How are all the 7/30 sleevers doing? Got released from hospital yesterday around 11. Took a dose of liquid pain meds about an hour before release and haven't taken anything since. Spent last night at the hotel and my husband drove us home 5 hours today. My back is sore from using those muscles to maneuver without using my abdominals. My throat is a bit sore and scratchy. I'm hoping its just from having stuff put down it during surgery and will go away soon. Just had a sugar free popsicle and it was awesome! I am not hungry at all, so I'm mostly just focusing on liquids for now. I did have a Premier Protein shake this morning, it took me hours to finish it. How's everyone else doing? Are you getting Protein and fluids both in already? When do you start all your Vitamins?

Hi there. I was also sleeved on the 30th. Day 2 and three have been a little rough...... Some nausea, worse pain, and no energy whatsoever . I am hoping tomorrow is better. I also was not able to sleep last night. I did better in the hospital with the pain pump. I know it will get better, just hard right now. Hope everyone is doing well

Got my sleeve on Monday morning. I had vey little pain the first night sore throat asked fur meds for nausea before hand. Rested well other that the hospital staff checking vitals every 15-30 minutes. I not complaining welcomed their concerns. I did have a problem with voiding on day two. They drained it somehow, and gave me some meds. That worked shortly after taking it. I two night because on the voiding issue. Released and learned quickly what sip means and not gulp. It hurt like nothing I've every experienced. My mother has been with my through whole experience ( hospital) no I home with her until next week. She's my life saver. Journaling everything I consume. I know she spoils all of us.

Walked outside three times today. Feeling really good. There no stoping me now can't hold me back. My stomach makes this growling sound, not sure why.

I got home yesterday and all in all I'm doing ok. I had to have 3 leak checks with barium swallow tests because they were unable to tell if I had a leak or swelling. They have decided it was swelling but to be safe- I have to keep my drain and monitor output until next Friday so that's not awesome. But I'm down 11 lbs since surgery, in minimal pain, without nausea and home with this cute little puppy and all of my sleeve friends. I'm happy! :)

Hey everyone morning of day 5. Seems like we're all experiencing similar side effects which is comforting. Yesterday morning I felt pretty good which rapidly turned into pretty uncomfortable incision soreness later in the day. I think I may have pushed it too far because I was feeling good in the morning. food is going good. I am eating 1 TBSP of farina in the morning milked down with skim plus as well as 2 TBSP of Greek yogurt milked down. Getting a little bored of that but what can you do. Anyone been on the scale yet??

On the full liquid diet, I am drinking premier shakes, nectar shakes with crystal Vitamins, propel, broth, cream Soup watered down with 1% milk, and Powerade zero. That part is going pretty well. Using gas x , heating pad , and walking for the gas pain. Good luck. One day at a time is what I'm trying to tell myself.

You will LOVE egg drop Soup. The starchy cream Soups made me feel bad.

      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
