So today is day 4 and I feel like a new women!! The soreness is still there but tolerable. The hungry gargling feelig has subsided and I can not tolerate my required liquids so much better. I got on the scale and I have dropped 7 lbs since the morning of surgery!! I'm goi to continue to keep moving and sit up but sleeping has been a big help in healing for me. Good luck to all banders and to all this who have been sick too I hope today is your day!!

Lb love

J

Day 4 for me too - and feeling much better! The "pain" is really just soreness (except for the port site - that still hurts when the pain meds wear off). Still haven't slept for a long stretch yet, but am getting plenty of rest. The gas seems to have finally subsided - which ROCKS!! I am about to go on my first "field trip" = to Whole Foods to get some liquid stevia and check out their selection of Protein powders & shakes. Whoo Hoo! :P Hopefully that will go smoothly...

So glad you seem to be feeling better too! My first post-op check-up is next Thursday the 28th. I'm excited to see what the scale says then. (I have my own scale - and it seems to be going down - but I don't totally tust it I guess... LOL) Keep up the good work!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
