My starting weight was 330 in November 2014, morning of surgery 4/6 I was 299, now I am 248. I have had upper back pain constantly. I'm starting to stregthen my back, but as anyone else had problems with their back since surgery. I carried most of the weight in my belly It also doesn't help that I hunch over at work.

By my home scale it was 20lbs since starting the process in November and 11bs since surgery 4/6.

Surgery went great. No complications. I went home on 4/8. Thought they were going to keep me another night. Getting my fluids hasn't been a problem. Getting my Protein has been the issue. All the protein makes me feel gross. Tomorrow I get to introduce greek yougurt, cottage cheese, sugar free pudding, and pureed pears. There are more things, but I won't eat the others.

I have to be at the hospital at 6:15. Aside freezing right now I'm pretty good. Nervous, but that's expected. Here's to the new me!!!!!

I was sleeved on the 6th. The first day was gross. I ended up vomitting blood while in recover and the 2nd night I drank WAY TOO fast and vomited again. I was released on Wednesday evening and didn't have anything else that evening other than a few sips of Water. The next two days were okay with getting fluids down. Thursday was only 30 oz and Friday was 50oz. Today I'm up to 38oz so far. I've only taken pain meds the first night home and before I went to bed the 2nd night. Hope gets things better. I'm so ready to chew food.

I had my preop appointment on Tuesday and it showed that I have LVH, left ventricular hyperthrophy. So I have to see a cardiologist now to clear me for surgery. That'll be on Monday 3/30, my surgery date is 4/6. PLUS, they now said I have to go for an endoscopy, because I showed that I have reflux. Why did they wait until 10 days before the surgery to decide that I need to have the endoscopy. I had my Upper GI in January, why not do it then. Hopefully Monday will be okay and I can have the surgery.

I was cleared by cardiology!!!!!!!!

My surgery date is 4/6 and today i started the preop liquid diet. I have had the hunger headache all day. My coworkers were eating candy and i really wanted some and i was proud of myself that i didn't have any. Tomorrow i have my preop appointment bloodwork and stuff then work. Ive finally gotten nervous.

Im april 6th.
