I did it! Got sleeved this morning. I feel pretty good. I really want ice chips. My mouth is so dry! I just noticed my lymph nodes are swollen, but I'm not freaking.

Over all, I'm pretty happy!

Got sleeves this morning! One minute they put an one gym mask over my mouth and the next minute I'm done! Yeah! Relatively low pain... Not as much as I thought. No gas pains until after my last wall, but it's not too bad either. Only glich is they won't give me broth or SF Popsicles, which they said we could have in the pre-op class. Only ice chips. Other than that, feeling great about my decision to do this! Hope you are all feeling well and recovering quickly!

PS - looks like I'm down 15 lbs from my 2 week pre-op diet! Yeah!

Official sleeve sisal. However I am stoned and high as a kit

Same here!! Pain has subsided a great deal with the help of the liquid roxi. I've managed to get in roughly 18 ounces of Fluid as well and several wallks. Wishing happy thoughts and speedy recoveries to all!

I may get to go home tomorrow. My morphine pump was giving me a headache so they were going to try an oral pain killer. Doc said it would be a liquid but when it arrived it was a pill and I was afraid to swallow it!

I've had apple juice and ice chips and walking and sleeping. How's everyone else doing?

I'm good so far. I can't take much off the lunch tray other than the Protein powders and Water. Everything is has made me nauseated. Pain has been tolerable for the most part. Shoulder hurt pretty bad yesterday but it's better today. I've walked 3 times today and hopefully they will let me out tomorrow.

I'm home and feel great, but I think I'm just happy to be home. It'll sink soon enough when I freak out about getting my liquids in. I downloaded an interval timer app and set it for 15 minute intervals to make sure I drink 2 ounces each time it rings. Lets see how long that lasts! Lol GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Feeling awful! Still in hospital for at leased another day. Apparently he had to hand sew a part cuz the stapler was misfiring and that section is very narrow. Been regurgitating spit balls the whole night. I just want to be back home.. Regretting this so badly, I miss my kids like crazy.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
