I felt much better day 3-4, and went back to dork day 6. I am tired at the end of the day, but I was before the surgery too. Hang in there it will get better.

I was banded 5 days ago and went and walked around shopping for two hours yesterday and feeling pretty good today. I have discovered getting a double shot of Protein with only 8 oz of milk= 40 grams of protein, has helped me get through the day. Also, I'm taking a chewable 5000 B-12 tablet, chewable Multivitamins, and a chewable Vitamin D-3. Check to make sure your getting all your Vitamins in every day and lots of Water. Hope you feel well soon!!

I was banded on the 15th. I went for a 20 minute walk the following day, and was fine, but then I was very sore yesterday. Today has been better, still relaxing but getting acclimated. I think I'm hungry, but I'm not sure lol, I guess I'm learning :-).

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
