Anybody scheduled for March 2019?? I just got my surgery date of March 5th!! So excited. They had the end of February available but because of my job, I had to go with March.

I’m on Baritastic. It won’t let me set up the group unless I invite someone. If you want to pm me the email you use there I’ll invite you and set it up.

I’m 9 days after my surgery. Not only did i get the bypass by they all fixed a hernia. (Very painful) I feel worse everyday and pain pill don’t work anymore. I haven’t lost weight and all I’ve been doing is liquids. The shakes have been a little difficult for me. I’m getting tired of them. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved the 13th, they fixed a hiatal hernia and an abdominal hernia. I have gone back and fourth on feeling better then feeling worse. My abdominal area is so sore I can’t bend. I think my spasms are finally getting a little better.... but still a struggle. I’m hanging in there though and I’m hopeful!

I'm the same way. I am 6 days post op. I was weighed the morning of surgery at 290.8, then three days post-op I was 298. Today I'm down to 293 so I've lost five pounds in a few days but overall I'm at a gain. Strange.. hopefully it ramps up soon.

Hopefully!! Fingers crossed!

My date was 7th March. Already in my 3rd week post up. Learning new things daily

Tomorrow is my surgery. I’m so nervous. I don’t know what to expect. ?

Just to let everyone that I have scared know I am much much better this morning and they are letting me go home. Thank gosh! I couldn’t have survived another night in this bed. I’m keeping all my liquids down including Jello and broth and the gas pain is pretty much gone. I’m “aware” of my incisions but they are not really painful at all. I’m so excited to be going home!

That's good to know, glad you've turned a corner. How are reeling now? @Nickycole86

Well, I would love to say fantastic but I would be lying. I’m hurting today pretty good. I don’t have any gas pains anymore but I am well aware of my staples/incisions now. I was sent home on Tylenol and I haven’t been the best about taking it on schedule (because when it’s time I feel fine) and the next thing you know I am in immense pain. So I am making a conscious effort to keep some Tylenol in my system for a couple days just to stay more comfortable. Otherwise I am fine, I know I am not meeting the goals but I am trying to sip sip sip. :)

Aw bless you. At least you’re home and hopefully you’ll improve daily now. Yes definitely keep on track of the meds - - don’t let them wear off. I’ve read a lot about people not being able to keep up with the water intake

Someone said to add protein to your water and it’s easier to drink. Check with your team first though of course. New day tomorrow, hope you get to a really good place in your journey soon

I ate chicken salad and refried beans to my meals this weekend. No heaving! The chicken salad had tiny pieces of shredded chicken and I chewed, chewed, chewed. The refried beans were from Taco Bueno (we were traveling lol) and I didn’t mind the little bit of chili sauce and cheese on top at all. Haha. Both did well in my sleeve. It’s nice to have a bit of variety. I find myself getting stuck in the broth and protein rut just because it’s so dang easy/available.

I got sleeved Fridaythe March 22

Hey March Sleevers. I am one week post op today. YaY!!! I am feeling good and am thankful that I had a straight forward recovery so far. Little nausea on the first few days but other than that not much to complain about. The worst pain has been in my large incision site on my lower right side but as long as I am mindful of my movement it isn't too bad. I am feeling very optimistic and hopeful going forward. Big hugs and cheers for the March family.

I wish mine showed the numbers. I only see a graph...

Sounds good, I'm eating soft foods. My doctor told me I can have any soup as long as it's healthy. I had been with bacon, enjoyed it so much. Had cottage cheese also. Still drinking protein shakes to make sure I am getting my protein in!
