I'm nov 12th too! I'm having a hard time trying to avoid the "last meal" syndrome. Do you have to do a pre op diet?

Hey folks...I'm sleeved! Everything went well yesterday. Very little pain and no nausea, just really sleepy. I'm going for my barium swallow test soon. I hope it goes well so I can finally drink something. So far my recovery has been remarkably smooth. I hope it is/was for everyone here!

Hey KansasFan - I am on Protein drinks for two weeks. All clear liquids would be very hard.

For those of you who had surgery this week - how did it go?

Hi Everyone! Yesterday was a little rough for me, trying to get liquids in and all. Paranoid about dyhyrdration. Doing much better today got a lot more liquids down and I can even lay on my stomach for short periods of time (with only a little discomfort). Oh and I don't need the pain meds.

Gabby,

Sounds like you're doing really well considering the huge surgery you just had a couple of days ago! I hope I'm off pain meds 4 days after! But I'm sure you still feel a little rough. Good luck for continued comfort and success! Can't wait to hear more as time goes on!

How is everyone. I am starving! That's my only complaint. Can't wait to start some normal foods Thursday. I hope this is just head hunger.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
