Topic: 1 day post-op
Hi everyone,
Had my lapband surgery on yesterday, I slept the majority of the day. Today I'm feeling real sore and drinking water plus a little broth, I do not have an appetite. Overall I'm feeling good and doing some walking around. I will keep you all posted on my journey.
Hi Kym want to know how you feeling since you had your surgery on the same day. Hope you are doing good.

Hey, it's good to hear from you! I think it's normal to lose what we did, I lost about the same as you. I'd lost 10 lbs on the preop liquid diet and then another 13 lbs or so since. We'll get there! I just started mushies on Friday, what a change! Never thought I'd enjoy cottage cheese so much, lol!

Topic: RE: Let's talk loose skin
Hi
Loose skin, saggy skin is inevitable after losing a great deal of weight. However to what degree you will have it depends on things like your age, how long you've been overweight, skin condition/elasticity, general health, etc. Exercise is good idea...it definitely helps build muscle and that will somewhat reduce the flabby effect. The only way to really remove lots of excess skin is through plastic surgery.....
Good luck!

Hello! My surgery was also on April 13th.... I am feeling pretty good. Went to the Dr. for my 1 week post-op visit and was down 18 lbs!!!! Still a little sore on my left side and have low energy levels, but thinking that will all change when I start adding more things into my diet. I had todo liquids post op for 2 weeks. So monday I get to move on to puree foods! Glad you are doing great!
Topic: RE: April 16th has came and went...I feel AWESOME!
I had surgery at the big Barnes. Tired has almost been an understatement! It is like I hit a brick wall around noon, but it has gotten better the last couple of days. I drove today (to McDonald's of all places so my little one could have a happy meal) and it hurt getting out of the car but getting in wasn't too bad. I am going back to work on Tuesday so that will be the deciding day!
Keep me updated on how you are doing...Tammy

Topic: RE: 2 weeks out! report in!
I will be 2 weeks out on Monday. I am so tired. I got up this am and actually felt good. I thought I would go to a park and go for a nice nature walk. I took a bath, shaved my legs, and had to crawl back in bed. That simple act wore me out. I am tired of being tired. I just want to get up and move and do something. I am still sore on my right side, really bad, and protein shakes are disgusting. I liked them before surgery. I go back to the surgeon on Thursday, but according to my scales, I have lost 22 pounds. Am I every going to not feel tired??????
