I was sleeved on Monday. No nausea or vomiting...thank goodness. The girl I shared a room with was sure sick tho! BLAH!

I was able to do my ice chips and keep them down right away. The only problem I had was the GAS it has been horrible. I am now 4 days out and still hurt. Not as bad, but man, it is awful!!

Yesterday was my first day taking my Vitamins and it made a HUGE difference in my energy. I was able to drink a lot more and even felt like eating. I had 3 cups of broth and a whole fun size cup of Jello (not at once, of course!!) Also had about 20 oz of Isopure and 20 oz of decafinated tea. I felt so much better than the previous days. I also walked about .5 miles.

Today, I moved to full liquids and have already had about 20 oz of decafinated tea and 1/2 c. vanilla yogurt. I have had my vitamins and have walked around a lot. I feel like I could eat a lot more, but will not. I hear that you don't feel so much restriction on liquids, hoping I will more on mushies.

Going to try and go back to work Monday, but may wait till Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Kelly :D

Oh, I forgot to add! I gained 12 lbs from the surgery. YAY. Since Monday, I have lost 14, so I guess, I have lost 2lbs from my original pre-op weight. That makes me happy!

I also started my period again, which made me mad, since I just had one before I went in for the surgery!

Still, NO REGRETS!!

Kelly, did you take your vitamins in pill form and was it easy to get them down? Where they chewable, Gummy or did you have to crush them? Just curious how we will be able to take our vitamins right after surgery.

Thanks everyone! I feel better everyday! Today, my obliques are really sore, like I have done 1,000's of crunches or something. :rolleyes:

Kemo46, I have been taking my Vitamins since wednesday, sleeved on monday! All are chewable. Dr. said they should be chewable for at least 6 months. Because Vitamins are HUGE!! I take multi, Iron, Calcium sublingual b-12. I also take d-3 gummie and Vitamin c for good measure. i hate them, but i take them!

Good luck to you all!!

Kelly :D

The weight gain after surgery is usually just from your IV fluids. This will correct itself.smile.gif

Thanks everyone!

I am really PALE and am sure it is just from the surgery. I am eating more today (protein shakes that is)!! I weighed today and have lost the 10lbs I gained plus 1.8 real lbs. YAY!!

If I could just get this gas to leave, I would feel so much better. It is the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not nearly as bad as it was, but man, it is not fun!

My incisions look good and the swelling and bruising is looking much better. I walked another mile last night (slow), but got er' done! Haven't napped today at all!

Glad my other Red Velveter's are doing well too! I just made a Meal Replacement shake from Bariatric Advantage gonna choke that down for my lunch!

Hugs!

Kelly :D

      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.
