Getting Closer!



Recommended Posts

Had my "last supper" last evening and made it worth it. Didn't go overboard really just made it something tasty that I may not have again for a while. Tomorrow first day of week long full liquid diet. It's getting so close now!! June 18th can't come soon enough!!

Thank you! My surgery went very well and I actually came home the evening after on 6/19th which was a pleasant surprise. Have you had your surgery already?

I had mine on the 21st. Was dismissed by the doctor early in the morning but didn't get out of there until 3:00pm. It was Saturday and the hospital had just switched to a new computer system that week so I feel like that was why. I had great care and I am feeling great. How are you getting along? Any troubles?

I'm doing okay. I thought being a 8 days out I would feel even better, but unfortunately I am struggling with muscle spasms which my doctor has me on flexeril for. Also having trouble staying hydrated due to frequent episodes of diarrhea after I eat or drink

Anything. I'm sorry if that's too much info for you. How are you?

I am doing really good. I went to the massage therapist yesterday because I had gotten a knot in my neck from the hospital bed and sleeping in the recliner the first night home. She had a chair I got on so it didn't put any pressure on my stomach and it was heavenly. I recommend it especially if you were going before and the massage therapist knows what is going on with you. I swear it also helped get rid of the last of my gas pains too. Hope you get to feeling better.

I keep reading about everyone being constipated and like you I am having diarrhea. Don't know if they are talking about a different stage than we are in but I am NOT constipated.

      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.
