@TRClark23 Good luck today. On the first day set timers to walk every hour. It helps. U will be exhausted and just want to sleep but walk walk walk.

Ok I’m about to have a depressing moment.
I like shoes. I have lots of shoes. Size 46.5EU. Today I went back to work having been sleeved on Sunday. Evidently I had fat feet which I didn’t know. My feet have shrunk so all of my shoes are now too big. €6000 worth of designer shoes were rendered useless in 5 days. 😨
Like I’m glad the weight has gone but do the shoes have to suffer????

Yay! I get to start purées! It’s been easier than I thought being liquid only till now. I’ve had a few moments of weakness but three weeks and thirty pounds! Any one else start purées?

Wow that amazing! Congrats on the weight loss so far! Do you mind sharing your starting weight? And I started purees on Wednesday. It's a bit of an adjustment eating such small amounts at a time. But it's doable.

My surgery was 06/13, my starting weight was 211 and I'm 198 and I'm on stage 3 with Vitamins, Calcium and soft scrambled eggs and stuff

Thanks, I’m awake! Supposedly everything went well!

they said I have two hours before I can walk though. The gas pain in my chest is unreal.

[renae97006 8]

@TRClark23 yes mine were bad as well. When I say walk. I mean walk it will make a huge difference. When you can begin walking set that time for at least the first 2 days. Believe me it helps.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

So glad you hear from you and all went well. That gas is a mother praying that it eases up

[TRClark23 41]

Thanks, I just walked 10 laps around the floor and it was okay.

Chest pain didn’t subside, so they gave me some pain meds. Hopeful to get out of here no later than Sunday.

My surgeon used staples, is that common? I was expecting dissolving stitches and glue, lol.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

Used staples where on the outside? Mines have some like glue I was told to use fingernail polish remover to get it off lol

Yea, on the outside to close the six wounds, lol

[Carla Ogwin 91]

Ohhh ok, I'm sorry I guess every Doctor was different I don't have staples or stitches, mines were closed up with that glue looking stuff. It actually look like my skin was slightly folded over and glued mines is just weird

Yea that pain is no joke. But it will subside. It took me a week to not feel intense pain. But everyone is different. Hopefully they don’t prescribe children’s Tylenol like they did with me 🤦🏿‍♀️. Like everyone says, try to get some walking in. It really helps!
