Recommended Posts

I'm home everyone! Came home on the 10th, Surgery was a success, and all week i have been tired. I just am trying to focus on getting my Water in. I've been sleeping so much and it's so hard to get the water in, but I've been up today, drinking my water and doing a lot of walking, so it's helping.

Just checking in-how is everyone doing? I have surprisingly little pain, just some twinges here and there but have no energy. I am getting in my fluids and Protein. I need to stop weighing myself because I haven't lost a pound this week-I lost 9 between Tuesday and Sunday then nothing.

I'm still having struggle getting Protein in, but other than that little discomfort sometimes but nothing I can't handle, I still get spasms in my stomach when I eat which hurt bad! And with the weight, I know how u feel, I lost 8lbs since surgery which was in the last 4-5 days of surgery and then nothing, it's annoying and stressful!!! But my dr said its normal right now! So I'm trying to stay away from scale. He said just worry about nutrition. But hopefully I lose more soon!

I am also struggling to get my fluids in. I have felt great and almost back to normal. I also had a possible incision infection but my surgeon cleaned it out yesterday and it seems much better now. As far as the scale, I'm down 9 lbs since the morning of surgery. Today it hurt a bit when I drank anything so I hope it feels better tomorrow. We have to stay strong and get through these few challenging days so we can reap the rewards of this surgery. We can do it!

Ok dropped 2more pounds and learned my lesson-I only need to weigh once a week. It is weird but my stomach feels different this morning-almost tighter.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
