Thinking of you today and hoping you are doing well. I have slowed on weight loss and am in a bit of a stall. I have been increasing my walk distance weekly and trying to not pass out when I do. lol I walk twice a day. Let me know how things are going for you.

I hope you are doing well. I am doing better every day. I did have a little meltdown at Walmart yesterday...stayed too long. I have lost a total of 24 lbs (9 lbs preop) and am thrilled. I am on chopped foods and am finding lots to eat. It's just in tiny amounts. I doubled the length I walked today so I am getting stronger. Thinking of you and hoping you are doing fantastic.

Good luck I hope you continue to feel better day by day.

thanks to all the prayers and well wishes. I am doing pretty good, just sore and swollen in the belly. I know it takes time for the pressure to go away. I was up a couple of pounds since the surgery. thinking it has been from all the bag lquids they pumped into me. Eating is going slow, yogurt-cream soup-protein shake-G2. eating all in small amounts. My butt is sore from sitting, I have been getting a couple walks in a day. let me know how long it took you for the swollening to go down. Thanks to all my sleeve friends.

God Bless doll!! Check in soon!

Good luck, prayers goingup on your surgery!

Good luck and God bless!

I am so jealous and HAPPY for you all at the same time... I just pray my recovery is like yours... how much the first day did you walk?

hey! Absolutely no sickness what so ever or gas. I have a weird esophagus though that would make the gas issue no existent. I had a great recovery, no pain, everything has been going down just fine with no pain. I would say it took me a full 5 days to recover, but by a week post op i felt awesome

Hey! So my preop diet it was so easy. I only had to do clear liquids the day before surgery after I took a good dose of Miralax. The preop diet they had us on was 2 frozen meals a day, 2 servings fruits, 2 servings veggies, and 2 protein drinks a day. I think calorie wise I was hitting between 1300-1600 a day. The diet was really easy because it was a lot of food. The day before surgery was clear liquids. It was pretty hard, I was having a hard time with it and felt at one point like I was going to call and cancel. I actually started it 3 days before my surgery because I was really trying to drop some weight quickly. I don't know what it is, but when you're hungry it's hard to be strong mentally. The good news is after surgery, being on liquids is a piece of cake. Personally I am not hungry at all. It has been 10 days since my surgery and I feel great! (I actually another surgery on my esophagus at the same time) What is your preop diet like?

Wow Monday is your surgery? That's great! I would tell everyone the key to recovery is to get up a move as well as sip sip sip as much as you can. The more fluids you get in, the better you will feel at home. The more you move in the hospital with your little pain button, the less you will hurt at home. Take it easy this weekend! I know mentally how stressful it can be just before surgery.

We are going to be sleeved on the same day. I am really excited and trying to stockup on the first few weeks worth of food. I am having surgery in Lubbock TX which is 3 1/2 hrs from my home in Carlsbad NM. Three more weeks!! Best wishes to you.
