I started mine the very next day after surgery, talk about being miserable lol. My cycle has been messed up ever since my surgery though. My second months post op, I didn't have a period. Third month I did though:)

First picture is pre op, second is 3 months post op!!! Half way to my goal!!

I didn't take my measurements, really wish I would have though. As of today, I'm down 50 lbs, down from a size 2XL shirt to a L, size 24 jean to a 16:)

Start weight-265/ jean size-a tight 22... (Refused to buy a 24)..shirts 2XL Today's weight-225/ jean size 18, shirts L Goal weight- 150

My surgeon told me as long as you lose at a steady pace and exercise you shouldn't get loose skin. Atleast not noticeable, if at all.

Roughly ever 4 hours.. I get the spasms almost every 2 hours after eating

Hey everyone! I am 2 months post op, and I'm having random stomach spasms. They kind of feel like hunger pains... But I'm scared if I eat every time I get them I'm eating too much. They can take my breath away at times.. I've had them since I left the hospital, I just figured they would go away.... Anyone else having this issue?

I need some advice.. How do you get past the head hunger and craving sweets?! I don't want to blow my success by eating something with sugar in it. I have a family reunion this weekend and I know it's going to hard around all the food... But I know I can do it, just wondering if someone can give me some advice to get through it. Thanks in advance:)

It is normal... I was sleeved on 8-20 and the pain just went away on 8-30... If I did to much, it came back.. But for the most part it's gone:)

My NUT told me gummies were the best... I use kids chewable gummies and b12 sublingual

I was sleeved on 8/20 and tried a piece of turkey yesterday... Just a small piece and chewed it a million times bc I know I'm not supposed to have it... But it was sooo good:-)

OMG the spasms are horrible!!! I had tried to lay in bed the other night and had to get up because they made my chest sore!!!! I beginning to wonder if it's acid reflux. I have been taking a PPI but I think maybe I will try a tums and see if that helps. Glad to know I am not the only one. Angie, I have started using children's chewable Tylenol... Miracle workers on the spasms... I was actually able to sleep for 6 hours before waking up to a spasm:-)

I too am having these pains. It wakes me up all hours of the night! Even when I try to nap, I'm lucky to sleep good for 2 hours before the spasms start!

I too am on liquids until Wednesday. I do not feel full... And as painful as the spasms are, I'm glad to hear someone else is having them. I was beginning to wonder if it was hunger pains! I'm still having my head hunger. Is this an issue for you also?

Hey y'all! I was sleeved on 8/20... Doctor said everything went well during surgery. I lost 20 lbs on the pre-op diet!! I've lost 8 lbs since being home on 8/21! I had a heck of a time in the hospital, confusing nausea for pain.. I have been experiencing stiffness and fatigue like crazy... All in all, I have been pushing clear fluids and now protein shakes. I wake up every 3 hours (when I do sleep) with excruciating muscle spasms in my stomach.. I'm hearing this is normal?!?! Otherwise, I feel great:-) good luck to everyone who has been or is getting sleeved! You got this!!

Ahhh!!! I'm working tonight then heading to the hospital when I get off!!! I can't believe the 20th is finally here!! I have been through a lot in the last 2 months and I'm finally doing something beneficial for myself!! I'm sooooo excited!! God bless everyone! Hoping all is well with everyone and a speedy recovery to all! I'll let you know how everything goes:-)

That's crazy how all doctors are different... My doctor requires 1 month of liquid protein shakes, 1 month purée, 1 month soft texture then I can eat normal foods... So by thanksgiving I can eat reg food

My surgery is Wednesday and I haven't done the best with this pre-op diet of liquids only... I've lost 12 lbs... I'm hoping that if I am really strict the next few days, all will go well. I've read where different people have different kinds of pre-op diets.. I work 3rd shift and some nights I feel like I have to binge to stay awake... I have to work the night before my surgery, which will be hard with nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I have to be at the hospital at 10:45 am, my surgery isn't until 12:45... Any advice?!

I have started talking to this guy who is currently out of town until the end of September for work. We went to school together, but didn't talk bc I was in a relationship. I will be getting sleeved on Aug 20... Do I tell him or no?!!?

It has drained me completely! I felt like I was coming down with the flu... I have found that the OTC ready to drink shakes have filled me up and lasted longer, not sure why lol. I does get easier though:)

I've been on my pre-op diet since Wednesday. I'm having a heck of a time with it. I can't stomach the protein shakes or the texture of the jello. I've been sleeping a lot when I'm off of work just so I won't eat, but then I'm so hungry I want to binge eat... Any suggestions??
