Hoosiergirl and 4my2boys - its great to hear you both are doing well. Keep us updated! When do you think you'll go home? Do you feel any hunger?

I leave for home tomorrow. THey removed my drain today, so technially, I could have left today. Something about one extra day of rest seemd right to me!

NO HUNGER at all. A bit of upset stomach now and then due to acid production, but I have meds to help with that. Everyone from the surgery center was calling me "super woman" because I bounced back so quickly.

What is the invite thing about? Sorry new to group and a bit confused.

Also I'm on the pre op diet and I'm tired all the time. I've been going to bed early, feel good in the morning but get tired as the day goes on. Is it because of not having many calories? Just getting nervous. Surgery is Monday.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on February 4, also. Woke up in a lot of pain. It has gotten better since. It is a strange sensation, gurgling and pressure. The pain meds are super helpful at this point. I am so happy and a little envious of those who are not having any issues. :) I am on the way home now. Passed the leak test and have kept in all my fluids! Woohoo! Here we go!

I have the lapband which is getting reversed to the sleeve on the 19th, when I got my lapband I remember struggling on the preop diet like I am with this one, and thinking how am I going to be able to do this for weeks after?! well the weeks after are actually easier! your stomach will be so much smaller so you won't get those hunger pains. think of it as 2 weeks of struggle for a new life!

Are you allowed to have anything other then liquids on your preop diet. I'm allowed to have cheese stick yogurt pudding and cottage cheese just no more then 6 a day, it makes it a little easier but not much. Who wants to be Eating cottage cheese when their family are having hamburgers. But so far I have not given into temptations even though its hard

      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.
