Sleeved 10/18 High Wt 223 Surgery Wt 209 Current 190 Focusing on: Daily walking! Not eating too much! Separating food from liquid. Thankfully no complications. I just need to keep on planning and stay on the plan!

Luckily I didn't have any pain but I also didn't have any hernia repair or gallbladder removal; so that probably minimized the amount of discomfort. One thing I highly recommend is using a recliner for sleeping - I definitely could not sleep comfortably when laying down for about 5 days post op. A recliner was so much more comfy. When I came out of surgery I had absolutely no pain - I slept almost the whole day away! I took my pain meds, but it wasn't truly necessary. Best wishes for a really successful surgery!

I was sleeved 10/18 and have lost 10 lbs post op. I'm totally struggling with making wise food choices on a consistent basis throughout the day. Today I decided to lay my main food choices out on the kitchen counter to keep a visual reminder - I think that should be a strong reminder to keep on track. I really enjoy reading all of your experiences and encouragement to each other! Hope you all have a very successful day!
