Just got my date today, 06/18/18. I’m partially excited, and also terrified. I’m very happy to have a date to work towards and get everything in a row, because the unknown was driving me crazy!

My problem right now is that I e been so busy with house buying ad land preparations that I’ve fallen off the wagon in regards to eating well. During my six months of medical weight loss, I’ve done incredibly well and even lost 39 pounds. I don’t need anyone to shove food down my throat. I’m currently having trouble with eating properly all on my own! ?

I hope you are doing ok now that you are post-op. Or stats are similar, and I'm also from Texas, so we can follow each other.

I am officially JUNE 11!!!! Been on the liquid diet and met several of my doctor's former patients ????. I can't wait.

There are a couple of us going on Monday. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I had the sleeve done on June 6th. Procedure went great! I’m doing my walking in the house. I’m very sore but nothing too bad. I just feel kind of bruised inside. Sneezing and coughing hurt. They gave me a lot of drugs. Two being pain meds. I feel the high dose ibuprofen works better than anything. It’s hard to keep to the three ounces of liquid at a time. Makes it hard to get all the pills down. I’m just glad it’s over with but I feel it’s totally worth it!! Good luck to all of you for your surgeries!!?

Just had surgery June 6. Sleeping a lot. Pain ok

Tomorrow is my day! First case of the morning. I’m excited, nervous, scared. So very emotional. I’ve been crying off and on all day. I’m ready but I don’t know how to feel. My life is changing tomorrow.

How are you feeling? I took advantage of ALL the pain relief for the first 72 hours after surgery really made a difference for me. I haven’t needed anything since, but it was great skipping the argh I’ve been hit my a truck phase.

IntergalacticGal, I am in the same boat. Tomorrow I am the first case of the day. I have been down with a Headache all day that I have decided is just from being anxious. I know that this the best thing for both of us and we will be so much better for it. Good luck and keep me posted on how you are doing.

How are you feeling? Take what you need to recover and welcome to the other side

My date is June 25th. I’m excited, scared and anxious all in one. We all have came a long way. Blessing to everyone

Had my sleeve operation yesterday and so far doing well. Intake of fluids going well

I feel pretty good. I haven’t been hungry at all. Just thirsty. The nausea and gas pain is the worse part. Other than that, I’m ok.

Surgery went well, I was up and moving just a few hours after. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to come home yesterday because I was having so much nausea and was not able to get in enough fluids. After changing my nausea med I was doing much better and able to come home about 6pm last night. I am doing so much better today. Still taking the pain med about every 4 hrs but I don't think that will be much longer. I am ready for this next chapter of my life.

I was sleeved 6/1. First two days were miserable - really was wondering what the heck I did to myself! But feeling better, tolerating full liquids, walking 10k steps/day, no hunger pangs or intense cravings, pain basically gone, and losing weight rapidly!

That’s great! The nausea is a real pain. But I’m excited for this new me as well. It’s official now.
