That great !![emoji106] What have u been doing ?? What your secret ?? I'm stuck .. uggg!! I have 10lbs to go before I see my dr

CONGRATULATIONS! That is awesome. Good luck to you.

I lost about 25 pounds in a month before I noticed much difference in size. Now I've lost about 5 pounds in the last 2 months, but I'm down 3 sizes! Bodies are weird, but this surgery works if you give it a chance to work. Keep drinking water, exercising and eating enough protein! Sent from my Nexus 5X using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved on 4/13 and I had a similar experience. No pain, except gas pain. Man, that was brutal for about 5 days. I'm 2 weeks post-op and anxious to have my ONE EGG [emoji23] Haven't tried the Premier Protein shakes, though... the carbs scare me. I'm already 30 lbs down. Don't want to derail myself!!

Good luck! Mine was yesterday. Its rough (it was for me anyway) the first day. Just walk, walk walk and sip on whatever liquids they allow you. Day 2 is a thousand times better!

II had my sleeve done 5 weeks ago by Dr. Illan. It went very well. I flew to San Diego and was picked up in an unmarked car (a tad bit of confusion there). Drove straight to the Oasis of Hope hospital. Paperwork, preop testing, before I knew it they had me heading into surgery. I woke up in recovery. After just a few minutes they took me back to my room. I had almost no pain... Just sore abdominals. As soon as I was ready, I could head out of my room and walk. The valets would walk with me. That evening I was a bit lightheaded, but by morning it was better. Nurses came in every 2 hours to give medicine in the IV. On the 3rd day I got my first shower and was discharged to the hotel. Right after getting to the hotel we went out for shopping and food for 5 hours. The next day I was out for 8 hours! The hotel was very nice. I hope to go back next year to see everyone again with my new body!

Is a pouch bypass? I choose a sleeve due to the maintenance involved with bypass, plus I felt it was to drastic.

I'm doing really well today. My weightloss seems to be zipping along. I'm not sure what's normal for most people at this stage though. Once I figured about the super tiny sip thing, I've had no pain. It's still annoying to have to be sipping, honestly, every 5 minutes to get my 64 oz water and two 11 oz protein shakes in. I've been walking ~1 mile every day, but in honor of Earth Day, my best friend and I went for a little 3-mile hike at a nearby national park. It went really well; today was definitely the first day since surgery that I feel like myself. I did take a 3.5 hour nap (sleep?) in the afternoon because I was a little tired after the hike and grocery shopping. I'm all for a support group on here for fellow April 10-ers! I advance to full liquids Monday. I feel anxious about it. Food feels VERY MUCH like the enemy to me. And having zero hunger feels like my (unwillingly) fat girl Heaven. My plan is to simply acknowledge my anxiety about having to eat again and follow exactly the plan given to me by the nutritionist. I bought plain fat free kiefer and two Trader Joe's soups today in preparation for full liquids.

I have surgery on Monday 4/24. Good luck!!!

Popular day. It was mine too. I was released Tuesday afternoon. Was very weepy yesterday until I filled my pain meds (my pharmacy closed before I was discharged) but after, I was fine. Walked a bit today and my heating pad has been my favorite thing. I'm sipping on something constantly and had tomato soup for lunch. So delicious! I had purchased all these beautiful organic broths and when I tried them they tasted like cardboard soaked in water. So Campbell's soup for me!
