I’m 59 and was sleeved on 7/17/18. I lost 37 before and 29 after. It’s coming off slow and steady. I had a lot of problems with nausea-it was my chewable vitamins. I got permission to switch to tablets and I take less but still have to have a few spoonfuls of yogurt on either side or I still get nauseated. That and I’m still working on 2 oz of puréed/soft protein which is our Stage 4 out of five stages.

Yes, I’m learning not to stress my sleeve and not rush the protein/fluid goals. As long as I’m hitting them by the time I see my dr in two weeks. I made a promise to myself to take things as they come and do things in my own time. I wouldn’t let the staff in the hospital push through post op diet stage one and two because I was so nauseous for the first 36 hours. On the 19th my surgeon came to see me and told me the first 36 hours are usually hard. Might have been nice to know that! But I did go home on the 19th. My surgeon is world renowned and used the Da Vinci robot which I never saw but must ave been in the OR.

The first 36 hours after my surgery I was so nauseous. But they gave me some meds and something for my sinus headache. The next day was totally different. Night and day.

Hi, I had my surgery July 17.

You look great! What a difference! I have rashes and yeast before surgery so I’m expecting the same once my skin is saggy. And my WLS surgeon does tummy tucks.

As you can imagine it won't be as easy in the good old USA. I do have a couple of co-morbidities. I need my knees replaced because of arthritis and the ortho suggested the weight loss surgery. I'm hoping insurance will pay for the knees and the weight loss sx.

Sorry I'm all new to this. I thought it took about five months from decision to surgery date because of all the appointments with a psychiatrist, nutritionist, etc. You look great, btw!
