I just got my surgery date this morning! It’s July 25, 2018!! I am so excited to get this done! Praying everything goes well. I have my pre op appointment with the Bariatric surgeon tomorrow! Then I’ll probably have to start the pre op diet! 😊😁😀

Congratulations!!! Just around the corner. Will keep you in my prayers and can't wait to see you on the flip side. You've got this!!

I'm only 3 days post op. Today's the first day I'm keeping track of liquids and Proteins to try and meet my goals. So far it's been ok. I'm not hungry, so I'm just forcing the intake, 2 ounces at a time. Luckily, I haven't had any problems swallowing pills, but I space out when I take them. Getting up and down is a pain, literally. Hoping the more I do it the better it'll feel ( build up those muscle). I have notice back and shoulder pain, which is probably due to whatever position they put you in during surgery. But overall, I think I'm doing well. Oh, and scents haven't hit me yet, they were really bad during pre op, so we'll see.

Yes! I am able to break the pills open and add them to a little liquid. My others I can chip in half. Thank you for the suggestion to call.

Glad you’re doing well and the pain and soreness gets less intense everyday. And I understand the pain of standing and sitting. Everything feels out of sorts. It definitely gets better though. 8 days post op and I’m feeling way better, almost normal. Keep fighting the good fight!

I started feeling better around day 4, were you prescribed pain meds? Maybe call your doctor? You’re not feverish or anything right?

I was sleeved on June 14th. Had my 3 week post up check up this afternoon. I am down 25 pounds since surgery. I feel great. Dr. Says no pool for another week. Told me to keep doing what im doing. Blood test came back great. Still having trouble getting all my Water in but doing around 32-40 oz not including my 2 protien shakes. So glad I am heading in the right direction with my health.

Still very sore.. bending over or moving is difficult due to sharp pain next to my largest incision. Hopefully it goes away within the week. Congrats on all your progress by the way! You’re doing great!

[Oceanlove 98]

Yeah the bending is a difficult thing take your time on that. I’m 16 days post bypass and just now able to bend slowly with out pain. Give yourself time. Each person deals and heals differently.
