Definitely not getting in enough fluids or Protein. The only protein I get is in what little food I eat. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 8/10/16 I had serious buyers remorse too. It's getting better, not completely gone yet. I really haven't had any problems with pain or nausea. I just really miss food. Like I said it's getting better every day though. HW-289 SW-282 CW-249

I think she said "dumping" not "dumplings"???? Two very different things????

My doc told me at my 2 week post op that my incisions were healing well and that I could take a bath and soak. Even though I still have glue and scabs where my incisions are. I'm 15 days post op. Sleeved August 10th Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel you completely. I am so sorry I had this surgery. I am 2 weeks post op today and have never wanted a cheeseburger so bad in my life. I know everyone is going to say, I shouldn't have had the surgery them. I totally agree, but I can't do anything to turn back the clock now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 8 days post op and cannot eat anything, I am so over the full liquid stage, everything I can eat makes want to gag! I hate sugar free stuff, and the cream soup and broths are not cutting it for me. I am regretting this decision

I am only 10 days post op and have had serious buyers remorse. I am not doing the whole full liquid stage well. I hate sugar free anything, I get headaches from artificial sweetners. It doesn't help that my kids and husband are savoring things like pizza and cheese and crackers and anything else I cannot eat. I am sure this will pass ( at least I hope so) and I will be able to eat again, but I do not like this phase.

I've had all those feelings too. Today I had a breakdown. My husband bought pizza for him and the kids tonight and that's one of the things I've been craving the most.

Hello out there. I am finally scheduled for my VSG, on August 10th. I am feeling a range of emotions from excitement to apprehension to fear. I cannot wait to start my new healthy life! I have no co-morbidities, I am just extremely overweight and want to around for my children for a very long time. My pre-op diet starts on the 27th of July. How are the rest of you feeling?????

I'm beginning to feel better, I can finally sleep on my side again???? I'm so over the full liquid stage though, nothing tastes good and artificial sweeteners are giving me headaches. How are you doing?

How are you feeling after your surgery?

I had my surgery on August 10, 2016. I wound up spending 3 nights instead of 1 in the hospital because the nausea was so bad, I never did throw up though. I almost had to have a catheter placed because I could not urinate, not sure why though. They did an ultrasound on my bladder and said I had 3 or 4 cups of urine, yet I did not feel urge to urinate. I can't sleep, i'm used to sleeping on my side and am forced to sleep on my back for now. Getting out of bed is still extremeley painful. I sneezed for the first time since surgery today and felt like my incisions were going to rip open. I only take the oxy at bedtime to help me sleep though. Yet I have this horrible taste in mouth when I wake up. My arms are bruised beyond belief from the heparin shots they gave me in the hospital. I am sure I will eventually be glad I had the surgery, I am just having a hard time right now. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

How are you feeling after your surgery?

I am so scared and excited for tomorrow! My check in time is 5:30AM but since I live an hour away from the hospital, I have to be up by 4:00AM I have been on the no solids all day and my head is killing me! I cannot wait to be on the losers side! Good luck tomorrow!

My surgery is August 10th as well. My 2 week preop diet starts on the 27th. I already had all of my labs and my preop appointment. Just waiting on the phone consult August 1st with the anesthesiologist. I am so excited, nervous and scared!

My surgery date is August 10, 2016. My Pre op diet starts July 27th

I am allergic to all types of adhesives. My doc suggested using surgical glue to close my incisions. Has anyone else had just surgical glue to close their outer incisions? How did they or are they healing?

Has anyone had their surgery on a Friday and been able to go back to work the following Monday? I have a desk job.
