Sleeved On Tuesday 1/10/12

Thank you Vance, hearing from someone just two weeks out keeps me encouraged. I have not had a lot of pain and as long as I sip small and slow I can keep down the clear liquid diet so far. I was wondering why I feel a little tender in my lower abdomen but only when I get up or down from sitting or laying and when I walk around it seems to stretch out and be better. Did you experience anything like that early on and did it go away? I am waiting for a call back from the nurse in the surgeons office to ask her about it. It hurts just a little but not bad.

Thanks for writing and I am glad to have someone to share the day with also.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well now. Congratulations to you and good luck.

For the ticker go to tickerfactory.com and design your ruler and marker after you are done you can cut and past the URL info into your signature in this site and it will show. You will have to keep updating the tickerfactory.com web site with you loss info for it to change.

I have been very fortunate to not have had any nausea so far. I took a pill before my surgery that the md had prescribed to keep the nausea at bay following surgery and I have a script for Zophran that I take before taking the liquid pain med so it doesn't make me sick.

I'm actually sipping on my first Protein shake today and it's going down well. I can definitely tell if I sip too much lol doesn't hurt, just uncomfortable.

Thank you Patti! I'll get a ticker set up later. Good luck to you as well....I think we're gonna be just fine :D

Yes, I felt that tenderness in my lower abdomen, but as you said, only when I got up or sat down. I think everyone has that. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about, but it is good that you called. Always better to be safe than sorry. Good luck on your new journey! I'm sure we will continue to cross paths as we go through this together! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
