Have u been feeling ok? I took a bite of something but I will never do it again lol

So this is my 6th day after surgery. I feel great maybe a little light headed at times. I haven taken any medication since I got home Wednesday. I am going back to work on Monday since I have an office job. I will have to tell my boss that I will have to take my time for few weeks until I heal. Do you guys think it's to soon for me to go the gym on Monday? Only walk on the treadmill? Because I only weigh 210 the doc said it will take a lot more effort for me to lose weight...so I thought why not walk for 30min on a treadmill.... I am also reading a book called "breaking the emotional tie to food" and it's helping a lot. I had broth and now tea and just relaxing and reading Knock on wood I haven't had any problems this far. No acid or gas..

Unbelievable. I had surgery on 12/30/13 and I was 213lbs just 30min before surgery. Today my mom weighted her self and I said eh what the hell... I was 200lbs OMG... It's hard just drinking liquids but now it's sooooo worth it. It makes me work harder and not think about food much. I know that I will never be 200lbs again after this week. So yes, it's worth having surgery. I know this might just be water weight but I am loving it. I wanna tear because I am soooooooooo happy. Guys just keep trying... I never thought it would be me.. Especially that much. I pray and thank god for not having any problem drinking my liquids except for plain water. Still don't like the flavor of plain water. One tip I have is, don't think about tomorrow, just focus on today. I've been watching movies looking at work dresses that I can't wait to buy and wear... Take a nap during the afternoon, read books and spend time with my family. They've been so good and not eat in front of me.. Yes I am beyond HAPPY and wanted to share with my second family (you guys)

Thank you so much. This motivated me. I was jut telling my mom that seeing the scale move down made me work harder and accept that this was the best thing that ever happened to me .. So excited to lose another 60pounds

I tried something on the 4th day that I shouldn't have. It didn't make me sick nor did I throw up. I was scared to death after reading about leaks and never would I "cheat" again... It gets easier after the 6th day. I was tempted and I did it. I pray to god that I haven't messed anything up. I feel excellent and no pain BUT do not eat anything you are not supposed too.

Omg I can't believe it lol.. Like I thought it would take at least a month for me to lose 13lbs. It's crazy how this work. I haven't done any walking except walking around the house for few minutes.

You are right, maybe I should wait until Thursday to see my doctor.

Geneen Roth... Thank you

I've been better than ever. No pain. I'm able to drink with no problem. I just miss food. I want some soup right now ... I am following my diet to the T since I don't want any leaks.. Wish these 9 days can go faster ... I am going back to work on Monday so hopefully it will keep my mind off of food... I didn't prepare myself emotionally for this. Idk if I am hungry or head hungry. I've been dreaming about food all week and when I wake up I am sad. They taste so good in my dream. Especially chocolate!!!! I am sick and tired of drinking the same thing and wish I could change it up a bit!!!!

Yes I have the same problem. Well right I'm just on liquid but I can't determine when is it enough. And missing food is hard.

4 days ago I had surgery. I don't feel like I had the surgery done lol. I've been drinking and drinking and no pain or feeling full. I am wondering if I actually had the surgery lol. Funny how every commercial is with food particularly pizza which I LOVE. I hope I can have it again. I want some right now. I know I am hot hungry but I made a mistake not training my brain and eyes. They are craving food and not my new tummy. I have 10 more LONGGGGGgGgG days on full liquid Uhg. Can it go any slower? I am trying to be patient but it's not easy. I come from a but family so there are lots of yummy food around me. They are being so nice and not eat in front of me but I know they are having delicious food. Can't wait to have mashed potatoes and pudding looking forward to that.

How is this possible? It's just been 4 days since surgery! Uhg I better go to sleep before I make a mistake and eat something I shouldn't. This sucks. Maybe it's all in my head but I feel empty. I am drinking cranberry juice but it's not helping. Is anyone else experiencing this? I hope it's just not me?!

I was so busy at my brothers engagement party that the day flew by and now I am tearing because my dream is coming true tomorrow OMG omg omg .. I am now feeling nervous and have lots of butterflies in my tummy. Tell me I will be okay and the pain won't be so bad please please please :/

Omg I hope he is okay. That's horrible. I will never take a shower again if I am lightheaded

Thank toy darling. I swear you guys are more supportive and caring than some people

No I didn't have any of those besides the bruising this morning. I am following the diet to the best of my ability. I am walking as much as I can but also resting. I've slept 9hours straight without waking up at all. I was light headed this morning, took some sips then a shower. I have no idea how I managed to take a shower because my legs were shaking. Now I am sitting and will watch some netflix while drinking diet snapple iced tea. It's just weird that I feel normal besides the above. No pain maybe just when I get out of bed and stand up or sit down. I hope he took enough stomach out lol.

Love you ahaha. I was ready to go to the ER. Haha I was sooo scared

It's been 5 days since I haven't used the bathroom. I am assuming this is normal? I did have gas throughout the day but no number 2. I'm on a strict 2 week liquid diet. What can I take? I am trying to go back to work on Monday so I would want to go number 2 before then...

This makes me so happy. I was soooo scared you have no idea . Like I said I felt like I didn't have the sleeve. I feel fine and no gas problems either. Can't wait to see the doc on Thursday so he can say in fine because I am ready to pull my hair out of my head ... One of the scars by the belly button is bruised. Is that ok to happen?

I tried the crystal light but I am not liking it maybe I should force myself. I am such a picky eater that it's ridiculous how I gained weight. Oh it was the soda and junk food lol. I am scared I have a leak since I can drink so comfortably without any restrictions. I have no pain at all. I feel fine

That's for sure thank you so much for such kind words. Can't wait to see that scale move for once haha

I didn't have second thoughts until I was in the operating room and they put the mask on me. I was scared started crying and breathing heavily. My nurse was so nice she held my hand and said everything will be fine just to relax and I closed my eyes tried to picture myself skinny and bum it was done when I opened my eyes. It's ok to have second thoughts but why would you want to change your mind after going through all the requirements? I had seconds thoughts after the surgery until te pain went away

You are right. I was so busy getting everything done for the insurance I didn't prepare my self at all. I was at the hospital for 3 days because I couldn't drink more than 2 ounces but as soon as I came home I wanted everything lol.. Even Milk which I never ever drink lol . I know it will get easier and this was my choice. I think my surgeon forgot to sleeve me because I can drink with no problem at all... No gas pain at all. Drinking liquids is time consuming. I want this to be over so I can eat some pudding and yogurt. It will make feel like human. Every time I feel ow and sad I come here and see pictures of others and receipts and how they can eat again. Makes me have hope. I haven't taken any medication since I got home .. Planning to go back to work on Monday since it will be easier not having a kitchen around haha... But honestly, is it normal that I can chug my juice(diluted) with no problem? I still for like plain Water which is sad because I love water.

Hey Hun. I'm doing okay. No pain but I am feeling emotionally sad. I miss food. Being just on liquids is hard ... I miss food I had pain on the second day but after that I was fine

I have no pain at all. I forget in the morning that I just had surgery. I am thankful for that. Just be prepared because I am wanting food that I would of never ate before the surgery. It's sooo worth it. I did regret surgery first day but not after that. I've been happy just miss food. You will do fine. Being your own pillow and it's a MUST that you bring a mouth wash omg it comes handy. Also lotion. A phone charger and extension is mandatory lol
