I was scheduled to have my surgery in April, but due to the pandemic it was postponed. But I just got my date, October 13th :D

Looking for my fellow autumnal surgery buddies :290_fallen_leaf::291_maple_leaf:

I had mine October 5th. Gastric bypass.

Morning everyone I had my sleeve yesterday 10/13 and I’m currently in hospital. Gassy and nauseated are my main symptoms . Besides that my pain is not as bad just being managed. I have to walk around today. I couldn’t do it last night .

Hi everyone! I am having gastric sleeve on October 27. I have been thanking God that I was approved as I had a lap band that was removed due to medical issues. I am so so happy but honestly I keep seeing myself eating a 1/4 cup of food the first month and it scores the crap out of me lol anyone else?

Hi there! Don’t stress about the amount of food. You probably won’t be hungry anyway.

For the nausea they gave me meds , the gas I had to pass it on my own. They tried to promote walking but I couldn’t yesterday

my liquid intake is pretty low the goal is 400 ml before I leave and I only have 60. The nausea is making it hard to drink but it’s not that bad today

if I don’t meet goal l have to stay another night

That's awesome you made a few laps and were able to tolerate more liquid. Hope you're able to go home tonight but if not, you're where you're supposed to be.

I'll join the club - like others, I was literally set to fly out in the middle of March for the gastric sleeve but had to cancel because of the crazy Covid. Was so sad since I was literally one day away from the flight and all of the pre-op diet prep. But it was definitely for the best.

I'm now scheduled for October 28th! Flying out in less than 2 weeks.

On day 2 of the pre-op diet and it's going ok. I find it practically impossible to drink 64 oz of Water though. I feel like i'm drinking non-stop and I still can't get it all down. I'll keep working on it!

To me it's still not really "real" yet, but definitely will be once I prep to go to the airport!

I've been struggling with the Water as well. Hang in there! You can do it!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
