I joined another VSG group. Its just not the same here anymore since they changed it a few days ago. I really enjoyed coming here everyday there was alot of action, conversation and advice, Now its so quiet. Dont know what happened! A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...haha:) I hope it can return to normal but if not it was good while it lasted!

Well enjoy all ur time off:) My appt is this wed, so I will update then!

Im pretty good at this point. It was rough the first few days but all is well now. Down 11 ppunds since surgery. Only thing is the gas pains. The protein shake is not my fav, but i try and get it down anyways.

Sometimes i think i get hunger and gas pains confused. Believe me I cant wait either. But i have no idea what i want to eat. Im getting use to it too. It really is a all day thing. I go back to work tomorrow, so we will see how that goes. Its very light duty so i think i will be ok. When do you have your next appt with your surgeon?

I am one week out and still having gas pains. So I would like to know the answer too!

Good luck to you all!!!! Hope for a speedy recovery!

Hows everyone doing so far? Its quiet in here, was hoping to hear how everyones who been sleeved this month progress has been so far. Im a week out now and feeling good. Lost 11 pounds in a week. Keep us updated!!!

Yeah I have tried to review the posts and only see the same ones I saw yesterday. As if not many people are posting like usual. I thought I searched hi and low:)

Im a week post op tomorrow and I feel pretty good, BUT I dont think I would be cooking a big dinner like that. Good luck with your surgery!

No for some reason i have always felt it pretty strong!

I hope things get better for you! i know the first few days are hard, and I know it seems impossible to get down fluids. Stay positive and my thoughts are with you!

Im in southern cali but in Ventura county. use to live in oceanside a few years back... Sleeved Nov 4th doing good so far 11 pounds down since surgery. Feeling pretty good! Keep me updated on ur progress

You know actually its not too bad at all. The first few days are rough, but by my 5th day i felt pretty good. I only had trouble with getting liquids down without feeling sick. But Im good now! Feel like what I did before surgery. Dont worry It will be here sooner than u know it, and best luck with everything!

Im sorry to hear that happened! I HOPE eveything gets better for you and you feel better soon. Keep me updated!

congrats keep up the good work! At this point im only 6 days out but I feel like i might be the same way:)

Im actually doing pretty good. Today has been my best day. I am able to drink alot more, diff things too without nausea. I can bend and do pretty much everything myself at this point. I just try and take it slow when i drink to prevent vomiting and so far so good. Remember its hasnt even been a week yet, so give your body the time it needs:)

How are you doing today? Better I hope!

Today is my 5th day. Im pretty much feeling great. Nausea is gone, havent been on pain meds since the hospital. I have had some dreams of food though and it was a lil hard going to the movies and not eating popcorn. But I feel so good that I did this! I have lost 7 pounds since surgery. I hope everyone from 11/4 is doing good as well!

congrats!

Hey did u get my message?

I had my surgery on Mon and when I see people like you who are doing well a year out it reminds me that the tough things Im going through right now will fade away and soon i will feel better, and better yet look great also! Thanks!

Can't believe I did it! I'm made it through safely and doing pretty good besides these gas pains. Now I know what everyone was talking about. :-P very thankful all went well now ready for the hard part. I hope everyone else who got sleeved today is doing good as well!!!!

Yeah the Dr nurses mentioned something about that. I think it could be because now im not on meds from the hospital or getting a IV anymore. Thank you though for your thoughts!

Today is my 3rd day after surgery and Im still feeling the gas. My dr and nurse said not to take anything for it because it wont help, only time will. I cant get anything down. I just cant wait for this part to be over with and feeling better and able to hold down liquids.

Hi everyone! I started this thread and just wanted to let everyone know that im doing ok! had my surgery yesterday morning and just returned home. The gas pains were pretty dam bad, but now have cleared up pretty much. I made sure I kept walking every couple hours. Also when they do the x-ray for any leaks, the drink they give you is horrible. But all who are going through it soon will do good! Best wishes for all of you. And for all who have done it before me this month congrats and good luck!!!
