Hi everyone! I hope it's ok I join in here. I had my surgery 11/13. I'm doing decent getting my fluids in and I'm starting to feel like a real human again. I had one of the not fun early recoveries and I was nauseous from immediately after surgery until day 3. I woke up in terrible pain in recovery. But that has subsided. I did start my TOM yesterday and I have had diarrhea for the last 2 days.

Ok, since we're talking poop - used a microlax yesterday (charming), which worked immediately. This morning had a bm as normal. Great start to the day :) I was afraid of leaving it too long

I don't know why I was so excited for number 2...because now I have diarrea. Bleh.

Aside from that doing really well. Finally able to stand straighter today and not look like the hunch back. My back had been killing me since this pulled muscle when I got home and I've been hunched between that and the pulling in my dent/middle incision. The incision still hurts and pulls but I'm able to straighten out and actually walk around a bit. Felt well enough to cook some home made Soup today. Every day is getting easier yay!

I'm having a hard time with the Water and my protein too. The thought of Protein Shakes makes me ill since I woke up the other day totally hating everything that was sweet. So it's a challenge. I only had about half of what I should have yesterday. Today if I follow my plan of foods I should have almost 60 which is a huge improvement. Water not so great still. Only gotten about half in today so far.

I had my first follow up appointment today and the doctor is not happy with my Fluid intake. I'm hustling today trying to get more in. I'm totally sick of Jello, Protein Shakes, broth and crystal light but hopefully I can get everything in today.

I actually bought some unflavored protein that I'm sprinkling on everything! I add it to the broths, creamed Soups and plain yogurt. I've actually created my own little "parfaits" using plain Greek yogurt and crystal light...they are super yummy! And packs protein!

Yes, I am going to get some unflavoured Protein too. It surely has to be easier to add a bit to everything rather than trying to choke down shakes.

I am also only managing 32oz of Water. I don't think that's too bad only being less than a week out. I hope by the end of week 2 that I can get the required 64oz.

I had surgery on the 14th, went home the 16th. No nausea, but they always made sure I had anti-nausea meds. Sore! Like someone else said, feel like I've dove a million situps! And still haven't pooped. BUT . . I am diabetic, was on a combination oral med and a small bit of nightly insulin before surgery. HAVE NOT NEEDED ANY DIABETES MEDS SINCE MY LAST DAY IN THE HOSPITAL! Completely normal blood sugars ever since, I am so happy!!!!!

      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.

      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.
