Kimturk71 and lzj21248, my surgery is also tomorrow morning at 8:30AM.:smile2: It is nice to know that we are all in there together. I don't know about you but I haven't been too nervous yet, just very anxious. I wish you both the best of luck and we will have to compare stories when it is all over. :blushing:

Until then,

Sarah

Hello everyone 4 days out and feeling pretty good. I would like to know what everyones eating right after surgery?

I have no appetite at all. I am drinking crystal light, apple juice 1/2 & 1/2 Water. juicie-juice, protien drinks, . No pain pills, sleepy more then usually. When I get tired I lay down. Been getting up at 4-5 am in morning just to walk around in the house, feel good. Can't sleep.

Does any one have the same problems. Hot slashes too, fresh air feels so good. cherie

Hi Cherie, I was operated on the day after you. Feeling really good, and like you, no appetite at all....which is fine by me! I'm having Optifast shake for Breakfast, a little bit of pear juice, diet soft drink and mineral water. I had some cream of chicken Soup for dinner last night, because I thought I should, rather than wanting anything. Still a bit bloated, and no BM as yet, (that's what the pear juice is for) and this morning I put some fibre powder into my shake....we'll see how that goes. It is just so strange, to not feel any hunger! Best wishes, Kerry

Well, the day has finally arrived. I will be heading out soon for the surgery center. I don't feel nervous or scared. It's almost like I don't feel anything. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Good luck to all my fellow 10/25 bandsters!!! Hope to hear everyone's story within the next couple of days.

And good luck to all the other future October peeps.

Say a prayer.

Nina

Cherie,

I was banded Oct 12th and I felt just like you. I didn't have any appetite and my hubby had to make me get in my Water and shakes for Protein. I didn't even want my crystal light at first. I was also very sleepy.

Sure! We all need all the support we can get. I was going nuts on this diet, but I adapted it to fit my needs, being allowed RAW veggies, I didn't see a problem cooking them. So once a day I eat low fat low carb veggies in some form.

Had a really bad day today, had anxiety attack about dying during surgery. Most days I'm good, but once in a while it gets to me. Best of luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
