Well it's day 2, and I have hit my wall. I was feeling great, went for a longer walk and BAM I feel like the truck that run over me turned around re ran over me. I had hernia repair and I thing most of my pain is stemming from that! I do have a question for all of you, how much Fluid should I be able to drink before I leave the hospital. So far I have only been able to take 1.5 oz in about 3 hours. I know thats not much. They keep telling me I can leave tonight, but am seriously thinking I need to stay until tomorrow. Also have any of you had problems urinating right after surgery. Just another side effect I am having.

Don't get discouraged. Day 2 was awful for me too. I'm on Day 4 now, and I feel so "normal". Do you still have an IV? If so, don't worry about how much you're drinking, you'll have plenty. I didn't have problems with urinating. In fact, I was so uncomfortable in bed, I went to the bathroom constantly for something to "do"! Hang in there...I promise it will be better very soon!

your gonna be just fine. Keep walking keep sipping.

I had a problem peeing too. SO bad in fact that after I came out of recovery and I was sleeping in my room and had to go so I woke up and I went to the potty couldn't go, falling back asleep and some time after that ended up having to pee the bed. It was the only way I started being able to pee on my own. I was so tired and out of it I kinda forgot I had done it until I was fully awake a few hours later. I was so embarrassed.

But yeah I had problems peeing for a few weeks. It just seemed to take longer for it to start the stream.

Thanks everyone! I hit my wall today where they say your inflammation is at its highest, and let me tell you it was AWFUL!!!! They gave me torodol and decradon and I feel 100% better! I was still only able to get in 3 cc of liquids in today but I still have my IV in so tomorrow's goal is to get my fluids in. Hopeing to go home tomorrow!!! Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

        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
