Just got on the scale. 215. Down fro 222 on surgery day 10/3. Waiting on a stall. Luckily, I expect it, thanks to the info I get on this board.

I was 313 morning of, 316 day I got home and 297 today. I was sleeved 10/2. I've always been a fast dropper at when starting diets and since I'm on liquids only I guess it makes sense.

I'd not worry about it, it will come off. Your body may be in shock still.

So honestly, how bad ( or not) was the surgery? Im so scared that I actually cancelled my date of 9/11. Still thinking about doing it if I can get past the fear.

I promise you I was terrified. Had a c section and my right ovary removed and tjis surgery was nothing like those. It was not nearly as invasive. I did feel terrible day one and pucked all day. I get very sick from meds. I asked to be taken off pain Med day 2. Not one single bit of pain since and no complications.... A Lil gas, 2 weeks out feeling tired but that's it. I'm on full liquids till 4 weeks: /.... I am almost able to get it all in. I have no regrets, but am ready to eat normally again. Good luck!

Wasn't bad for me. 1st day (operatiom day) sleepy, second day uncomfortable and achey tired. Third day improved, drinking 4-6 ounces no problem. Day 5 cleaned my kitchen, swept and mopped. Day 6, cleamed some more, made my bed, going to he depot later. A little tired. No pain. Everyone is different, this is my experience.

Thanks for the reply. I've had 3 c-sections and my gallbladder removed. I'm just sooooo terrified of ready many bad stories on this blog. This blog is Great, but I wish I would not have subscribed to it until after the surgery. I'm terrified of complications.

I had no pain or gas. My gall bladder surgery was much worse. I was also scared and thought of cancelling but decided it was something I had to do. I won't lie, the food part is by far the hardest on me. I'm still in only liquids and Protein shakes. So ready for something different. There are days I'm extremely weak and tired but it's part of the process.

I'm also an emotional wreck. Can't eat, tired and did I mention can't eat lol. But I remind myself in the end it will be worth it. I was sleeved 10/2 and down 18 lbs. It's amazing

I stopped going on websites before surgery for this very reason. Most people do not blog their great experiences. Just ask questions, so I totally understand where your coming from. Pray about it and you will know: )

I've had open gallbladder surgery, back surgery, 2 c-sections and foot surgery and this by far was the easiest! Surgery was on Wednesday (10/3) and I went back to work today and had absolutely no issues and didn't even tire. Just sipped my liquids all day and even went into the kitchen at lunch time and had my beef broth (or a few spoonfuls) and did feel uncomfortable at all! I know everyone is different but seeing how easy this has been for me I wouldn't think twice about recommending it to people.

I lost 10 pounds in my three day hospital stay.. Then gained a pound after a week, freaked out over it and then it took 5 days for me to continue losing weight. Down 25 pounds since September 5th, but seriously, going up a point freaked me out!

I left the first surgery 18lbs heavier than i came in. I then gained a total of 40lbs over the next 44 days due to further surgery's. But today I'm down 25 from the original weight...though my belly looks like those starving kid adds. Doc said I may lose as much as 20 lbs in the next week or two from post (I had three more surgical procedures) surgery's.

So how much have I lost LOL I find it quite confusing. I didn't even put the 40 overage in my tracker because I knew it was all IV Fluid and swelling.

HE did say that the trick to letting go of the surgery weight is to get your Water in and WALK! Moving helps a lot.

      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.
