You look awesome!! Congratulations and I wish you more success in the future!!

I had an amazing NSV! I went to buy a dress for a wedding and they ALL looked good!! Haha, I couldn't decide between four different dresses!! That has never happened to me before! I was standing in...

You look great! Good job !

Amazing!! Congratulations!!

Thank you! The initial recovery was tough, but at "only" 10 weeks out, that is a distant memory. :) Good luck to you!!

Thank you!! :)

It's been a while since I've posted here, but I thought I would "check in", per se. It's been 10 weeks since my surgery and I am feeling absolutely wonderful. I can't even believe how much my life...

Congratulations and good luck! :)

I am one week post op and I just found the best "meal" today. Check with your doctor/nutritionist, but my nutritionist said this was okay for the liquid phase.

1/2 cup of part skim ricotta cheese...

Thanks, everyone. Your responses are a bit reassuring. I just feel like I can't do anything and it really stinks. Thank you for the reassurance though; I really needed it.

How long did it take you all to feel better? I still feel so tired and run down and in pain. My sister had her sleeve last September and she keeps saying that by four weeks she felt pretty good. How...

Thanks so much, everyone! My doctor did say small amounts of protein shakes are fine for me at stage 3, but I just wanted to make sure that not wanting anything was normal. I'll just keep on sipping...

Had my surgery this past Monday and I literally have no desire to eat. I have been just trying to drink some of a protein shake at "normal" meal times just to keep myself in the habit and to get some...

I may be wrong, but it could just be gas from surgery...? Either way, I'd just ask your doctor about it. Good luck and I hope you heal quickly!!

A little better, still! Pain is totally manageable. I was having a tough time urinating, but that's improving as well! (Hope that's now TMI) :) Thanks for asking!

Thanks, TinMan! Good advice. :)

Nurses keep telling me that I'm doing great! I feel good, I'm barely draining anything, and I can get up and walk around by myself relatively comfortably. My little sips of water or broth feel like...

Awesome, newu! Hope you're feeling well! :)

Had my surgery this morning and am finally sleeves!! It's certainly painful, but I haven't had any nausea and overall feel pretty darn good! I'm incredibly sleepy, but took a walk down the hospital...

Well, I know the point of the surgery is to learn moderation, but with the stages after surgery it'll be at least 2 months! That's a long time without a taste of pizza to me. :)

Thanks, everyone!!

My husband got home from work yesterday and I thought "ok, the weekend I've been waiting for is here!" All that's left to do is drink my liquids and show up for surgery on Monday morning! I'm so very...

You look INCREDIBLE! Congratulations!!

I won't be sleeved until Monday, so this is not speaking from experience, but I have heard that it gets worse. I think you should ask your doctor/surgeon. If you haven't already, you will probably...

Good luck tomorrow!! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!
