Good for you, did they give you anything to take for your nausea? I took stuff religiously even if I didn't feel nauseous.

I came home tues and today I feel really good, but my energy levels are not great, I am going to walk outside for fresh air today, hope you are well

I suggest a heating pad on warm to assist with gas pain as well as the old standby walking. I was sleeved Monday, came home Tuesday and went for short walks twice yesterday. I'm a bit more tired today than yesterday but figure that is normal surgery recovery - 3 steps forward; 1 step back. ;D

I was sleeved Tuesday and came home yesterday. Battled nausea quite a bit, and still do on and off. "Real" food sounds and smells so good to me, and broth makes me want to gag. I can really only tolerate Decaf tea with a little honey, and plain ice Water. Anyone else feeling like this?

Came home on Tuesday. Doctor requires clear liquid through today, than I move on to full liquid tomorrow. I've been focusing on getting fluids in. Doctor counts Jello as clear liquid, so that has giving me something of substance. Can't stomach chicken broth, even homemade. Not too much pain; very surprised to be walking around so much considering 80% of my stomach is gone. I'm feeling very weak today, especially since I've been fairly active. Looking forward to starting Protein Shakes tomorrow so I can get some calories in the system. Thus far, would not change a thing.

I had my VSG on Wednesday the 7th, came home Thurs. Feeling very sore, but able to walk around (no pain meds for this chick!). I am on an all clear liquid diet until Aug 15 (hopefully no longer than that!) when I see the doctor. No problems keeping anything down; no nausea etc.. The problem I am having is that I'm feeling hungry for something a little more substantial for some reason. Any suggestions out there?

I was sleeved 8/6 and I am still in the hospital. Liquids are not passing through as they should. Doc thinks its due to a lot of swelling from the medical equipment used in the throat area. I am very concerned and afraid. I feel terrible. Any advice?

My first night home, my husband had bacon hot dogs with mac & cheese and even tho my stomach didn't want it, my mouth sure as heck did! I salivated like Pavlov's dog. :D

Lukewarm Water and G2 go down easiest for me. The Protein Shakes I have "froth" when I mix them and I DO NOT need any extra air in my tummy! I'm not doing pain meds and I'm sore. Haven't had a BM since the morning of surgery. Wondering when I should break out the MOM.

. So sorry you feel badly. The swelling will eventually go down and in the hospital you will get IV fluids to stay hydrated. Hang in there!

      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.
