How Did You Feel After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I got approved in a day. I have to get the surgery done before the end of the month. I'm scheduled on the 31st, the same darn day my daughter continuates:(. Wondering how did you feel the day of? My doc is saying I'll be a little sore but should feel fine to sit through a 1hour program later that night. I'm excited but feel overwhelmed at the same time.

Remembering back, that day I was pretty out of it. My surgery was first thing in the morning and I was home by noon. I slept most of the afternoon, up around dinner time. Of course I couldn't eat, and had some pain from the surgery. But I didn't have an important event to go to either....for something like that I probably would have made it through! (fyi if that's anything like a graduation it will be much longer than an hour!). Hope you can coordinate everything!

I was rather out of it the evening of my surgery. I wasn't really in pain, but I just wanted to sleep. I was up and around a little bit more the next day, but I really took it easy for about 5 days.

I was miserable the day of and in pain. I can't imagine having to go somewhere afterwards to sit. Plus I still kind of felt out of from the anesthesia.

Once I got home my mom stayed with me for a few hours and I think I stayed up during most of that time, but after she left I was in and out of sleep for til the next morning.

I wasn't in real pain after surgery, just achy. I was also really sleepy from the drugs, but could have sat for an hour if necessary.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
