My dr said the ones I had were ok as they were adult ones, however I am most likely finding something different as I am beginning to not like the gumminess. Lol... Walmart has the b complex liquid that is great.

Hey everyone just dropping by to say hello. I am now 9 days post op and getting better everyday. Still have some muscle soreness on my right side, but am very thankful I have not been sick or had any other issues. As of Monday (one week post op) I am down 10 lbs. That is a total of 41 lbs since I started this whole journey. I just get tired pretty easy that is the only complaint I have. I am on puréed foods now and no issues. Yay!

Update: hey everyone I am back in the hospital. This time they admitted me and I don't know how long they are keeping me. Today I feel the beat I've ever had since the surgery. The nurse even said im getting my color back. :) Tomorrow I have more test' date=' they are still trying to figure out what's wrong. So far I've had an ultrasound, MRI, x-ray. On top of that they had to do a PICC Line because no one could get to another vain and my doctor wanted blood work done. Please keep me in your prays, I just want to feel normal again[/quote']

Clairpooh.. I hope that you are feeling better soon.. Sending big hugs and prayers for health to you :)

I have had right side pain, but my surgeon said that she had to cut more into my muscle on that side and that will pain for a little bit, but it will eventually get better. Has it gotten better since you posted? If it hasn't , then you should call your doc to be sure.

I have the right side pain too, you can tell by the way the incision on that side looks that he had to cut into more muscle. If it wasn't for that, I would be good to go.

      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.
