surgery went well trying to get Water in. going to rest. musicteacher hope all is well.

All is well, thank you joann852. I was told not to take my ADHD medicine today and made a fool of myself. When in the recovery room I asked the nurse what the second song was the Drs were listening to while my surgery was going on. Scared her for a minute. With my meds, I wouldn't have done that. Of course, I was out and couldn't hear the music.

Other than being a brat, I'm doing well. I took a walk as soon as I got back to my room and got home about an hour ago.

Tomorrow morning at 7:30am im getting banded, I lost 30lbs during the pre-op!! Yea me!

Edit:

One clarification: I started a version of the pre-op shortly after my appointment with my nutritionist, so in about 1.5 months.

Also I didn't cheat once not ever, it wasn't always easy to walk away but I always did.

August 27 here -- I guess I'm doing okay. I feel like I have so many things that I have to take care of (kids starting school next week, starting a new job on Tuesday) but in reality the only thing I have to take care of today is myself.

And maybe the living room, 'cause DAMN! :P

Officially 1 week post op and I'm glad it's here! A little rough the first week but it gets better by the day, believe that. Day 1, I would have never believed I would feel this good by day 7! Looking forward to 2 weeks post-op! Getting hungrier each day, my stomach actually growels now but it's quickly shut up with half a Protein Shake. By the half, I'm not hungry anymore. My first fill is September 25th!! I'm not regretting my choice, now to feel good enough to run again, tomorrow will be the test!

      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.
