HI everyone !! I got home Wed. evening, and I'm doing great. NO problems what so ever. Just taken it easy, drinking, walking, and sipping. I feel much better that I thought I would at this point. No nausea, not much pain. SO far everything is great! I'm glad to be home.:(

Welcome back Judy! I'm glad you're doing so well.

DeeDee you are doing so well gurl...I'm very happy for you. Your such a pretty girl to start with, you just get prettier as you go.

I have a question for everyone. Did you eat pudding the first week. I've been on Clear liquids, straight from the Dr. But the put some pudding in my box also. I ate some and it's been fine, no problems at all. Do you think I'm pushing it eating pudding 2 days out?

Thanks

Judy:blushing:

So thankful that everything went well for you Judy!

I was put on full liquids when I got home from the hospital and able to eat sugar free pudding. It may not hurt, but you should try and follow your Dr's orders.

Hugs,

JoAnne

I was also on full liquids when I returned home, so yogurt and pudding would have been okay for me at that time.

Thank you for the kind words Judy!

I was put on a clear diet for 3 weeks. I'm starting to wonder If I can drop that back to 2weeks? I'm noticing that a lot of people on here were on full liquids by the 2nd week if not the 1st week.

My diet was 1 week clear Fluid & 2 weeks full Fluid then 1 week soft food

based on what I've been reading, I'm really leaning toward going to full liquid next week. So far I haven't had any pain, and am planning going back to work on week 3. I really doubt that a clear liquid diet would suffice me going back to work now.

thats what I would do .....knowing what others did. I never had any problems.....then when you do the full liquids you can drink the protien shakes as well and have decent lump free Soups

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
