Hello everyone! Had surgery on the 29th everything went well. Due to hurricane sandy the hospital and surrounding areas lost power so I had to stay an extra night. It's only been a couple of days but everyday it gets better. The gas pains are no JOKE! I've also been struggling to get all my liquids in. I will keep you all updated :)

I am 3 days post op too. They released me from hospital but offered for me to stat another night. Hospital staff so short handed I wanted to go home so I would gave more personal care.

I'm feeling good... def gassy and sore. Trying to get all my fluids and Protein in, you? Also they didn't give me a leak test after surgery because machine was not working or expected to be working in near future -- that really concerned me but my surgeon said I was ok.

I have no appetite as well and the smell of food makes me sick lol. I was also unable to do the leak text because of the power being out. Make sure you both keep me updated and good luck!

I'm using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder added to broth etc. yuck :-) I wish I could sip on a Protein shake but no until next week.

GAS X STRIPS were my best friend the first two weeks after surgery. Happy to hear that you are doing well! Don't be too hard on yourself regarding getting all your liquids down- it's tough,I remember taking a sip and having to wait at least 10 minutes before I could take a sip again. Now I am 2 months out and can take two gulps down at a time. So it will get easier.

      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.
