Had my surgery Jan 24th, yesterday I was able to get 32oz of Water and 20g of Protein down. Tomorrow is day 3 and I am on stage 2 modified soft foods. I’m down 10lbs already but I did have a bowel movement yesterday. The gas sucks! But I was able to walk a block yesterday slowly and got a lot out…then took a 2hour nap afterwards. Today I feel better just sore

Speedy recovery! I am so excited for us. You are lucky girl. I wish if my doctor would let me eat soft foods he said not until week 4 ? I am 9 days post op & I want scrambled eggs and tuna ? eat for me sis, eat for me lol

Just had sleeve on January 22 and doing well so far. Still learning how to navigate this new way of life. I’ve gained so much from all of your posts and want to thank you. Happy healing as we begin this journey…

We absolutely can! Good and bad, we are strong! I’ll be thinking of you, “twin” ??

I hope you are recovering well surgery twin ??

For all my 1/24 surgery twins, we did it! But man has it been a RIDE already. I had some issues at the hospital surgery day with post surgery blood vomiting but that’s apparently normal. It was horrific and scary though. It went away and when I got home the next day, I did great with fluids. I’ve been keeping 64 ounces down. Starting soft today. Protein shakes/yogurt and more jello. So heats hoping. But the worst is the gas and incision pain. So much swelling but, trying to focus on the long term success. Sending love and healing to all!!!

Hi Surgery twin!! I’m not doing as well with water. I got about 30oz last two days! Today I made myself cream of wheat with fairlife FF milk and protein powder. Ended up being 10g of protein 0 fat and 9g carbs for 2oz. It felt so good going down lol! The swelling is not fun! I’m trying to stop my pain meds, they only gave me Motrin and Tylenol. No narcotics so moving is slow but making sure keep moving has helped! Today the goal is 48oz of water MIN! Let’s do this!

Ohhh ok I get it now. The thin full liquid diet. Well I’ll be the first to tell you the ish gets annoying after day 10 lol for me at least. I’m hanging in there. I’m excited for all of us. Summer Time fine is loadinggg. Happy healing Queen

Hey Everyone, I keep seeing how people have a hard time using the restroom. Even my mom told me that she had an issue peeing when she got the sleeve. I am shocked at how my body is working. I’ve been able to pee since day 1 and I’ve had steady, good bowel movements since day 3. I had taken pain meds and was not constipated at all. Maybe my body was happy to get rid of that stomach lol anyway I’m excited for the Summer Time fine bodies we are working hard to get. Happy healing ladies. ❤️

WL Update: as of 01/27, I am down 22.2 lbs. with 121 lbs to go?

Hi I am new to this app
Im 10 year plus sleeve but are waiting fir a date for mini gastric bypass

Jan 22, now one week out and still in significant pain. I had revision sleeve to gastric bypass.

Me too! Mar 15.

January 18th!!

Had my surgery on 1/25!!! I’m still struggling with pain after I take sips. It feels more like pressure or “gas”. I’m trying different temps of fluids to see if that helps. Also added yogurt today. I was really hesitant that anything dairy related would do a number on my stomach AND the taste would be nasty. But so far so good!! ?
