I remember they tried to give me some liquid Lortab before they released me from the hospital...I couldn't get that stuff down; I think I would have to be in some awful pain to use that, and I've had to drink some pretty horrible stuff for other tests and such

That is great news. Welcome to the post op life (maybe compare it to "the real world" in the matrix movie). You will find many friends and companions among you as you explore your path to goal. Feel the comfort from those around you. The burden is not yours to lift alone. :)

I am struggling a little with pain and nausea. I am scared to death to put anything in my mouth. Reading everyone's that is far out post op writing about this time being a vague memory helps :-). I called the md office today and told them I feel worse than I did the day I left the hospital. I think I need to drink more... It's scary for me though...

Sleeved 6-4. Two day hospitalization surrounded by NICE folks with lots of experience in bariatrics. I am a lucky one, no nausea at all. Some discomfort and will continue to take pain Rx. Working to get fluids and Proteins up in the next 2 weeks. All in all doing well!

This is one of those things you just have muscle through. Theres no trick to make it easier. Get extra sleep if you can and stay away from the TV.

Feeling a little better this morning took a pretty long walk, made my son breakfast, did dishes etc then took another nap ;-) I definitely have kept the tv off pretty much. I've been out to my garden a couple times to to yank a weed or two. I have only gotten three milkshakes down since coming home. I'm going to try to get another one in this afternoon. Each day is a little better, I am just looking to be better right now :-)

      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.
