I got home yesterday evening spent most of today sleeping but I got in at least 40 oz of fluids (large glass of Water and a bottle of g2)but no protein

liquids after surgery are most important. You don't want to get sick so it is great that you can handle liquids. Just work in Proteins when you can. Congrats on your homecoming :-)

Medication in apple sauce is disgusting. I found a way around it. We are allowed spices, so I added a little cinnamon. It helped a lot.

Try mixing in with a teaspoon of Sugar Free Chocolate sauce. The squirt bottle you use to make chocolate milk or on your sundae. You can't even taste the pills. Make sure it's sugar free.

I had my 2 week post-surgery mtg with the surgeon today. All went well. My H&H are still low due to blood loss [8 & 27 - should be 15 and 40], but I am down 28 lbs and I am off insulin all together. Feeling good [worth the difficulties]. My mood gets better with each passing day as I am also feeling better eating the pureed diet]. You all?

I can't find the post op thread for December.

Under Forums' date=' my window looks like this

post-28139-13813811063839_thumb.jpg

I clicked on the post-operation gastric bypass. December is at the very top after I clicked on that cuz it is very well used and people are posting all the time.

I just realized an easier way, click on my picture and view my posts. You will see our post op thread there :-) it will be towards the bottom of the list.

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
