I was sleeved oct 30th' date='came home yesterday,the gas is a KILLER!!!!not getting liquids down so well:-([/quote']

MM, the gas is a mess. Hang in there. Do you have some gas-x strips? I had to use them for a few days and they really helped. It's really hard to drink with that chest pain.

Don't weigh yourself for at least 2 weeks. It'll take a few days /a week to shed that extra iv weight from the hospital. Keep drinking, and sleep as much as you need to so you can heal. I had my surgery October 2nd and I promise it gets better fast!

I was sleeved on Oct 7. Vetniemeer took the words right out of my mouth. The chest pain is lessened with walking and for me the strips were a huge help.

I think it's like a surgery high- you come down off of it a few days later and you're super exhausted. Don't push yourself. Rest but walk a couple laps around the house here and there.

Hang in there. Rest because your abdominal muscles need to bind back together. However balance this with sitting and walking so all the gads they put inside the body moves out easier. Remember to feed and hydrate well. I was sleeved in Oct 29 and taking this new life one day at a time. Tummy hurts much when I forget to rest in the afternoon for a few hours. I am walking around the house, sitting and resting. It helps a lot. Do not over do it. Listen to your body. Blessings

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
