Finally on the other side!!!!!!. Had my sleeve tuesday morning. Surgery went smoothly....I stayed overnight and after passing the test (nasty liquid) was able to have liquids and some mooshy food for lunch, which was basically 1 tablespoon of mashed chicken and was cleared to leave at 5 pm

.Making sure to take my pain meds every 4-6 hours and gas relief when needed. I had 1 scrambled egg for Breakfast ate it very slowly, lost 7 lbs from Monday looking forward to a new me!!!!!!

Wow, you are allowed to have mushy foods already? You are lucky! I am 14 days out & still not on mushies. My Dr says 22 days I can start. Pure torture!

Glad everything went so smooth though!

Its interesting how each dr or group has their own policy with food. I sure am glad that they start with mush I could hardly take the clear liquids pre-op diet. They want us to have between 45 and 60 grams of Protein a day. I definitly didnt have that much the first day but I'm working my way up slowly.

Ihad my sleeve on Monday morning as well had the swallow test on tuesday morning and was cleared for full liquid. I have done fine, not too much pain and I haven't had any truble with eating the soft foods. Not sure if I've lost anything, my stomach is really swollen.

      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.
