One Day Out - Burp It Out



Recommended Posts

I had mentioned in my lay post that I would send an update on my way home after being released...... Fugetaboutit.

you don't feel like posting after surgery...

I did really well after, according to the nurse, which was a surprise. When she asked me my name I gave her a "BUUUUUURP Browski mam".

And kept letting them rip. The nurses encouraged it, they said allot of people hold back and have allot of complaints about chest pains from gas.

No shame here, thank God, my wife loves me. She drove the two hour drive with me burping to the beat of the music, the words of the music, when there was no music.

Physically you feel like you were drugged, laid out on a table and had extra equipment added. I was able to walk out on my own.

Your abdomen will be sore, what can you expect? If your a hairy Swede like me, you will get a kick out of your shaved tummy. You won't be able to sleep on your stomach, but after a shot of pain meds, you sleep just fine in any other position.

You won't be thinking about food, just sip your liquids, I even had a couple of popsicles.

Ohhh and walk around, it will help work out the gas.

Woke up this morning feeling sore, just got up walked song, burrped some more, then got my phone.

all I know is it felt good after the surgery was done. No more "should I do it?", no more worrying about backing out, no more thinking about what I won't refer to eat or drink any more.

its done, now to start working on things I will get to have, one seat ticket on the plane, long walks with my family, not being called coach bigs. im happy.

Good luck on your journey! You will succeed! I was banded on 6/4/12 and have lost near 20 lbs so far.

      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
