So far you are exactly right describing my experience. Does the wad hunger ever go away? Today I wished I could eat a lot. ???? Im mourning the loss of my stomach. How sad.

Hey cynic figure! Finally got sleeved! Now just to get enough fluids down to keep from being dehydrated! Lol! I hate the feeling of being so weak and tired too but I keep yelling myself its only been 3 days. I tried beef broth last night and discovered that I will never eat it again as the smell alone was a huge turn off for my stomach. However I have not been hungry even though I've been around people who were cooking some yummy smelling things! Lol

I had mine on the 21st. it's been a lot harder than i anticipated. I have 6 incisions with the largest on my left side. that is where the worst pain is. a burning stabbing pain when I get up and down etc. but it has improved. I wonder if it hurts most because its the bigger cut where they took out my stomach or is it the area where they actually cut your stomach inside that causes the pain. I'm not able to keep down the Protein Drinks at all, even when I take the nausea meds.

I'm a week out today, crystal light was too sweet for me, but i was able to get fluids down with G2. the only crystal light i could do was the lemon tea. walk as much as you can it helps with the gas pain. i feel almost back to 100% at a week. i am able to lay down to sleep but i had to spend the first few days upright on the sofa. It gets better everyday. just keep on sippin.

      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.
