LittleRouxenyhood and Lindsay, I'm sorry recovery continues to be rough on you both. Big hugs.

I wonder if bypass recovery is tougher as the sleevers checking in seem to be having easier recoveries. Then again everyone recovers differently.

Two days left for me, definitely starting to feel the nerves.

Yes, thank you SO much @CarolineLittle for putting this post together and keeping up with everyone. It’s so sweet. Many hugs to you and your recovery. Just know it gets better everyday.
I’m sure each surgery varies, and also whether it’s done robotic assisted or not. Obviously everyone’s body is different, but just glad we have this platform to talk about the differences.

Congratulations ? ? ? ?

My surgery is tomorrow May 9th??????

How are you feeling ajrp001?

@ajrp001 How are you feeling?! Wishing continual great recovery. My surgery is tomorrow morning!

Not bad at all for me. Little sore. Doing my walk and on purée diet for 2 weeks. Taking small bites and sips. That’s helping a lot. Feeling hungry. Just started protein shake. Will see how I tolerate that ?

Sending prayers and best wishes to, travelgal, Ana83, flasandollar, theProcess, and Sneese. May your nerves be calm, your bodies strong, your spirits high. May there be minimal pain and quick recovery for you all. Blessings to you on your journey with much success!

I am brand new to this forum. My surgery date is 05/30.

Good luck tomorrow - travelgal, Ana83, flasandollar, theProcess, SNEESE, rolawre. Will be thinking of you all and praying! Wednesday for me! Nerves are starting to set in!

@Jason Jacobson thank you so much for your prayers....I truly appreciate it. You will be fine on Wednesday & I'll be praying for you also.

Good luck to our Tuesday surgery buddies!

Mine is tomorrow 10 May but due to time differences pretty much 9 May for y'all in US. I check in at 7am, which is just over 19 hours away.

Just checking in a week post-op VSG. I’m doing really well, meeting protein and water goals. I can take about 3 swallows of water at a time, which works out to about 3 oz. Then I gotta allow 10 min or so before I put anything else down the chute. At first I couldn’t even get 3 oz of my protein shakes down at a time, but now I’m getting half shakes down 4 times a day. I also had some Greek yogurt tonight. I absolutely hated Greek yogurt before surgery, but was so good and felt good in my stomach too. I also now like unsweetened tea and I used to be 100% sweet tea girl. It’s absolutely crazy how your body changes.

Good luck to everyone with surgeries coming up this week. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. The pain doesn’t last forever, and things will get better quickly. Soon, we’ll all be looking back and celebrating our success and seeing these moments of struggle as just stumbling blocks on our journey!

Oh, and 22 pounds down from start of pre-op as of this morning!! ??

Much love to all! ?
