Good luck with your surgery!

So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery!

Hi. I had surgery on March 22nd. I am physically healing well with very little discomfort. But I'm hungry! I can't wait to get to the puree stage. I am definitely noticing a change in the taste of food. I am also craving every food commercial on TV. I read about of posts on here and feel like i have great company and a lot of good ideas. This is a great support tool! More to come soon

Tomorrow I can start on puree food. Yay! I've been copying ideas from the posts I'm reading. Its been a great help. The Mexican fare sounds the best right now. Send any food ideas!

Hi, I was sleeved March 22nd. I am feeling pretty good. Seems like each morning i truly feel stronger and can tolerate everything i eat or drink better. One thing i am having a very hard time with is the chewable vitamins. They are so sickening sweet that it makes me almost gag. Never thought i would say something was too sweet, but i can see how my taste buds have changed. Still having a hard time getting in all the water. Seems to want to get a bit stuck going down. Looking forward to the scale for the first time. I have started walking. Thank you Spring! This week i will be going to the gym at the medical center to see what i can begin doing. For me, adding daily exercize really made weight loss successful. Watching my family enjoy regular food right now is also hard for me. Love hearing everyone's stories!
