Congrats on ur upcoming surgery. I'm 8days post op I got my staples removed today. The 1st day or 2 may be a lil rough as u learn ur new stomach. Time ur pain meds so u r covered at all times, walk walk walk, and enjoy the new steps ur body is abt to begin. I learned that I had 2 kinds of pain. Gas from drinking 2 fast and slight gas if u don't drink ur fluids like u should. You will do great.

I'm feeling a little better today. Was just able to drink a little bit of a premier Protein shake mixed with PB2 powder and I seem to be tolerating it. So I guess you could say today is much better than Tuesday. I think in a few more days ill feel much better than today. Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I am sure all will be done for you. Don't be scared.

Hi Angel, it does appear we got sleeved on Monday ;-) my tummy is a little better but I just took a trip to the store for some Popsicles and had to take a pain pill once I got home. I'm barely getting 20 ounces of liquid a day. It's just so hard to hit 48 when you feel so full all the time.

I'm not sure who your surgeon or nutritionalist is but I called mine today and was told I could use PB2 or regular Peanut Butter in the Protein Drink to make it taste better she also said I could use some fruit in it. I'm afraid to eat any Soup yet but I am allowed if I want. I think I may try something tonight. What state are you in? I'm I'm Northern California.

I'm in Sourhern New Jersey. I haven't been cleared for Protein drinks yet so I'm getting none in this week until I'm cleared on Tuesday. I've been doing chicken broth and it's been amazing it actually helps me feel full for a while

Definitely start the chicken broth. It makes your stomach warm and eases the pain in the muscles and actually makes you feel way more stuffed than Water and Jello. I can't wait for Protein shakes next week

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
