Had my surgery June 3...drove myself to my first post-op appointment today. I'm still sore at the incision sites (especially where the surgeon took out my stomach). Otherwise, doing well. Just need to work harder on getting my fluids and Protein in. I'm doing well on exercise and Vitamins though.

You'll do fine, but expect to be sore for a while.

Wow I can only imagine the gas pain, they are no joke without surgery.. I heard walking and a heating pad helps with that.. & walking & sippin helps to get the Water down easier. Hope u start to feel better soon.

It will get better! U made it to the other side :-)

Thanks DaFierce1! I am trying to walk but I am so damn tired too! I need to figure out how to get my fluids in because I seem to get more gas when I sip.

I'm having problems getting all of my Fluid in as well. I was having pain with everything that I tried to drink (protein shakes included). My doc prescribed Raglan (aka Metoclopramide) which helps things move thru the body easier. Also, I stumbled on to another post a few days ago that recommended that people like me use a toddler's sippy cup. It gives the right amount of fluids w/o much air. I can sip on that easily!

Thanks PainInTheGlass! I am going to try the sippy cup. Hopefully that will help!

Love my sippy cups. I just enlarged the holes a tiny bit so I didn't have to suck on it like the toddlers they're designed for. Good luck!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
