I was sleeved around 12:30 today and so far I am feeling good. Haven't used much pain medication. Only drawback is I can't sleep. Its 1:04 am and I'm wide awake!

That is awesome news, congratulations :-)

You are not alone. I am in the process of putting together a list of my creditors' date=' account numbers, phone numbers...hr dept information... On top of the letter to family and friends.

I believe I am coming home, but things happen, every day. I love them enough to try and make that time easier for them.[/quote']

I was literally just thinking about doing this right before I came on here, it really does feel like an important thing right? Loving all the info from everyone :-D

Sleep position! I have been having so much trouble sleeping because I'm not a back sleeper. Also' date=' when I lay flat it hurts my stomach. I only feel comfortable if I can sit up slightly. Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote']

I didnt sleep for about 3 nights bc I couldnt get comfortable. I'm a slide sleeper too. I was always sitting in an upright position too. Then I got creative with the pillows & slept kinda on my side...i still wake up almost daily with lower back pain... even after buying an expensive new mattress that is supposed to stop my back pain! Grrrr....good luck!

Thanks everyone for posting your updates! I'm 8 days post-op and feeling fine except for a nasty yeast infection thanks to the antibiotics. Incisions are healing very nicely but still a bit of a pulling sensation when I move the wrong way.

As for weight loss..... drum-roll please.... ZERO POUNDS!!! I'm not worried about it. I'm just happy to finally be back down to my surgery weight! And I am not expecting huge losses anyway since I was 3 and 1/2 months on an 800 calorie diet prior to surgery.

Next week will be SO much better. eggs and chicken and fish....mmm. some days im getting in about 40, some days 30, and some days 50. 50 is what I shoot for but some days I just can't take it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
