Sounds like you are doing great! A lot of people don't feel any restriction until they have their first fill, once the swelling from surgery goes down. Glad to know you are doing so well.

Worried all the time if eating to much and was i hurting myself.Have had two fills now and the second fill has kicked my butt. I can eat sometimes and then sometimes it just comes back up i think i'm eating to fast don't know yet.:(

I am also 7 days out and i do feel a restriction. Im sure it is just swelling. My physician wont do a fill until 8 weeks post op to ensure ALL the swelling is gone first. I seem to have alot of problems with gas... both ends.. I dont get pressure in my chest so much as it feels like their is air in my stomach that needs to come out and cant get back up thru the band. I dont like it. I am sick of liquids.. sick of worrying about what im going to eat.. and tired of my port hurting.. and i am starving all the timne!! I just keep thinking about when i am able to eat regular food. By then i should feel better.. and to top it all off I have lost 15 pounds in 7 days so that is exciting.

Hanging in there,

Kathy

Kathy! 15 lbs in a week?!?! I hope I am that lucky.

I am starving. I am being honest and faithful to this. I am on liquids and aside from three baby spoon size bites of mashed potatos, and three baby spoon size bites of SF pudding, I am on only liquids.< /p>

I go back to work Monday. And am actually looking froward to it, maybe it will take my mind off all of this for a major portion of the day.

I get pains across the chest, between my breasts, and it is cold and horrible. It is usually followed by my stomach growling. (your stomach growling is your stomach disgesting something that is not there)

I sucked on a SF popcicle a few mins ago. I never finish them when I do have one, usually only 1/3 of it if that much.

I am not looking at pounds. I want to get into my work clothes. 14/16 sizes. I am currently in 22/24.

I am walking what do you have planned for exercise? I am hoping that makes this weight drop faster.

      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.
