2 days post op and sad



Recommended Posts

I am so sore, it's hard to imagine this all being worth it. I know it will be, but I can't sleep, eat, burp. I'm just miserable. I know it gets better, I just needed to rant.

Hang in there the worst is almost over. And yes, not being able to burp was a bummer. You will be so glad you did this!

Hello lovely Annie I say lovely because I feel ur pain that was me last week I even told my dr I was failing to see the upside,

The pain came as such a shock to me because everywhere I read said that is was more uncomfortable than pain and hell for me that was wrong.

I can say it does get better, I am 13 days post today and whilst I'm not 100 percent I am feeling a hell of a lot better. I do know u see this everywhere but I started doing 2km walks everyday and it helped me strengthen my muscles again and get used to breathing heavy with all the soreness in my gut. I hope this helps ur not alone!!

It gets lot's better. Hang in there. When you start and see your weight loss, the clothes sagging on you, can sit in booths in places you couldn't sit before, you'll love the new you. When the doctor starts removing certain medications because of your loss of weight and your back, legs and feet don't bother you anymore, you will know why you went through all of this. YOU already know diets alone don't work very well form past experiences.

Keep on track! YOU can do it!

Best wishes

Nothing worth having is easy.

Couple of lousy days will lead to a lifetime of healthy and happy.

You can do it! You are stronger than you think you are.

Rent a great movie, read a book you can't put down, and thing to distract your mind. Keep posting!

i got banded jan 7th so i still remember what that feels like pretty dang well.. yeah my parents started clapping whenever i did my little baby burps cuz it was such an accomplishment :) but i agree with what some other people said, i would walk around alot when the pressure was bad and it helped so much. even though i dont know from experience yet cuz i havnt had my first fill yet i know that it will all be worth it!

hang in there, you will feel so much better just within the week!

good luck!

I totally feel your pain Annie. I was banded Wednesday and was miserable until just a day or two ago. I was in tears because the pain was so bad and I was questioning my choice.

It does get better. Make sure to drink, walk and breathe.

I'm starting to feel way better. I slept for almost 10 hours last night. Woke up feeling very little pain. I ate, I feel good. And I get to finally shower today.

        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
