NikkiRT 265 Posted October 16, 2016 I am5 days out from surgery and feel great! Energy is great and I had no complications or problems following surgery. Keeping up with fluids is not an issue and have felt no pain with drinking at all. So excited for what's ahead Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted October 16, 2016 feel great! Energy is great - no complications or problems following surgery. @@NikkiRT wow - so happy things are going nice and smooth it good for newbies to hear other newbies success early PO OP (newbies) seem to hear/remember bad stories/problems then they get nervous/scared hopefully many newbies are reading your words seeing your easy recovery (drinking going well too) you are understandably excited/looking forward to things you can only imagine what's in store for you next i'm gonna keep it a secret you'll be amazed at all your NSV's (non sleeve victories) ie riding an airplane without a seat extender!! good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

char3672 292 Posted October 16, 2016 I'm hoping for surgery in June '17. I wish it could be sooner, but I can't take time off from work, and I am off all Summer, so it seems like the best choice. I love hearing about these great experiences! I go back and forth worrying and feeling confidant. I hope I have a great experience.

nannare 38 Posted October 16, 2016 Char3672, take this time to prepare your body and mind. I went 6 months preparing and I'm glad I did.. it will be worth it..I'm 18 days out and doing good. No cravings and I've been out to eat with the family and it doesn't bother me at all, which is a good thing for me. I either eat what I can off the menu or I always have a bag of stuff with me that I can eat..it's been great..

I'm supposed to make my first appt with my coordinator in Jan. I wish it was tomorrow. I always read the posts on here, and I started reading The emotional first & aid kit. A practical guide to life after bariatric surgery. I want to learn everything I can I am so excited to START living. I have already missed out on so much.

Nani_Mae 4 Posted October 17, 2016 I had the sleeve on 10/11/16 and my stomach feels okay but i feel still so uncomfortable to drink and i have a headache every day since Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dobert 22 Posted October 17, 2016 I was sleeved 10/12 and I am having an exact opposite experience. I struggle to force myself to do anything, I have this awful rumbling air/gas thing going on which causes terrible pressure against my breast bone, and it hurts every time i sip anything. Each day is better than the last, but I'm still miserable. Everyone's journey is so different. Very ready to start feeling better.

TheRev 235 Posted October 17, 2016 Sounds like me! I'm a month and some change post-op and I honestly don't remember ever feeling this good. I've dropped 50+lbs since the start of the liquid diet pre-op and the weight is falling away. It's pretty f-ckin' awesome, yeah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
