiety:unsure: about which is often accompanied by tears,:57_cry: it tells me that whatever I'm doing or about to do means a lot to me. so if your feeling that way about surgery this is a good thing (in my book) that means this new journey is something you're taking seriously. Hang in there and in times of true Emotional doubt hang onto your Logic, this is a safe procedure with amazing results and unless everyone who has ever received bariatric surgery is lying to us, we have a bright, healthy new life waiting for us just around the corner. All my best

Hi from the post op world.

There is definitely some gas pain., and a lot of nausea with me. However, all in all the nurses told me I’m recovering quite well and quickly. They kept telling me to rest but I wanted to walk for the pain and it help.

I’ve been vomiting a tiny amount of blood which they also mentioned is very normal too.

I feel much better now than yesterday. No vomiting so far and the walking has been easing the ache a lot.

I feel thankful and blessed. Hope everything goes smoothly with all of you!

Excited, I was quite nervous last week but somehow I feel good after crying literally every night lol.
Not sure if I should be concerned with this euphoria but I’m also glad.


Best of luck! Everything will be fine!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
