OMG... first let me say that I am not happy to hear you are not feeling well, but I thought I was the only one not feeling well. I had surgery on dec 5 and Everyone else seems like they can do a marathon but I don't right now. I still feel weak and I have intermittent pain as well. I walk but by no means is it fast due to I still feel very sore. I'm glad someone else can relate. I was starting to feel like something was wrong with me. Hope we both feel better soon????????????

I know.., it's just discouraging a lil bit to hear some people darn near running 6 miles and I'm like "what's wrong with me"... but like you said we are healing and everyone is different.

Hi! I'm new to this app and would love to join you all! My husband and I are both having the sleeve gastrectomy on Monday, December 19. Most times I'm glad we're doing it together since it makes me feel a bit braver with him by my side, and then other times I think we must have lost our minds when we made the decision to do it on the same day!

@@kenz, thanks for sharing about your cousin, that's exactly what we envisioned- resting, healing AND losing together we've enlisted a few folks to visit us. I love that we're all surgery date buddies!!!

Today is day 8 since I got sleeved, really feeling good . No longer hurts to swallow easier to get moving but still get tired after my walk! Down 7 lbs since surgery.

Hope everyone else is doing good!

Surgery was yesterday, and so far feeling pretty good! Did have some gas pains last night but better today. Some discomfort but overall not too bad! Should be able to g0 home this afternoon, then on with the rest of my new life!
