NYCRN

I'm 5 weeks post op and Feeling great so far! I'm down 22 lbs since surgery and total 39lbs since the start of my pre op diet. I went from 232 to currently 193! I'm learning which foods i can eat and thing i can no longer tolerate or no longer like. I drink mostly Water and milk i haven't found any drinks that i really like. All the sugar free drinks don't sit well since surgery. How are you other April sleevers doing?

NYC here. Sleeved 4/15/18. Also looking for support. Would be nice to talk to people who understand what you’re going through

I feel I’m doing better with the depression. I’ve gotten back into a routine and plan to go back to work next week. Still have some lows. How are you doing?

I actually feel better myself. I too wanted to go back to work next week but my boss said I can't come back because I have restrictions. My doc wrote that I can't lift anything more than 15lbs at work for 4 weeks post-op. Otherwise I feel ok. Glad to hear you are doing better

The same with me. I’m 9 days post op and I had to do a 2 week pre-op liquid diet and now another 2 week liquid diet post-op. I can’t wait to have something of more substance. I have 6 more days

It’s almost like I feel the liquid hit my stomach and then being stretched. It hurts for a few seconds and then leaves. No heartburn feeling

I’m 9 days post op still have pain when I drink

Hi. NYC here too and looking for people who understand what I’m going through. I’m 9 days post op sleeve. Feeling scared about all the stuff I’m going through

I just downloaded this app and joined this forum for this very reason. I’m 9 days post op and feeling very depressed. I’m single and live alone. I had friends taking care of me for the first 8 days and now that I’m alone I feel worse.
I realize now that I ate out of boredom. I feel like I don’t have food to comfort me. It’s almost like losing a friend.
I’m also not having a great deal of success getting my Water and Protein in. I just pray it gets better.
Thank you for your post and sharing. You can talk to me anytime
