I don’t see a major difference, but i feel better and have more energy. I don’t feel hungry but still try to get 3 “meals” a day. Just wanted to see who is close to the same surgery date as me and how you guys are feeling ❤️

**yesterdays pic is on the left. right pic is day before surgery!

***just wanted to note I had gastric sleeve surgery, hiatal hernia repair, and gallbladder removal. my first week was extremely rough, but I seem to feel better every day.

Great job. You Are doing better then me. I'm almost 4 weeks out and I've lost only 15 lbs. I've been at a stall for almost 2 weeks.

i see a big difference in those pictures. Great job!

Good job! I see a big difference.

Mine is tomorrow. Sleeve, hernia and gallbladder too.

What were your issues the first week coming out of that? Major pain? Walking? Gas?

Coming out of surgery i was in a lot of pain. Most of my pain was gas and it mainly hurt in my chest/right side/shoulders. I still got up and walked laps and over the next few days i was feeling lots better. When I got home the heating pad helped sooooo much. Any time i spent in bed i alternated the heating pad from my back to my belly. Again, my pain was pretty severe, but just think… you’re having not 1 but 3 major surgeries! take your pain meds and walk as much as tolerated. I kept gas-x on hand for the first week. Some of the gas wasn’t gas that comes out through “passing” it. And my stomach was bloated for the first week/week and a half.

after the first week, you will be so relieved to feel “normal-ish”. Prayers and good thoughts coming to you!!!
