So far so good the pain is still there now what I'm dealing with is that I'm so tired and have bad traped gas pains :( all I just want to do is sleep but I do get up and walk and drink and take pain meds my question is how is everyone's first few days going?

I was sleeved the 21st. Every day is better, but I think the real turning point was the 6th day out. I just woke up feeling much better. I've really focused on drinking 64 oz daily and i think thats made a huge difference in how i feel. Getting dehydrated causes nausea and a bunch of other issues.

Yesterday I was allowed full liquids so I've been concentrating on getting 60 grams of Protein so my energy level can come back. I'm a bit worried because I haven't lost any wieght since I was sleeved. But I lost 30 pounds in 3 months pre-op, so I'm pretty sure my body is just trying to figure out what happened.

Take things slowly, don't push and overdo things. Right now staying hydrated and healing are your two most important jobs.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and had the worst gas pains... They will get better around Day 5. I couldn't sleep at the hospital for two days but when I got home I slept in a recliner for a few days... Take your pain meds for the gas and walk, walk, walk....

      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
