Ok, so I thought I would breeze through this no problem. Woke up from surgery with massive dry heaving and pain. Found out that the Morphine was making me very nausiated. They changed me to di lauded and now massive gas pains. Wondering if I made the right decision. I just want to cry. Hurt so badly. I even have a second belly button from the swelling. Need encouragement.

Remember....every day gets better. Today is bad but tomorrow will be a little better. Get up and walk if you can. I promise it helps

I was sleeved on the 1st and was totally right where you are! IT DOES GET BETTER!! The dry heaving was horrible. I don't even remember much of the first day or so in the hospital! You'll be feeling better before you know it! Hang in there! I pray for a speedy recovery

I experienced the same thing...I weaned myself off everything. Started walking and felt much better...my only issue now dealing with wanting more than clear broth atleast tmrw I go to cloudy broth which will help the head hunger.

Good luck your doing great. I am down almost 20lbs in 2 weeks...

Stacy03 thank you. Yes, that first day is a blur. I was so out of it, and they kept asking me questions, like who my other insurance carriers were and phone number. I yelled at the guy, or at least my son says I did, calling him a stupid ass as I had changed both several times and why they couldn't get it right. I honestly don't even remember that conversation. How are you feeling now? Do you have pain where the main port was? I am in so much pain in the big incision every time I move. Sucks.

I had my surgery Tuesday, July 2nd. Went great, not a lot of complaints. The "food" is getting old already, and I'm at complete liquid til day 15 when I get to start stuff of applesauce consistency. I can't wait for the pain to subside so I can go exercise again. Other than that I feel like I am learning a new language!!

That's a great way to put it, Kary--it really is a new language. We're learning to speak "Sleevish", I guess! I'm not quite fluent yet, but I'm getting a little better at it each day. :D

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

        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
