Congrats on returning to "normalcy" with work and activities and soon to be swimming as well! I am on day 7 today and i woke up feeling so much better and it gave me such a push! My incisions are still tender but that's it. Looking forward to your updates.

congratulations!!!! blessings always come in amazing ways!!! im happy for you.!! the journey begins soooon!

I had to do 2 weeks preop diet of liquids only. I felt HORRIBLE for the first 3-4 days, but it got much better by day 5. I was sleeved on July 2nd and have only had 2 headaches since...totally work related, I'm sure. Hang in there, once all of those toxins are out of your body, you should feel much better.

That is fantastic!! ALL THE TIME, GOD IS SO GOOD. Congrats to you.

That is very cool! Good luck with everything!

maybe it's your body detoxing & caffeine withdrawall?.. i hope you get to feeling better ASAP! <3 my heart goes out to you

You are in the most common stall that there is... the "three week stall" that happens to almost all of us. Go up to the top of the vst page, in the search bar and look up three week stall. Also, you will go through a "surge" of hormones. I don't remember when nor how long it lasts, just that omg I am so f'n hormonal, I felt like I was crazy. Just know this - it too shall pass. Change your perspective. Concentrate on your "levels" .. by that I mean protein, how many oz of water you get in, etc. You will have many ups and downs in this journey and through out each trial, you will learn how to best equip yourself for the next hurdle. You CAN do it! And the weight's going to start zooming off... watch. If I could, I'd bet money on that. And I'm not a betting woman... Hang in there sweetie! OH and I (for a while) only allowed myself to weigh every Monday morning. Otherwise, it drove me nuts. Now, I don't care what the scale says as much. It varies (for me) up to 5 lbs a day depending on the time of the day. Limit scale time to once a week if you can!

I am 5 weeks post op. And no I dont have headaches or nausea. The pre op diet is hard, however after day 3 it gets better. Hang in there it is worth it in the long run.

I am going thru the same thing had my appt on the 3rd and can't wait

I was just sleeved on 8/2. What you are going through is completely normal! I made two lists for myself of things I hate about being fat and what I am looking forward to after surgery. The things ranged from petty to major. I hated being judged on my appearance. I hated freaking out if I would fit in a booth, etc. I could not wait to delve into my 'skinny' clothes I had been holding on to for years. Just keep reminding yourself of your long term goals and what led you to start pursuing this surgery in the first place.
