Still kind of sore but OMG I feel sooooo much better. I'm able to kick the pain meds and use liquid Tylenol. I'm not gonna lie I'm ready for Mushies cuz I am starving!!!! I'm not cheating though.

That gives me hope' date=' I'm just fresh off the slice & dice table today .... Hoping this gets easier (I know it will). Cheers to us & our fresh bands!!![/quote'] give it a few days!!! The worst part for me now is sleeping cuz I'm a stomach sleeper and it's still too tender to do that.

I was banded 3 days ago and I am starving today. The liquids are not satisfying me. I want some taco salad or mashed potatoes or something. This is a battle today.

I've been hungry the entire time! Only time I'm ok is if I drink some Isopure, but it comes back shortly after.

don't lose this battle. you are three days out and it would not be good for you to each food unless your doctor allows it. hang in there...go out, do something to get your mind off food. this is no not the time to make a bad decision. good luck and stay strong!

Sorry you're having a hard day. Vegetable broth helps keep me satisfied, but I know everyone's different. Hang in there! You can do 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.

      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.
