Not a bad night. Slept on my very comfy couch pretty much sitting up. Side sleeping was too uncomfortable. I think I'll be fine sleeping in bed tonight on my back. Got up this morning all full of energy, broom swept the floors, unloaded the dishwasher, fed and watered the dogs, wiped down the kitchen counters and did a bit of light dusting:-) Now gonna relax a bit a have my morning Protein shake.-) I have only taken one dose of children's liquid Tylenol since getting home yesterday afternoon. No gas pains, as of yet. I have heard others getting them later post-op. Minimal pain at port site. Plan on getting a shower and venturing out for a bit later. Praying that this continues ...... Hope everyone else that got banded with me yesterday is doing as well or better!!

I am 5 days out. I got out of the house for the first time today. I have been taking it easy. I have had a lot of gas pain and some discomfort from the surgery but all in all have been doing good. I am normally the type that is back to to work 2 days after a surgery, but this one I am taking my time and making sure I am following what I should be doing. Good luck!

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

      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
