Had mine march 8 also.Today was the first time i was able to keep down anything but Water. Had some Tomato Soup and am now working on a Protein Shake. I am craving tuna salad. And ya, the first couple days were bad. I even was wishing i hadnt done it. I was in hospital until Sunday night. I wasnt using hardly any pain meds. I thought i would feel better quicker if i wasnt doped up. Plus they really knock me out. But i gave in yesterday. Between the pain meds and nausea meds, i am much better today, even if i am sleeping most of it away!

I had mine a day before you ladies. March 7th. Day 5 for me is today and it has been the turning point. I feel really good. Gas pains in my back and shoulders have subsided to a minimum. I think I want to try so some creamy Soup a little later. I was feeling like a knot in my chest everytime I swallowed - between my breast bone and that has gone too. So I am getting in way more liquids.< /p>

I was sleeved on the 8th. I pray the pain when I swallow will go away soon. I'm def not getting enough liquids in. I went in for surgery on Friday the 8th and didn't come home till Monday afternoon. Had some terrible nauseousness. Starting to feel pretty week, haven't had anything bit Powerade zero and sugar free Popsicles.

THe pain when you swallow will subside. I still feel it a little bit day 6 but not too bad. I do have gas still but no where near what it was. I have to focus on sip sip sipping I am not getting enough liquid. I did eat about 4 ounces of greek yogurt this morning. It does get better everyday.

Hi all, I'm new to this, too. Had my surgery on March 7, and really no big problems. I made sure they kept giving me anti-nausia medicine in the hospital and they gave me a perscription for pain and anti-nausia to go home with. However, haven't had to open them at all. I had the pain between the breasts off and on - guess it is heart burn for a couple of days, but nothing really bad. Love Fruitopia yogurt (peach or the strawberry) with the unflavored Protein added. Actually had broccoli and cheese Soup yesterday at Panera bread. I had 1/2 cup while there an the other half about 2-3 hours later. Let's hang in there!

That's too funny! I was sleeved on the 8th also, and for some reason the thing I'm really looking forward to eating when I can is tuna! I like tuna, but never thought it would be the thing I was looking forward to.

Seeing all these issues with swallowing, I'm actually a little concerned that I don't have any. Fluids are going down pretty easily. I'm still drinking slow, but could drink faster if I wanted. My doctor fixed a fairly large hiatal hernia, so maybe that has actually helped my swallowing? I don't know.

I was sleeved march 8 too!! I'm feeling good, I'm getting about 20-30 oz of fluids. I ate cream of chicken this morning, watered down. And then I had about 1 teaspoon of sugar free pudding for lunch. It just weird because I can't tell when I'm full, or even when I'm hungry. I feel alot of bubbling like, gas, just not sure if its hunger or gas. Lol.

Oh, I definitely feel like the hard part was the first 24 hours. Things get better and easier every day. I'm loving chicken or beef broth. I'm not liking the taste of my Protein shakes (I liked them before surgery), but am forcing them down.

      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.
