The two days after surgery are rough. I dealt with nausea and pain. I threw up twice the day after. Walking around after a few minutes made me fell sick. Yet, every day gets better. I had the surgery on a Monday and went home on Wed. My recovery is actually going well now. I was off of the pain meds by Friday.

I am still on a clear liquid diet :-( I get in a minimum of 40 oz. or liquid in a day. I take a Multi-Vitamin (centrum chewable), Biotin, and allergy meds, for now. I have no trouble swollowing the pills. I am still working on getting my Liquid Protein in. I am not a big fan of the shakes. I will be starting the puree phase next week. I rarely feel hungry but I miss chewing food!!

Surprisingly, I don't feel fatigued. I started work yesterday and I feel good.

Right now, my pain is rare and minimal.

I've lost 14 lbs since the day of surgery.

Advise: Take one day at a time. Each day gets better. Follow your doctor's diet to a T. Weight yourself every morning. Sip, sip, and sip some more. Walk, walk and walk some more.

hello, I said the same thing - as for me doing good lost 30 since the surgery of 9/2/11, I have some good days and some not so good ones, they said you are not supposed to be able to feel hungry pains and I said bc. no one knows i had this done, and people are starting to notice and it pissed me off at work on saturday night l most lost my cool. had to make a few phones calls to bring it under control, I just never thought about the process of what others will see or think - because it is my life, and it not there business.

other than that I hope the weight comes off slowly getting in the habit of exercising now I will give this my all......

      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
