I got sleeved on Thursday. sugar free clears since Tuesday (only broth, SF Jello and lots of water), no more than 200 calories each day. I advanced to full liquids today and was able to choke down about 2oz. of Protein Shake. Upon arriving home today I weighed myself and I was 3 lbs. heavier than I was on my surgery morning. I was urinating a lot so I didn't think I was retaining Water but it has to be that. It certainly wasn't from excess calories. Is this typical?

Between swelling from the surgery and all the IV fluids, it is completely normal to come home weighing more than you did when you went to the hospital. The IV fluids will flush out in a few days but the swelling may take as long as a month to go away. It will be ok!

I was up 13 lbs when I got home from the hospital! But they had me so pumped full of fluids cause I had kidney failure during my surgery so I expected it. It dropped off with in a few days then I knew I was on my own in having to get enough fluids :)

I am 3 weeks post op, sleeved 10/29. I gained 12 after surgery and about fainted lol. I lost 5 pounds over the next few days and then on day 6 I dropped 6 pounds overnight lol. I have had mostly steady weight loss since other than a 9 day stall right after week one. I am sure my body was just adjusting still. I feel like I am losing pretty rapidly and enjoying the heck out of it. I wish I would lose even faster though lol!!

Takes about a week to rid yourself of surgery fluids. You’re also swollen and healing just from them routing around in there

You’ll be fine and it’ll move!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
