That's too bad! Hug a pillow when you have to sneeze next time and see if that helps. I haven't been home to weigh myself since Thursday, but at that point I was 10 days post-op and down 15lbs.

And btw I'm Susie

Yes weight lose has been going well I am about 13 days post op. I am going to start traveling with my pillow because that pain right there is unbeatable ...

I was the 17th. Healed enough for first bath tonight - awesome but didn't soak long

Finding the liquids surprisingly ok.. preferring broths to shakes but harder to get the Protein in. Worst bit : self injecting clexane anticoagulant. Best bit: 5kg gone in 8 days

Enjoy... the best is yet to come!!

Is anyone else having that strange dizzy/lightheaded/foggybrained feeling after surgery? I can't seem to shake it

Lapband revision to gastric bypass on 12-14-2016

Weight day of surgery: 308.2 lbs

Current weight: 300.8

Total weight loss: 7.4 lbs

I had mine on the 27th and feeling that way, plus nauseous. Is this a normal feeling?

My name is Mario. It's almost debilitating when I sneeze. I have lost 25 pounds since surgery ... I am extremely tired of broths and ready to try soft and puree food can't wait until the 3rd of January for my post op.

Sneezing really hurt! It finally felt better after about 9 days post-op.

I just had sleeve surgery on 12/23 and I'm feeling pretty good. I have a pain on my left side, under one of my larger incisions, but other than that, I'm doing pretty well. How are you all doing?

Sleeved 12-25 went back to work this morning and starting soft food, i had some salmon today but ate too quickly, ended up feeling nauseous and tried to wash it down with Water,,,

big mistake,,,,,,

It ended up making me feel worse and i threw up the Water. I guess i still need to learn how to eat slowly.

Oh yeah, liquids definitely don't help when food gets stuck. I was sleeved on 12/23/16 and I still forget and eat too fast. Yesterday, I did it agsin wuth a hard-boiled egg. Did you get the "slimies", as I call them (it's gross, but it's a build-up of thick, clear mucus)? Nothing except spitting it up will help. Quite a learning curve!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
