I was banded Thursday and I have a post opt diet to follow no solids for three weeks. Thin liquids first week, thick liquids second week, mushers third week. I drink Muscle Milk Protein Shakes they're delicious especially the Cookies and cream.

My surgery is December 17th!! I've been on the liquid diet 4 days now, it's hard, but I actually feel great and it's boosted my inner strength somehow. I also started seeing a therapist this week to give me support through all of this. There is nothing wrong with taking charge of your health and happiness. Be proud, and I'll be sending good vibes your way! :)

amen girlfriend!!!

I have a panic attack disorder and have to see a therapist weekly. Mine is looking forward to helping me with the anxiety.

Good luck tomorrow Marybell!

Im up and moving for a few, ive been relaxing in the recliner since about 6. so 4hours maybe- when i woke up i was throwing up so they gave me medicine which knocked me out and when i came to i was throwing up more. so i had to stay longer then expected. surgery was done at 11. but wasnt discharged until 430. the nurses stuck me 7x to get a iv line. finally the charge nurse had to do it. when i woke up i was so sore and uncomfortable. but around 2 that wore off and i wanted to pee and walk. so i did. its nice to be home in my own chair though. my arms feel heavy and my left side of my stomach is sore. doctor said my liver looked great. i did have an umbilical hernia but that is all no heital hernias. thanks for all ur support dear

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
