Looking for others that got their sleeve surgery on May 24th



Recommended Posts

Would love to converse with others that got surgery on the same day as I did so that we can compare our issues or triumphs and support each other.

I didn't get the sleeve but I did get the RNY on the same day as you. Welcome to being a loser (lol, I love saying that because it's such a good thing here and such a bad thing elsewhere. It's silly)

So.... I did what I swore I wouldn't and stepped on the scale yesterday. I was up 17 pounds from the time I was weighed before surgery.
That got me motivated to try to walk more and get more Fluid in. My problem is I haven't had a bowel movement since the morning before surgery and I know I'm super bloated. After walking a little over a mile and a quarter yesterday and drinking more Water, I was down 5 pounds this morning.
PM me if you wanna chat. I've been frustrated at the idea that I now know what to expect and am not surprised by any of it. I think I'm just cranky because of surgery

I am doing well. The belly is still pretty tight and sore but am able to move more. I am 7 days out now and able to eat and drink with no issues. Hope things are going well for you!

@Mamabear22I suppose it COULD be worse lol Today was great though. I have more energy, and less hunger/pain than yesterday.

Hello May 24th'ers, how is everyone doing? I am currently at 215 at the end of week 3, but have also lost 10" too. Even though the numbers are working for me, I have yet to feel a difference in my clothes yet. I am also having back pains like crazy, anyone else having this issue? My incision where the drainage port was is severely infected right now, but other than that, I feel great. The recovery after this surgery seemed way too easy, maybe that is why karma is slapping me with the infection! Hope you are all doing great and would love to hear an update if you get a chance!

Sleeve 5/24/17
I weighed myself and I told my daughter I was going to shoot scale off my patio. So I'm staying away from the scale.

I had horrible back pain the first 2 weeks. It's gotten a lot better recently. Today makes exactly 4 weeks post-op for us! Congrats everyone. :)

I've lost 21 pounds so far.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
