9 Days Post Surgery



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve performed on Oct 30 and had to stay in the hospital for two days. I went In weighing 175 and according to my new scale I am at 163. I am still basically on fluids but I've been feeling hungry for a couple of days. I'm not on Proteins yet my Dr starts that at 2 weeks is this normal?

Hi, I'm new here but am 6 days out and thought I'd reply. I am on full liquids with Protein supplement and was told by my physician to start it on day 3. I know everyone is different though. Were you told why not start it? I think that the protein is helping me a lot.

The doctor has stages that you are suppose to follow, for the first two weeks you are only suppose to be on fluids. Then weeks 2-4 is when we start on small amounts of Protein

      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.
