So I haven’t even had this surgery yet and I’m already isolating my self from triggers of family, friends etc. I am seriously feeling like this is the best way for now because either people are super insensitive or they just don’t realize the words that come out their mouths. So until I’m good and ready I am MIA.... rant rave over and out

I'm one week post op and feeling pretty damn good! Five hours after surgery, me and my IV pole were walking around those hospital floors like there was no tomorrow. The only problem I'm having is gas... when I feel it coming, I get up and walk. Im able to get my protein in and those Popsicles have become my best friend. You can do this and all of us are here to help you!

I'm still a newbie. I'm only 6 weeks post-op. I haven't had any adverse reactions so far, other than my iron and vitamin d being low, but I had that issue before surgery, and nausea; the nausea is new, and it doesn't happen all the time. My advice to you would be to follow your doctor's plan. Get your protein in. Get your water in. There will be days that you don't want to, but you need to make yourself. You've got this!

Awesome thanks for the reply. It’s just starting to get hot here. My main concern is I work a super physical job so hoping I can get through the work days. And that’s awesome on the weight loss. Congrats

5 months out. Feel amazing. Off all my meds. Normal labs. (save thyroid) Had an extremely easy surgery. An extremely easy recovery. And have been feeling better than I have in 20 years. LOVE my sleeve:)

I was much like yourself and am so glad that I did this. I did this for me and I am finally putting myself and my health first for a change. Even though I have had a few challenges in my recovery, I wouldn't change doing this surgery. As of today I am down 57 lbs since my highest weight and I broke the 250 mark for the first time in 6 years (down 25 lbs since surgery on 3/16/18). I almost cried I was so happy! My surgery recovery was actually too easy in my opinion. My battle is with dehydration. I never had gas pain, I haven't vomited and overall I feel good.

I really don’t have a goal I was stuck between 250 and 240 since December and was getting frustrated. I went back to measuring my food and started losing again losing weight is addictive so I would like to see how far I can go.

Went to put on my firedeparment suit...i think i need new pants...its hard to fathom that these used to be tight Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
