@leal536... u will do just fine. I got a tiny little bit nervous the morning of surgery. But I was more excited than a child waking up on Christmas morning. Its what you make of your surgery. U go n with a positive attitude, and u will come out with a positive feedback. We all get nervous about surgery. No one I know likes surgery, or want to have it. But if u have too, then u have to.

I was up and walking by 8pm that night. My surgery was for 9:45 and by 10:30 I was out. The only problem was that I was n recovery so long,becuz I kept throwing up and they couldn't get me to stop. So mind you I was in there for 3-4hrs. My husband said I was so coo coo that it was not funny. He sd I sd I wanted to go to the bathroom sat on the bed and fell asleep. Stood up and fell asleep. Its funny now, but lawdddd I can only imagine. I'm down a good bit of weight from the 30th until yesterday. Weight in 273.. now 251.. I have been on liquids. Stomach is the size of the medicine cups u get with cough meds. I have no appetite. I can barely drink a bottle of Water, protein,or even eat sugar free Jello. I went bk to work that Monday after my surgery.. Jan.4

Went bk to working out Saturday past. Walking on treadmill anywhere from 15-30min. At 2.4 speed and incline 3.0 and up to 15.. but I am walking veryyyyyyyy slow.

You have done great, I hope I can continue the positive vibes:)I'm getting sleeved 2/1

Had 1 month check up (sleeved 12/18).

Down 28lbs

Finally out of the weight restriction period and I can eat far more normal foods.

Doc said to focus more on keeping heart rate at 120 for 20 mins as the 30-60 min normal walks are becoming less and less "Cardio" work outs and more just normal thins skinny people so without thinking.

I'm in the market for a HR monitor.

Also this opens up to do some weight training and I'm excited to start out small and work my way up. I have some 15 and 20lb dumbbells I can dig up out of the closet.

Sorry Folks I haven't been able to post since New Years Eve, no internet. What a crazy New Year. Went shopping New Year's Eve Day came home in the afternoon and had no AC. I know your saying AC in this weather but I do live in South Florida in a double wide mobile home. Checked a few things and started calling my AC people. I know the owner so when I couldn't reach the office I called him at home. He knows of my situation so he sent someone over within a few hours. By the time someone came it had reached 89 degrees in the house and we were packed as we had a feeling nothing would be done. We were right as the unit was completely frozen. We have a friend who is in a Nursing home so she offered us her home. She use to work for the owner of the AC place. She had no internet, so I was limited in my ability to get online. We finally moved back home Friday.

Today I had my 4 hour pre-admission workshop which consisted of a weigh in since my last one in Nov. Bloodwork up, explaining the preop diet and all the prescriptions we have to get etc. I had to leave at 10 am and got back home at 4 pm.

Next Tuesday this time I will have had my gallbladder removed and have started my new sleeved life.

Just had my surgery today! Feeling great????

[cindyw41 761]

Doing good here! A week out from surgery, I've lost 11 lbs. getting fluids in, fighting head hunger is a challenge but I keep reminding myself that feeling isn't real lol I went back to work today, then to the store for a few things, came home and took an hour nap, it was too much I'd say. I am actually looking forward to cooking again. We have a big snow storm coming this weekend (east coast.. Maryland) so I may be snowed in to play ????

Does that include hospital gain? I came home from surgery 5lbs heavier than I went in. I'll be 1 week post op tomorrow and down 7 lbs but was up 5 so really only down 2. Just a little frustrated because I'm getting all my Protein and liquid in and walking.

@@losergrl75 I didn't weigh myself when I came home from the hospital on Thursday. I weighed myself Friday and I had lost 4lbs since the surgery day. I drank Protein a couple of times since surgery but my dr wanted me to concentrate on fluids for the first two weeks. So I'm sure the lack of calories has a lot to do with my loss. I see him next Wednesday, that's when I start adding protein back into my diet.

Thanks for the feedback, I know it's best not to try and compare especially when each plan is so different.

I was sleeved on 1/7 so far so good. I literally never feel hungry. I walk around with my water bottle to make sure I'm getting my liquids in! I'm excited to be taking this journey.

[kickinit 13]

The biggest problem I've had (which my surgeon never brought up as a possible problem, especially for people who are prone to it) is Constipation. It's no joke when you're not getting Fiber, and even though I've gotten in 64+oz of Water in everyday... It's been a struggle. Miralax or milk of magnesia... Have it on hand.

I'm totally going to 2nd this! This is my current situation and worst nightmare! My body is on strike !

[leal536 19]

Was just sleeved on 1/19. Going home today. I am feeling great. Haven't had a chance to weigh yet so don't know what I have lost.

Sounds like every one is doing well.

January 26th, 2016! So excited!

[ssflbelle 829]

Me too Jan 26th. I haven't heard what time yet. They will call Monday between 3-5. I started my 2 day Clear Liquids today. Had chicken Soup, a Jello and SF popsicle stick. It is 8:30 and I am getting hungry and I am cold so I am thinking of having another Soup.
