I was sleeve on 12/17 and the first three days were the hardest. Gas pain do go away with time. I can now get my 64 oz of Water and today I can start stage 2 purée food. So, be patient, have the right attitude, sleep a lot, sip,sip,sip liquids and in couple more days you will be feeling much better. Merry Christmas and be bless that you got your best gift ever a new start in life.

Congrats and Merry Christmas,

I am 7 days post op. This is also the very first time that I am reaching out to a support group. Today is actually going to be very hard for me. Last night my pain meds ran out and I feel incision site. I suppose as I type this, I realize the pain is not excrutiating but rather discomfortable and annoying, Mainly, because I have to concertrate on sipping, breathing, and walking. I also have very bad dry cough. Both of these combined makes resting very difficult. Other than those two things, everything is healing beautifully.

Is there a drug store open near you on xmas? Children's liquid tylenol might provide some relief until you can visit your doctor

      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
