19 Days Post Op Update



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I am 19 days post op and thought I would post a update.. I had my first Nutritionist and Surgeon appointments this week ..Nutritionist went well I have started stage 4 and have tolerated foods pretty well since starting it. Im more then happy to cut down on shakes, Im sooooo tired of them.

My meeting with the surgeon was great Im down 25lbs since my meeting with him before the surgery so Im happy about that but I dont feel much different weight wise... My tummy feels the same but my upper mid section feels thinner.. I am still having horrible stomach muscle pain to the right of the belly button its just awful! I sneezed last night and I immediately had tears, and I have a decent tolerance to pain. The dr said it will take a while to heal and that some patients get this and some dont and they dont really know why that is.. And the bottom line is if it hurts dont do it. which is alot I cant bed over to get something off the floor , or lay in bed I have to sleep in the recliner.. He said do not lift anything over a gallon of milk and continue to take it easy.. It could be a another 4 weeks..:unsure: It totally feels like that muscle is tearing inside its so bad, but they said thats the biggest insison and it will be a while they have to cut through everything to get through and its stretched and moved and theres stitching under there... So patience it is.. And Tylenol lol He felt everything and there doesnt appear to be hernia so I'm super thankful so will just take it easy and let it heal. Other then that I feel good, Im looking forward to the weather getting better so I can at least walk around outside!

Wow! terrific weight loss -- you must be thrilled :) Yes, he's right -- everyone's ability to recover is different -- some have no pain, and others, like you and me, have/had pain -- go figure. But it's soooo worth it in the end. Glad you're doing well otherwise :)

      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.
