I think I turned a bit of a corner today. All of a sudden I can drink more Water. I was getting close to my water target before, but it was work. Today it's going down easily.

I had a large drop in weight initially, but the rest of the past week it's been just sort of trickling away. Down 10lbs from the morning of surgery, 8 days ago.

Only concern is I think that my remaining blood pressure med might be too strong. I'm dealing with a bit of dizziness and a headache. My blood sugars are fine so... I see my regular doc next week, so I'm hoping it will be adjusted.

I had mine on the 8th. Having a hard time getting food in me. Just feels like it sits in my throat. Yuck. The reflux meds are not helping with this. I will just continue to try to drink and stay hydrated.

Post op Day # 5. I feel great. Hitting my Protein requirements (the Protein Shots are great to get it in). Hitting Water goals, no problem. Mild pain. I have learned I can not just take my pm meds and lay down, nope, I must sit up straight until they digest. I have only have been drinking water and protein shots or shakes. I did cook a tiny amount of chicken of mushroom Soup and got it in. One can could be 4 servings easily.

Mine's tomorrow the 27th....still scared, calm but scared. Never experienced that emotion before.

Well it is to be expected; you are about to embark on a journey that will last the rest of your life. Yes you have done a lot of the preliminaries, but as my Late Daddy would say "Its time for the s*** to hit the fan!" Gosh I miss some of his witticisms! You know it is odd the things you remember. I remember being a mini-Frustr8, attending parades, my little town had lots of them, and Daddy hoisting me up,on his shoulders so I could see better. And how safe I felt! I normally have acrophobia, fear of heights, but never with Daddy, he kept me safe. And I'll close with a thought from my motivational app, says it pretty fine.
" Don't think what can happen in a month. Don't think about what can happen in a year. Focus on the 24 hours in front of you & do what you can to get closer to where you want to be."
Love 💘, hugs and prayers🙏 from Frustr8 for all your Tomorrows.

You'll do fine! I had my procedure the 20th and forget that I had major surgery! The first 24 hours are the worst. Just keep walking and do not be afraid to ask for pain or nausea medication if you need it.

May surgery

[driverso 1]

Hi I just had my sleeve on May 28th. So far so good. Just started full liquids today. I was a little hungry today I do hope that will not continue once I get to solids!

Had mine on May 15th and feel great.

Good to hear you guys are doing great! Mine was on the 27th and I still have a catheter in...but I want it out soooo badly. ..and maybe a bit TMI but my bowels started again after 5 days. It was the blackest poo i've ever seen. Still having a bit of gas pain in the right shoulder when i go to bed at night, but when i walk around for a bit, it helps. Damn that phrenic nerve!

So all in all, Im still feeling like a wuss.

It’s nice to see so many May surgeries! I had mine done May 22nd and I just can’t wait to get to the pureed phase!
