I was so amazed at how quickly I recovered. Now that am all done with the post op diet, learning to eat after being sleeved is not quite as easy.

Day 2...I feel pretty miserable today! Everything hurts like I was run over and I have thrown up 3 times, which sucks!!! Ladies try to avoid doing this! I am almost off my IV though and just starting to drink Water and tea, so I think things will be looking up from here out. The gas pain so far has not been horried, but I keep a heating pad on me at all times! Breathing is a bit easier...make sure you walk and use your breather...it hurts but most definently helps!

The incision sites hardly bother me, only the one for the bag. I am very excited to be able to move foward with liquids, though my tummy may not be! Thanks to anyone who called the room here or asked about me, I was told they were getting them and had to ask my permission, which I gave.

Take care all!

Hey girl - was probably a good thing that the pretesting for Ruthi and I took so long and we weren't able to look you up ... sounds like you wouldn't have been up to company ... so you will have to look us up tomorrow after we're out of recovery. My surgery is first, as Ruthi's will take at least twice as long .... so come find me when you can. Sorry you're feeling so bad today ... hopefully the worst has passed!

So I had the yummy one..it was not nearly as bad as I had been led to believe, but it was far from good!!! All was good with the test though! I saw Vegas angel before her surgery, but missed Ruthi. V.Angel is in recovery right now and doing well! They took my patch out so all is good except the cramping that I get when ever I try to drink anything. They tell me it is from the gas and should stop soon, I really hope so! I walk alot and do the breathing thing, but it does not seem to improve. I think my body is mad at me right now...lol. Anyways, talk to you all soon!

Oh btw...for anyone considering, I have NEVER been treated better at a hospital or been to one more clean, every one here is sooooo wonderful! Lucy and Sergio are there for me when ever I need them and Dr. Aceves comes around 3 times a day to tease me, aside from being sore (duh) this has been a wonderful experience, if you need to do it! :thumbup:

I only had pain meds in my IV the first day. The other time they gave me something under my toungue for a headache. I think it was Toradol .

That leak test stuff does taste horrid but it's over with quickly. Everyone remember to brush your teeth as soon as you're done and you won't even remember how badly it tasted, just that it wasn't much fun.

I actually am still on pain meds...I have a very low pain tolerance! I can't wait to get home and get some good pain meds! I left the hospital this morning, everyone was wonderful to me. Ruthi and VegasAngel were doing so awesome, I could not believe it! They rolled Ruthi into her room and not 5 minutes later she was walking into Vegas room where we were talking! I am still in alot of pain and can berely tolerate a few sips of Soup, everyone including Renee assure me this is normal for about 1/2 of the people and give me another day or two until I feel much better so cross your fingers for me!

I just got to the airport where my flight was suppose to leave at 5 pm...I sooo was not going for that with how I am feeling so my sister and I both just got upgraded to first class on a flight 4 hours earlier! (I think my sister is kinda glad I am still hurting because of the upgrade lol)

Susan, Ruthi and I took this picture last night, we called ourselves the sleeve girls to everyone. Thanks for all the good wishes! I am thinking of you Susan and Ruthi!!!C:%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CMe%5CDesktop%5Cpics%5Csurgery021.jpg

      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
