Ok question for you fellow March sleevers.....

I have been having more pain that usual from my largest incision

that they removed my stomach from!! It is almost a stabbing pain at times.

I may have just pulled something and it is really tender but I have no

idea. anyone else experienced this?

I had ask my nurse because I was having some pain also in the same spot but mine was my incision was irritated from my pants and hurt she told me if I was to start having any stabbing pain or hurting when you pushed down on the area to call my surgeon that it could be a hernier so you should call your surgeon and let them know your having that pain

I should be all caught up with the invites to the group at this point. Let me know if I missed you. Also, anyone who is already a member can invite other people, so you could help me out so I don't have to do it all. There is a link at the top of the group page that says 'Invite by email'. Thanks

Hello Everyone! I officially started down my new road to health on March 25, 2013- NJ Bariatric Center -Dr. Angela Glassnap (formerly Dr. Jack) was my surgeon. So far luckily everything seems to be going as well as expected, especially for the changes made to my body. I think the hardest part for me during the day of and day after surgery was missing my (3) best friends (dogs) while in the hospital…lol!

My 1st week post-op follow-up doctor appointment put me down 15lbs, I love it. I’m currently on what my doctor calls Stage 2 – Soft Foods. I am having a little bit of a hard time with that because I don’t like any type of fish (gag reflex kicks in) other than shellfish (not sure if I can have shellfish) and fish is one of the main Proteins listed. I have had egg whites in the morning with a pinch of cheese (couldn’t hack them without) also tried refried Beans on 4 crackers yesterday and they seemed to go down ok. I make sure slowly throughout the day that I have (2) Premier shakes so I at least get a minimum of 60g of Protein (not including the few proteins from the 1/4c eggs) daily still. It also makes things easier since I went back to work on week 2, so far so good. I do have to say my biggest problem is slowing down and not drinking during eating. I’m working on that though, somebody posted an App “Eat Slow” and I’m going to try it this evening.

Thanks for letting me tell a little bit of my experience…I wish everyone that has had March Surgeries the best of luck.

I do have a question if anyone could help…Can I have Egg Drop or Hot N Sour Soup form a Chinese restaurant at this stage? I have seen a few debates back and forth and I was wonder what others thoughts are.

      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.
