Tssiemer, I am so glad to see your feeling better. I've been wondering about you. Hopefully you don't feel bad anymore.

Bloomer, how are you feeling? Is it hitting you yet?

Brittney, I promise it won't take forever as it seems. It's almost May. Can't even believe it. Summer is coming and that always goes by fast lol.

[Brittneysue12345 18]

I keep saying that lol summers always over befor we know it lol

Just so ready

[Bloomer723 75]

I'm ready. Bag packed, kids at granny's and husband briefed on departure time in the morning. It will be weird to be the one in the hospital bed. I'm always the family member at bedside and I work in a hospital. I will touch base with you all tomorrow. Think happy thoughts for me!

Brittney, it's crazy how fast summer will go but to you, it might feel like forever now. I had to do this for 9 months. 11 months all together. It's a good thing to wait since you can see what everyone goes through and experience. Gather information up too. I'm here if you have any questions or anything. I am 11 weeks out now and it's has its up n downs. It gets better as time goes.

Tssiemer, I am so happy your better. I really am! Are you doing the liquid diet we were on for pre op? Or just watching what you eat?

Bloomer, good luck with everything and it might be rough the 1st week. Definitely the first couple days, but I promise, it gets better. I am here for you!

Bcostasbiggs, how are you doing?

[Tssiemer1 549]

I'm following the diet to a tee. Except I cheated with almonds once. I started the pre diet early too in case of something happening. I'm on day 7.

I am so much better, physically! I've had two c-sections, and breezed through those compared to this. But, after a week, I feel pretty good. Still working on getting my Protein down, but I talked to a nurse at Dr Thompsons yesterday, and she said I'm doing OK. I've lost 25 pounds, 12 of those were on pre-op diet.

How do you know that your sleeve is healed I've had my sleeve for about 21 days now and I want to start lifting weight but I don't know if I'm healed yet to start weights or spinning .

Hey guys! Surgery went well but it was my first time with anesthesia and let's just say I'm a lightweight and apparently have sleep apnea.. I ended up having to go to the medical step down unit ( between icu and floor status ) because I needed On a non rebreather machine because I was having respiratory issues . I'm doing much better now but they had to keep yelling at me to wake up so I would breath. Morphine was too much for me too causing me to be too sedated. I've been feeling much better but may have to stay another night.

[Tssiemer1 549]

Glad you're doing better!!

[MollyF22 62]

Bcostasbiggs, that's good your much better. It will all keep getting better too. Definitely with the weight coming off.

Bloomer, that's so scary to think that you have apnea and they had to wake you up different times. But at least you know your in good hands and they took great care of you obviously. I'm just happy your okay and hopefully you will be feeling good too. I had to stay an extra day so don't feel bad. It's better to be in a safe place.

How do you know that your sleeve is healed I've had my sleeve for about 21 days now and I want to start lifting weight but I don't know if I'm healed yet to start weights or spinning .

I wasn't allowed like 2 weeks to lift anything over 20 pounds but that's it. You should be okay to do whatever you want to do. But just take it easy as you can so you can see what you can do.
