Yep, same here. sleep, sip, walk, sip, sleep etc. haven't slept more than two hours at a time. Not sure why? Maybe because I'm still in the hospital, but I get to leave today.

Because someone wakes you up every two hours in the hospital!!

I spent my first night home last night in my own bed and even slept flat w no discomfort. It was great to be in my own bed:)

I was lucky on this front. They only woke me at 3am and moved vitals to the same time as blood draw while I was in there so I could sleep! My hospital was great!

Good luck to all! Post-op soft food diet isn't too bad. It is nice to have some different flavors. Added GNC's Isopure Zero Carb 40 Protein flavored drinks to my daily sipping. Flavors aren't too bad and it is better than all the shakes. It helps get all the Proteins in! Looking forward to adding a variety of foods in about 3 weeks. Hope everyone has an easy road!!

I am day 14 post op having been doing pretty good. tomorrow I start soft mushy so moving out of puree's each step is sure a change. The last 3 days or so I am having back pain right in the middle close to my bra back. I think it must be gas. It hurts and thankfully goes away when I lay down. The weather has been awful this week and so maybe I haven't been walking enough.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
