Hi there luvs! I was revised from band to sleeve dec 10th at memorial Herman hospital in the Texas medical center. Hurt bad still, can't stand up straight from the pain on the right side. Have hard time with liquids, only because my band sutures had broken so band was in wrong spot cause dilation of my lower esophagus.

I get to start phase 2 tomorrow

I'm feeling pretty darn good. Pain is much less. I only woke once or twice last night, and that's really only because I hate sleeping on my back. I "went back" to work today, but worked from home. Honestly, I could have been at the office. I feel fine - just some soreness when I turn the wrong way or move too quickly.

My doc is very conservative and wants me on Clear Liquids only until 1 week post-op. So for now it's little 1oz medicine cups at a time of juice, Isopure juice, broth, or Jello. Next week I can move to non-clear liquids and pureed foods.

I'm not doing as good as I could be with my fluids and Protein, but I'm trying. It's not due to pain, but rather remembering to do it every 10 minutes like I'm supposed to.

I was also sleeved Monday and I am still in quite a bit of pain, how much Fluid are they recommending for you guys? I am on strict Clear Liquids until at least the 18th. I had 32 ounces of isopure/water yesterday and walked a lot I think I may have over done it.

Feel little nausea today but may be because I finally went out the house. Went and got my toes and nails done, it had been over a month and they looked rough.

Made my family my famous super delicious Soup this evening. Took part of it and put it in the blender so it's like a cream soup. Omg it was the best thing I've had since surgery!!! I'm so freakish happy and content. Stomach feels funny, first time I've had a full serving of anything I'm allowed. Kinda creepy feeling lol

I'm only allowed clear liquids and Protein Shakes the first week, next week I get full liquids, the following week puréed, then soft foods for 2-4 weeks.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
