I honestly dont know im not really doing the portiom thing ... i eat as much or as little qs my body asks... i am just trying to avoid sugar carbs and all that extra stuff and taking my vitamins as directed... i am walking/jogging 3-5 miles 4 times a week

That's awesome 👏👏👏... you are doing great... ive also lost 30 pounds and my surgery was on March 2nd. My highest was 216, Surgery weight was 210 I am at 180 now... absolutely best decision ever made!

5 days later how you feeling @Orinskye

@Orinskye how are u feeling today?

I thought about you all day today... i am glad to hear your home... my dr. Told me not to worry about oz the first day do as much as u can and dont push yourself... start tomorrow use the little cups they gave u and time ur shots through out the day!!! You got this !!!

Sounds like a alot i commend you for taking this step towards your health... you're right he'll make the change when he's ready... indirectly i think the example your giving him is better than anything you could tell him... sorry if im over stepping... my name is beri theri... because i am a therapist ... and the therapist in me always comes out.... definitely focus on your journey right now!! Sending u positive vibes 🙌

After having gotten it... i dont understand how more people dont do it... perhaps one of the best decisions i feel great... all the bad food and alcohol gone... even my skin is looking better... i lost 15 pounds the first week, 5 pounds the second, i stalled this week ... but i hear that its common around week 3 ... removing all the bad is great.. youve made a great decision... a friend who got it years ago who suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure is no longer struggling with these conditions... you're brave youll do great!

Woo you're almost there!!!! When your discharged they'll put a sticker behind your ear that will help with the nausea... try not to take then pain meds they give u... they are super strong... get urself some liquid tylenol in case of pain... i am so surprised at how smooth everything has gone... plan out the shows ur going to catch up on or get a book ... walk walk walk!!!

I walked for 20 minutes every 2 hours ... I started in my lawn ( day one and two post op)... i didnt want to pass out in the street. Then i moved to walk around my block.. now i go to the park. DEFINITELY DONT OVER WORK YOURSELF... if you work too hard one day u might not be able to move the next.

How exciting you are almost there!!!! Yes take a week off mom duties 2 days are not enough.... I am 2 weeks out and I am feeling great...i do see food and crave it ...then i remind myself that i struggle with water and the cravings go away...my husband picked up my meds before picking me up... they didn't ask for my card but i think having a picture is a good idea... throught your stay there will be a nurse with u and she will be in constant contact with ur point person.. the staff is great! I STRONGLY recommend that you walk as much as possible as soon as you can.. picture urself walking to recovery... i lost 15 pounds the first week and only 4 week 2... so the first week is crucial... my surgeon checked in with me day 8 and switched me to the puree diet because it was so much weight for one week.... i went in at 210 currently 190.... he told me that the person who he spoke with before me had only lost 5 pounds and was still in pain because they were not walking.... yes it could be uncomfortable but the pay out is well worth it.... as of now its one of the best decisions 9 have ever made!!!

Oh im sorry to hear that support is nice.. the day after i told my friends i had 3 flower arrangements sent ... I had not told my in-laws but when my husband told them they came also brought some flower its a little different i known my husband since kindergarten we attended a little catholic school so all the families are pretty close my mother in law took care of me as a kid.. and the cravings are all a mind thing.. when i see food i crave it for a second then think about how full i get from a sip of water and cant even imagine eating... i tell my friends from here on out im just going to lick everything lol... well keep strong 💪 this is a huge positive step for your self 👏

Oh no no epidural.. honestly it was painless... more of an uncomfort feeling but nothing really caused pain... and my tolerance for pain is very low... the gas pains like i said ...u just have to walk through.... i never took the pain meds that they gave me at discharge...my sister is an rn and told me they might do more harm then good... she said they might cause me to throw up and that would hurt...they gave me hydromorphone... she said it was stronger than morphine...I literally told my immediate family a week before surgery... i didnt want my parents and husband to worry for too long... i told my friends immediately after ... i wasnt ashamed i just wanted to prevent anyone trying to talk me out of it...BE EXCITED!!!! Oh I did take tylenol liquid the first day but i think i did it to prevent future pain 🤷🏻‍♀️

When i was being discharged i heard the nurse saying to another person " you got the strict doctor make sure you take all your liquids on these medicine caps" she pointed at me and said you got lucky.. but it will all be worth it... the nurses there are awesome, the anesthesiologist everyone make sure not to take cash on surgery day just and id and ur kaiser card even waiting for the surgery is chill you get a blanket and tv...

I did not... the week prior to the surgery... i had a phone apt with the dr. He basically told me not to eat solids 2 days before surgery and asked if i had questions... and a phone apt with the nurse the scheduled a pregnancy and a covid test for me...i just had to walk in to any kaiser lab 3 days before surgery...I also never had a psych eval 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yay! I am 5 days out and feeling great the first 2 days were more uncomfortable than painful walking it definitely your best friend you literally have to walk through the gas...and there is a lot of gas... i didnt need to take any of the pain meds they prescribed .. i used liquid tylenol twice and that was good enough.. i also reccomed isopure for the liquid protien ... it has twice the protein then premier... Good Luck

I was worried about my face being so red.. thanks fod letting me know...what did the dr. Tell you qbout it?

I been walkinf as much as possible trying to avoid taking the pain meds as much as possible.. i actually haven't taken any since being discharged i was given a few there...thanks!

Surgery went well currently experiencing some gass pain but not to bad...hoping that there isnt much change in next few days

My surgery was yesterday. I had a great experience feeling some gas pain today but its tolerable... good luck

Sending you over all good vibes! So exciting!

MARCH!!!!!! what is evweyone stocking up on... what kind of protein? Jello? Broth?

All surgeons are different my sleeve is Tuesday I wasn't ordered a liquid diet either.. actually found out 10 days before the surgery of the surgery everything was halted due to covid and the surgeon just gave the green light and everything is moving teally fast..Good Luck

I will thank you!

Im so anxious too 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tuesday is the big day.. everything is moving so fast... i got the call friday, i had 2 apts yesterday, one tomorrow, covid test Saturday and surgery Tuesday.
