    Does anyone else feel like it’s surreal? I’m just going about my life as if I’m not having surgery in a few weeks. I’m trying to get my thoughts on order but I don’t even know where to start with prep

  • How are my fellow February sleevers doing? Haven't heard much from you guys in awhile! I'm 7 weeks out, feeling good, and adapting well to my forever diet. I lost 22 lbs. on the 2 week pre

Same here! I don’t even feel like I had surgery.

When are you planning on going back to work?
Did you guys do anything different preop to ease the pain. I'm glad your feeling amazing.
You got this CocoakP2! You will do great! Just breath deep and keep your focus on the future. I’ve said a prayer for you, keep us posted! I’m still scheduled for Thursday.
@Elsy everything went well. I will be discharged tomorrow. Could've left today, but I asked to stay til tomorrow... I am enjoying the treatment and iv meds[emoji1] I'm very sore at one invcision & my tummy is kinda swollen. Bending and lifting is not much of an option. Overall, I'm grateful for a successful pro edure. Looking forward to an even better recovery... Especially concerning this gas[emoji30]

Thank you for letting us know! I was thinking of you earlier today. So glad you’re doing well! I hope you’re feeling less sore tomorrow and the gas is gone! Sleep well tonight!

Aww thank you so much. If I remember correctly, your surgery is tomorrow. God bless. I'll be thinking about u and praying for you [emoji120]
1 week post op today and I’m down from hw-378 sw 363 1 week post op 345lbs I’m struggling with protein and water but I’m going shopping tomorrow to find something else...good luck everyone hope all is going well

My surgery is on Sunday 24th Feb, I was too excited but now I'm getting multiple weird feelings ... especially that my family and work colleagues are talking me on not doing the surgery ...

It just annoys me that people are now saying "He's taking a shortcut" ... "He's not trying hard enough" ... "He's just lazy"

I will only get 1 week rest before I head back to work, based on some people's experience would I need a longer rest? and what would it feel like within the first week and on full liquid diet?

Monday 25th for me too! They said they will call to verify time tomorrow, but for now I'm scheduled to be in at 9:15. Good luck!

Sami, you’re not doing this for them, this is for YOU. People will always say what they want. If you live your life according to the naysayers, you’ll never be happy. YOU’ve got this!! I had my surgery Monday & can’t imagine having to go back to work, but I’m an elementary school teacher. It takes a few days to get the scheduling down of how & when to eat for your post-op diet.

That's a great idea! My son is a Houston transplant.
