Take it slowly, you just had major surgery! Drink enough to stave off the dizziness. Try Gatorade, or some other kind of Protein mix, Special K has one to mix with Water. Try having a popcicle, too! for gas, walking is good, also Gas-x tabs that melt on your tongue are helpful.

normal when you are just 2 days post op.. sip liquids, get lots of rest, pain can be handled with liquid tylenol or pain meds as prescribed by Dr. you are probably dehydrated which makes you feel hungry.. try getting more fluids..Contact your Dr. if symptoms persist...

Banded 7-24... I am amazed how much better I feel 9 days post op. Here is what I learned... Sip sip sip even when you don't want too. Your body needs the fluids! Get in your protein.. Because it will give you the energy you're not getting from food. At first I had to use the tasteless powder to put in my Water and crystal light... Now I am getting Protein Shakes in! Walk even if it hurts! It gets the gas moving and also just generally makes you feel better! I was shocked at how well I adjusted to the hunger! I started working on things for my classroom and I learned to manage the hunger! If I can survive this liquid diet .... I can make better good choices when I can eat! Best of all...,. I learned to keep posting on here and reach out when you need help! These people are amazing and know your struggle! We will hold your hand when things get rough! God bless!

walk...walk...walk! Drink your water...plenty of it! At three days post op was making sure I got my 60 grams of Protein in! I know it sounds funny.....but I felt better when I walked. Make sure you take Tylenol between the other meds. I stopped the pain meds at day 3 with the exception of tylenol. Walking and water! You are turning the corner....Have a great day. Lisa

I was also banded July 31. Trying to balance rest with walking, breathing exercises and just moving around. Could barely eat until thus morning but feeling better all the time.

The first 48 hours were very rough, was convinced I had made a BIG mistake. But as I improve I am starting to look forward to a lighter, healthier future.

Was banded July 31st to gas pain in belly, eatting sugar free popcisles and drinking chicken broth and Water. Walking around helps gas x strips helps rest when you can that's what I do. When I get up feels like my belly is gonna drop off lol but over all I'm getting better!

I used a cane for the first 3 days post op for fear of falling. Walked when I could for short distances and just worked up a little more each day. Make sure you are getting the right amount of Protein and it will changes. Best of luck on your journey.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
