I haven't told anyone apart from BF, parents, sister and kids so I can't join any Facebook groups or instagrammers as I don't intend to share my WLS until I'm good and ready. Has anyone else decided not to share their journey?? Everyone I told is wholly against me doing this so it's no wonder I'm not bothering to tell anyone.



I'm not telling anyone either. Only my husband and best friend know. I haven't even told my mother.

Congratulations, ladies. I don't envy you your first week after tomorrow, because discomfort is the nicest word. But it'll pass.
My surgery was March 6th, and now, I already feel as if the surgery hadn't happened.
You guys won't regret this! I've lost a total of 35 lbs from the pre-op, to now. And I feel great!


That's fabulous! Congratulations!

@sarcruze@courtneyd @bones_girl206
Hey ladies! Just checking in on my fellow 3/29 sleevers! Post-op was rough for me...PAIN!!! But once they adjusted my meds, I got a lot better. I even walked the halls a couple of times. Still haven't had anything by mouth though. I have a EGD this AM. Hopefully after that, I can start sipping and be discharged home.

I was nervous all the night before. BUT, it went smoothly. I was up walking Day 1. Incisions hurt a bit last night. Still haven't passed gas or had a bm, so hopefully today. I'm exhausted from the consistent nurses and meds. But, feeling stronger daily.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
