I had my surgery on the 23rd. Everything went well I pretty much had no pain. I was giving anti nausea meds before surgery so I haven't had to deal with that. Today is my second day home and the only pain I have is from the gas. I been walking and resting. I have been trying to get in all my fluids, it's not that it's hard I just don't want it. I haven't tried Jello yet but I have some ginger tea and it's the best. Oh and I do have a band I've been wearing and it helps a lot keeps everything tight.

Thanks for letting me know that maybe I'm getting too much Protein and not enough activity. I mix I scoop of unjury chocolate and 11/2 c of Water. I also add PB2 1 ltablespoon . I mix in a cup that has a steel ball in it to mix it well. I also ate one of those cups of instant ramen. I also ate sugar free pudding.

I had my surgery April 18 and weight day of surgery 186.. Today 179. It seems like everything goes right through me(diarrhea ). I feel full but not to the point of throwing up. Today I hate 1000 calories which is a lot. I think I'm bored sitting at home. Hope I'm not in trouble or doing the wrong thing. I am open advise and suggestions. I did go for 30 minute walk.

Thanks everyone!!

Where did you get the band? I thought that would be a good idea. I also signed up to sell "it works". I know people who use it and I've read online that it helps after weight loss surgery. I just signed up to sell so I get a discount when I purchase. If anyone else is interested I could sign you up! Lol.

My goodness the story is familiar . I too have deleted myself from history. I always snap pictures of my husband and children but NEVER of myself . I have been shamed for a long time of my appearance. I am looking forward to my surgery. I want to feel better and live healthier.

The first thing I'm going to do for myself is take pictures and send them to everyone!!!

I was intrigued by your mention of It Works body wrap. So, I did a search for reviews. The best place to look is Amazon.com. Type this is the search box: It Works! Body Wraps. (1) Ultimate Body Applicators (Health and Beauty)

The reviews were eye opening, everything from 5 stars to 1 star. What was interesting is that 93 people gave it 1 star, but only 49 people gave it 5 stars. The discussion is very interesting, so I recommend reading the comments to get a good feel for it.

Some buyers got no results, others got fantastic results. So, I'd probably try it after some more research.

How much does it cost if you become a distributor? And do tell us your results, rootie3. Promise?

I am 3 days post op. My abdomen is still swollen and hurts when I move. I only have nausea when I move too much or don't take my pain meds. But I have one area near one of my incisions that burns when I move. It is getting better each day...but there is no way I could go back to work in less than 2 weeks!

In a few days you'll feel a lot better and more energetic, but pace yourself. Don't overdo it or you'll be in bed all day the next day.

      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.
