Hello, my RnY was on the 3rd. All went well. I did have a lot of pain while I had my drain in. Once it was removed the pain immediately went away. My Doctor ordered an elastic waist band that has really helped especially when doing my walking. I am home now and feel great. Just going to continue resting for a few days. Best wishes to all of you who have your date coming up.

Hello @Faith 73, I also had my surgery on the 3rd. I keep hearing about these waist band and I so want one. I think it would help my new tummy heal and not hurt like a ..... Every time I get up or try to sleep. I'm getting my liquids/protein down ok and I've been walking every chance I get so I'm pretty happy about that. Just happy to finally be in the losers bench.

Well I’m day four into the preop diet along with a week prior of having the stomach flu. I weighed myself this morning and the first fifteen pounds are gone. Although the last several days I’ve have a headache. Has anybody else had this?

Yep, I've had a couple of headaches during the pre-op diet and some friends who have also had the surgery told me it was normal. I guess it's sugar/carb/caffeine withdrawal? I upped my Water and that helped a little. Hope you feel better!

Day 10 on my pre op diet and I started getting them yesterday. Not a normal headache either, feels different. Like a deeper pain if that makes sense? Goes away after the next meal. Actually got me nauseous today for a bit. The hunger has seemed to get normal, not better just normal. But the headaches are new. Hope they don't last the rest of this week

I had my surgery on the 2nd and the pain has been bad. I am finally starting to feel a little better but I do still hurt when I drink Water or have a sugar free popsicle. My belly is still numb in some places. And sore to the touch. Follow up on Tuesday I plan to ask lots of questions.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
