April Sleevers

[naiad 51]

April 18th. I'm still getting used to the fact that I committed to the surgery. Do the doubts ever go away?

Mine is the 23rd and I'm not sure! I still have them.

I’m scheduled to have the sleeve on April 3rd. I’m currently on day 3 of my 2 week clear liquid diet & it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done! 😔

April 11th. I'm starting a new job exactly two weeks after surgery, hopefully I'll be ready to roll by then!

Hi Angie,

why was your surgery awlful? I hope you are doing better!

I started my period the day of my surgery. So the entire time I was in the hospital I was bleeding really heavily, the pain was unbearable even with medicine. I couldn't do any walking because I would almost pass out every time I tried to stand up. I could hardly make it to the commode to go to the bathroom. I couldn't wipe myself. I bled everywhere. It's been 11 days and I am doing better, but there was a point there at the beginning that I didnt know how I was going to get through it.

I agree. I’m on day 6 and it’s still tough. However I’m only on liquid, not clear.

I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. Yesterday was ok until the evening came. I felt really bad, but I realized that my calories were pretty low. However, I lost 3 lbs! But I am going to do better today calorie wise.

11 days and doing better

@angie_is_losing_it

i'm so sorry you are having a rough time. I know many OP have had their period during/right after surgery.

For many, that must be an awful experience dealing with it and just having had WLS. not being able to walk, bathroom issues - all that blood. i can only imagine how you feel, not good. 😪

Glad things are turning around now, hopefully you will feel better day, by day.

good luck

I hope they do. Especially with some people telling you that you can just lose it on your own. 😞
