I just wanted to Celebrate how good I feel. I am 16 days out and no issues. No nausea. A little tired now and then but over all I feel so lucky.

I keep reading about everyone's "issues". So maybe we need to show newbies how many people feel great after surgery! I do!

(I hope I don't jinx myself :)

Thanks for this thread. I'm scheduled for April surgery but lately Ive been doing so much research in complications and problems that I'm scaring myself out of it. It is reassuring to be reminded that so many people DONT have problems and it reassures me that I'm making the right decision. Thanks and best of luck with your continued success!

I am 5 months out tomorrow ! Had no complications at all! Each of us are very different and there is no way to know if you will have any issues. Keep your eye on the prize and focus on the positives!!

Little over a month PO and doing GREAT!! No pain or nausea. Lost 25#'s. I am so happy I made this decision. I am most excited that from day one I have had normal blood sugars, normal blood pressure and normal cholesterol. That is the best part. I traded all my life threading Meds for vitamins!

Almost 2 months out and almost 30lbs down. From the moment I woke up from surgery I have felt amazing and absolutely no complication and only a little sore, but since then I've been floating on cloud nine. I'm a very slow loser and have been in a stall for several weeks ( lost a few recently) but I don't care. I FEEL GREAT!

I too had a simple recovery. I feel very fortunate for that and for having the sleeve. No more diabetes meds. The eating is beginning to feel like my new normal. My surgery was December 3rd.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
