I'm the same way except I never vomited although the morphine did make me nauseated. Once I stopped that I felt better. I'm drinking my first Protein Shake at home now but it's taking a long time to get it down. Just a lot of burping. Gosh my bed sure feels good!!!

Well I'm finally on the losers bench . The surgery went well, they found the hernia and repaired it. I have no regrets at all. I'm not hungry, nor do I crave food. My mom passed by and had one of my fav dishes and I didn't even care I forgot until now. I have so much gas pain its to much. I have walked and walked and walked. Little by little it goes away. The morphine was a big help. No vomiting no nausa no itching thank God. I got one more night here and I'm going home can't wait. I pray tht everyone on here has a safe a speedy recoverery. :-)

      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.
