It didn't hurt as bad as I had anticipated. I was discharged this morning. My surgeon said my liver looked great, so my starving wasn't in vain ;-) I'm on a schedule of walk, walk, walk, SIP, SIP, SIP & sleep today. :-) Thanks to everyone who has offered kind words and advice that helped me get this far. My new journey begins!

glad you had a better time than i did. I literally just got home. spent 2.5 days in the hospital I had a lot of nausea and they didn't want to send me home in case i couldn't keep fluids in. He said he has become a bit more aggressive in stitching the band in place which causes a tighter affect. I'm just glad to be home. Glad you did well, and look forward to us all feeling a bit better than we do right now.

I did vomit yesterday. Got up too soon. Not a good feeling. Sorry it was such a nightmare for you RichGirl :-( but I'm glad you're home now! My struggle now is Water intake. Trying to get my 64 oz in is tougher than I'd ever imagine! Try to stay on top of your pain!

You're really not expected to get 64 oz the first 48 hrs. You're very swollen. 1oz every 15 mins.

Hi, I was banded yesterday, too. Incisions and gas are painful but walking feels pretty good, although I am a little slow. I have been sipping lots of Water and got 2 Protein shakes in so far. I also had some clear chicken broth. I feel very hungry, lol!

I never vomited but I had really bad nausea. I'm on Clear liquids and I had some shake and it's going ok. My first day I wasn't allowed to have anything because of my hernia repair. Of course now I'm hungry but it passes as soon as I have some tea or shake. Good luck to everyone who was banded recently.

My doc told me to drink 64 oz. So that's what I'm trying to do.

I feel so bloated. I have gas pretty bad, I keep burping and it hurts, but it makes room for me to drink more Water. :-/

Also, I think my vomiting yesterday was from the anesthesia. The nursing staff told me it was fairly normal to be nauseated and/ or vomit after surgery.

I am so afraid to throw up because I am afraid it will slip. I thought yesterday during my swallow test I would throw up but I didn't.

I got in 2 8 oz. Protein drinks, a can of chicken broth, some Jello and lots of Water. I wish I could pass some of this gas. It really hurts. My incisions are still sore. I walked 3 different times today. I know I walked more than a mile altogether but it hasn't helped with the gas yet. It does feel pretty good to stand up though.

You may not eat or drink anything after midnight on the night prior to surgery ... Ans: The procedure takes an average of one hour to perform but may vary ... On the second day, you will be consuming approximately 30 mls of Water every hour.

30mls= 1oz if anyone is interested

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
