I am sleeved. I am on day three post-op. I have had more pain from the hiatal hernia repair than the sleeve. The other day, I told my nurse it felt like I had been punched. That's when she asked the doctor to allow me to have oral pain medication. That helped immensely. I have been sleeping off and on today, mostly because of the pain meds. I am not really in pain now, just sore and moving slowly.

That is a cool ideal, better way to not stress. I want to weigh once a week, but I'll see once I get going. I do plan not to weigh after surgery until my first post-op visit.

My surgery is aug12th. On my 4week liquid diet. I know its will be worth it in the end but im so hungry. Atleast I get one meal a day:)

I cmnt imagine a 4 week liquid diet, I'm having to do one for 2weeks and I thought that was bad, but I don't have any reason to complain. You can do it just hang in there and remember why you are doing this when it gets hard.

I have my surgery scheduled for July 31st. I am currently on day 3 of my 2 week liquid pre op diet. I am taking in 100 ounces of Water, 4 Protein Shakes a day and about 3 sugar free jellos. I don't like broth so that is out of the question. Any other ideas for something I can have? I am in countdown mode but so hungry, will this feeling ever go away?

Hungry in Houston!!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
