Here waiting too! Excited but scared. It was hard saying bye to my kids this morning. There's no turning back now! I'm doing this to make sure I'm here to raise them. I'm really emotional right now.

I'm in and out of consciousness. But I really don't have pain I'm surprised that I've even had surgery today. Drunk too much earlier today and was hurting a little bit but other than that. I'm fine.

Hey everyone! How's everyone feeling?

Just got home from the hospital this afternoon. Feelin pretty good but really sore. Pain is manageable. Water feels weird going down. Like bubbly feeling which I think is gas... Full liquids go down easier. The day of the surgery and the day after was horrible. I was so over medicated and nauseated I was vomiting. One time I vomited so hard that I broke a blood vessel in my head, actually felt it pop, and then blood came pouring out my nose. That was scary! But that night I turned a corner and I feel like I am doing well today.

MK1986. I am doing much better as well some pain at my incision sites. I am down 15lbs so far and I am ecstatic. I am definitely tired of the liquids and ready to move to another phase but I am being patient and I know it will come in time.

I'm new, I was sleeved on Mar 11th,came home on the 14th. I am on purees. Doing OK haven't taken pain meds since yesterday. I'm actually worried or confused maybe that I seem to be easily able to drink and eat. I am not experiencing the 'three bites and full' that you hear about. I'm down 19 from my highest (12 since surgery day)

      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
