Finally Home After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I will be totally honest, having this surgery is very big, this is something u really need to think about. I will admit the very next day I was feeling regret, but each day I'm feeling better. I had my surgery Monday & today I'm having some heartburn & diarrhea, that's nothing compared to the other days.

I'm not hungry, I only eat because I have to, to get energy. I can't wait to get over this hurdle.

I had my surgery on June 5th. Just got home last night. Not really hungry either. Was shocked to see I had gained 11 lbs. Trying to figure out how that was possible.

Hang in there, it gets better! I was sleeved on May 25 th and exactly a week after surgery I returned to work. I was off pain meds three days after getting home. Other than some soreness and the heartburn I feel completely normal...actually better than I did before.

Your weight gain is from the IV fluids. Don't worry, it will go away soon! :)

I gets better soon.. I promise. Just keep on getting the fluids in and walk as much as you can. You will feel better in no time. By next week you will feel like a new person.

The IV fluids is the reason for the gain. Walk as much as you can and sip your liquids! By next week things will be better

My friend gained 10 lbs too. He said it was because of the liquids pumped into you. I lost 1 lb when I got home from hospital. We are all different. And that 11 lbs you will prob pee out :) hopefully.

        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
