Alwzla do you feel prepared? I’m planning on finishing shopping for what I need this weekend and then pack for the hospital. I can’t believe it’s next week.

Hello everyone. April 1st sleeve surgery here. Surgery went fine but had a first bad night. Nausea and vomiting but felt like a new person the next morning. My bp skyrocketed and I ran a fever but all gone today. Pain is minimal but it is hard getting Water down. I want you to know that we all respond differently but even that minor complication isn't going to stop me.

Haha I threw up right in front of the surgeon! I don't remember seeing her in the room when my barf attack hit but she told me about it in detail, she witnessed it for sure. Like you, Cowgirl, I have been having a little trouble keeping hydrated but it's getting better. You'll be good at it in no time! Just heal, concentrate on healing, girl, you've got this!

They kept my IV until immediately before I was discharged. With it they put bags of different liquid medicines into me like potassium, phosphorus, antiemetics and pain killers. They did not remove it until my doctor said I was discharged. Plus they will probably make you grip the IV stand as you walk laps in the hospital and to use the bathroom. They did to me.

They did remove the oxygen tubes from my nose pretty early though. They got removed shortly after I got moved to a hospital room. But IV definitely stayed in, the entire time.

Surgery is in less than 7 hours and I’m so nervous I could vomit. It’s funny the surgery doesn’t scare me as much as my mom shunning me because of it and I’m scared of the horrible back pain I get in hospital beds. Can’t decide if I should just stay awake or nap for 2 hours.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
